Trademarks Link Bungie to Potential MMO "Destiny"
- Thread starter Tom Goldman

Interesting.
Though another MMO on the market right now seems crazy.
WOW has the vast hoards, with EVE filling the "Space" niche.
TOR is on the way, which also covers a more broad Sci Fi appeal.
And then to top it off Blizzard is already building it's new baby, "Titan".
It would seem mad for Bungie to try throw their hat into the ring as well, even more mad if Activision is the publisher now.

Destiny eh? My guess it's going to be an MMO which sees your character stranded in a distant galaxy. Enemies will include unappreciative fans and heartless tv network execs.
...
But yeh, as people say, I can only see another MMO having a tough time. With all the ones currently on (and due to enter the market) are there really enough gamers interested in playing an MMO, even if it is one by Bungie?

I'd take that whole possible MMO rumor with a carton of salt. Didn't the same source that started that MMO rumor also claim that Bungie had laid off many employees when they did no such thing? Yeah that person claiming to be an ex-Bungie employee is almost certainly not one. As someone claiming to had just worked at Bungie should know whether or not there was a mass layoff of people there.
Personally, I'm hoping for a space sim shooter something along the reigns of Rogue Squadron or Star Wars Battlefront II's space battles. I want to think that the "Long Night of Solace" mission from Reach wasn't just something they randomly put in their for lolz. They were testing out a reaction to space combat.

It may not necceserily be an archangel theme in space.
The pilots may simply be reffered to as the angel. You know alot of military groups do this sort of tign. Especially in games.
How do you do a trademark search anyway?
p.p: oh this justin bieber spam is making me dizzy X_X

By visiting the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's website and using their Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS): http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=4003:j2pjdo.1.1Azmael Silverlance said:
If you were, for example, interested in searching for trademarks held by Bungie, just stick the keyword "bungie" in the Browse Directory search option, click "Browse," and it'll pull all the trademarks that have been registered by Bungie. Voilà!
Just because a game is an MMO based in space doesn't make it WoW in space.ratman995 said:
I'd be more than willing to pay a monthly fee for the game if it had a single universal server (no lame "shards" ala Star Trek Online), wild and interesting environments (read: Neil Gaiman on cough syrup), had a huge player driven marketplace (WoW's is too small) and a way for players to actually impact the game. Oh, and it can't be as boring as EVE and definitely can't be as cookie cutter as WoW. I know, wishful thinking.
I'll just leave you to figure out the irony... in fact I'll just leave this link here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/IronyCarlos Alexandre said:
Use it to get a headstart.
As much as I want to know more about Bungie is doing, I am more interested in the fact they supposedly set up a dummy corporation to protect this info. I seems a bit extreme to me.
It also seems like it would be illegal.

well, if they are, space is a pretty blank slate, you can do about anything you want with it, I wish them the best of luck if they are and look forward to their work.
Edit:
Edit:
nothing extreme about it, they don't want people betting against them and all of that jazz that's currently happening with Bioware's MMO. When theirs a LOT of money involved I'm -pretty sure businesses will go the extra mile.Silver Patriot said:
There's nothing generally "illegal" about a front company. Not unless it is actually used for an illegal purpose (e.g., avoiding taxes). But it is interesting to note that the registration on podophobia expired last year and the business was declared inactive by the Secretary of State 90 days later as required by law. Technically, they aren't allowed to conduct business anymore.Silver Patriot said:
