I'm still waiting for a Warhammer 40,000 MMOFPS with the massive scale and warfare Planetside once had. Hell, if you want to make things even crazier, you could put players in command of small AI squads.

The DK thing is explained, but the idea they came up with for the reason for all the DK's was kinda stupid (I'm gonna make cannon fodder to draw out a SINGLE enemy!)[/quote]Entropy_kC said:
He's not 12 feet tall. He only looks it in a few shots because he's an illusion. When he shows up (I've seen him... four times in leveling) he's about the size of a standard human. Problem is that they've made him seem impotent in the gameworld.
WoW is set three years after War3, BC is another two years after that, and Wrath 2 years after that. So from the first killing of Ragnaros to the killing of Yogg-Saron (the current end boss) is a span of 4 years.
As for the DK's not being undead, Arthas is technically still alive in Warcraft 3's undead campaign. Wrath really turned up the story compared to it's predecessors. There are a few questlines that are friggin sweet (wrathgate, dk start zone, and Mattias Lehner quests), but overall it's slwoly loosing it's character gameplay wise (to me).
So I'm probably gonna swap to Champions when it comes out, and see if that grabs me. If not... I donno.
Also, a Battletech MMO would be interesting. A Bleach MMO sounds like it's actually doable... the two factions being Hollow and Shinigami, with "prestige" classes being Vizard and Arancarr (or however it's spelled)
There's a fanmade Pokemon mmo. It's pretty shitty though. You'd have to pull it off pretty well to get it to be well received.
Um. I think maybe a gundam mmo. Can't use the later continuity's Gundams either; they're too overpowered in comparison to the majority of mobile suits. Skilling might be an issue in that kind of game though.
Phantasy Star! That'd be interesting. Again, skilling hasn't been done before, but given the futuristic setting I'm sure Sega could come up with something.

Yeah, I agree about the really nice quest lines, a lot of lore about Arthas (as you'd expect) in them, especially in Icecrown. I don't really know about the stuff at the moment because I haven't played in about 9 months I think.Calax said:
What's Champions?
I'd love it. Was so disappointed when the only game from its franchise in years was a fps. I'd also go for Warhammer 40K, Doctor Who (give us the life of a dalek killer!) and possibly Star Trek. I may regret playing anything trekkie mind...Ghostwise said:
I did come up with some general outlining of gameplay mechanics when I thought of it before. I guess I'll say a little bit on the subject to start conversation.joe182 said:A Gundam MMO would be awesomeinfernovolver said:Though to stop there being loads of a certain type of gundam, a gundam builder type of system would be cool, something like the one used in Armoured Core...
Players would be called pilots. Every pilot -is- a newtype (and for those unfamiliar with the term, newtypes are basically psychics) due to the how you can see and know more than you'd be allowed to in character. Every player could pilot fighters, mobile suits, mobile armors, or hybrids. I don't want to get into tanks, or being on foot or anything. Stuff like that almost never even phases mobile suits. Now what could work is perhaps large spaceships and you could move on foot to various turrets and such. Hell, you could expand upon that a lot.
Think of dozens of players each filling specific roles on a huge battleship in space. Players manning cannons, players piloting mobile suits/armors/fighters flying in and out of the hangar, etc. It could be a huge mass pvp, or perhaps one player could 'hire' various crewmembers and coordinate it in a single player experience strictly for pve. You wouldn't even need to do this in space. In air, water, maybe even land. As I said, this could be expanded upon greatly.
Character creation would involve choosing your race, skin color, birthplace (perhaps space colonies, on earth, etc), alignment, and if you associate with any known factions (earth federation, zeon, w/e). Players would choose their preference of whatever type of combat they might prefer, and they'd start off with a generic really "early" model of mobile suit/armor/fighter that fills their preference. Perhaps like a RGM-79 GM or something simple. As you progress, you can pilot bigger and better mobile suits from further on in the Gundam universe. You could choose various weapons, mix and match parts, and perhaps there could be a crafting system where you manufacture your own parts and equipment.
Didn't think I was going to type that much. I've got tons of more ideas, but unfortunately developers never look on random forums for game pitches. This is just the tip of the iceberg, in another words.
