Glyptodons, Smilodons, Squirrels, Rabbits, Bears you name It. Throw in a couple griffins and some Sasquatch/Yeti and unicorns for good measure.
You could have around 30+ Races to choose to play as and one possibility could be to greatly customize the color scheme of the entire body of your race as well as more subtle features, such as the face, eyes, ears, fur style etc.
A wonder world if you will. It`s like Austin Power`s Mojo comboed with fruit juices and non-sensual peppers.
A world of adventure, fun and magic. One where gear/equipment and abilities is their to enhance the players own individual personality, not determine the total worth of you as a player.
A stuffed cuddlekins Glyptodon Perhaps? No? Well Then there`s no pleasing you is there Mr.Powers.
Anyway, onto...
Redefining the GIMP which relates to the stuffed animal MOGGIE
A player should not become obsolete or have their gameplay punished for choosing abilities and passive skills that they personally like. In an SRPG I can usually choose whatever abilities and skills I personally like and still be a formidable opponent and player with a powerful character. FoTM, Min/maxxing, ""Proper Skill and Abilitie builds'' should be of the past and go in the graveyard. This is one ancient game design that really hurts truely creating a character you like and can immerse yourself in.

You could have a vast and large choice of color schemes and personalized color customize tool to uniquely choose colors for each section of your character.
As well as a wonderful race selection at character creation.
The gameplay could be more focused around exploration, community depth, creative crafting/player made objects and developing, enhancing and stylizing your character.
why don't we just make an easter egg painting MMO.
Huh. Is this plushophilia?
There are still so many things about this world that I just don't understand.
Playing: EVE, Final Fantasy 13, Uncharted 2, Need for Speed: Shift
And let's not forget about the prodigious Primates family. To add a spark of humanoid flavor.
) there, down an endless, vast backdrop, lay Kekernanas, the oath brother of the 7th dimension of the four fold primal energy.
Amongst the rubble and refuse, in a mystical Tree Garden ( Erhmm...Jungle
And his brother, Mooperz.
And Let's not forget TemmyCoCo, the only prodigious wind fighter to search out the secret of the Gods.
Wouldn't this be what a Pokemon mmorpg would sorta look like? oO
So, you never heard of WebKinz before? Go to Hallmark, buy a WebKinz and play the MMO. It's instanced, so you could even call it a modernized MMO.
That's quite interesting actually. I have never heard of WebKinz but I do know of the Company Ganz who is the creator of It.
I'm more talking about something a little more evolved in regards to graphics and some different gameplay ideas / gameplay structure.
More along the lines of an open Ultima Online style world as one possibility but with 3D graphics and gameplay ideas that complement the foundational idea of the style of the game world. Or even something with a similarity to World of Warcraft minus the large focus on mob hunting/grinding and more unique gameplay ideas to play with.
But that's still quite neat none the less.
Thanks for telling us about It.
Well, not really. You wouldn't be a humanoid who has animal pets or anything like that, you would be your own animal character.
At least that's what I was thinking in terms of.
The animals could very well be designed as anthropomorphic or as a dual mode ( Like when you want to travel you can change into full animal mode and for other stuff such as crafting etc you would be as an anthropomorphic look. )
