in The Pub at MMORPG.COM

which one would it be?

If not listed here just write which one you would like.

By Fanatsy Traditional I mean like elf, humans, orcs.
By Fantasy Made up I mean something like Saga of Ryzom.
By Space I mean not like Eve, but with a full character on top.
By Futuristic i mean anything with mech etc.

The rest I think prolly explain itself.

And you can of course specify it as much as you want :)

    Fantasy Traditional. 

    To be more specific, The Forgotten Realms. 

    I've been reading those books for years and years and years and feel as if I know that world like the back of my hand.  When I started MUDding back in the day I wanted to code my own MUD based on the entire TFR world.  Yeah, that didn't happen...  :)

    Completely personal preference here but that's what I'd like to see.

    Just about anything that doesnt contain more of those damn fey folk!

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

    That's a hard choice, because I can think of a very good game for many of those.

    You have a vast world with tons of lore and a great skill and level system in Forgotten Realms and Dragon Lance. There are also many really good fantasy worlds written down in books that would be interesting to see in a MMO.

    You could also have a MMO that is Medieval in the realistic sense. Player ran Castles and if you have the skill Empires, that can be sacked and taken over by other PC's. Magic wouldn't play a part in this and neither would magic folk. Just plain old Medieval lore in the Middle Ages.

    Space, which is what I would vote for, is still unexplored for the most part in the MMO genre. I love the Star Wars Universe in the KOTOR era myself, but Stargate, Star Trek, and just about any other T.V series or Movie with an in depth Universe would be great. Even a made up one with a lot of depth, several worlds, space stations and space ships, and player ran colonies would be awesome.

    Earth now would be cool if done realistically as well as Earth Future. As long as it's no post apocalyptic, because I really don't like that setting or the Cyber punk settings.

    1. Forgotten Realms -> Real MMO based on 3.5 D&D (not DDO bulshit)

    2. Postapocaliptic -> Fallout online

    fey folk would be elves and similar.

    I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

    Battletech. I would love a mechwarrior MMO.

    I would say futuristic I guess, cause all my other mmo needs have been satisfied.  Was really disappointed when I saw that the Warhammer mmo would be fantasy and not Warhammer 40k.  Think that game would be amazing if done right.

    Some people have suggested, in other threads, things like Steampunk or Sci Fi Western and they sound sort of fun to me.  I have to admit, I'm dead sick of fantasy.

  • ApocalypticaApocalyptica Member Posts: 491
    SciFi Western, sounds strange to me. But Western in general could be a good settings.

    For a random title I'd go with an earth future type MMO, something along the lines of Anarchy Online, only without the cut/paste instanced missions.

    For a preset theme I'd love to see something based of Magic: The Gathering. There's so many untapped fantasy races etc. in MTG that could make for some pretty deep gameplay.

    I would definately choose something in the midevil ages.  Something like an Age of Empires mmo.  There would be no magic and people could PvP to fight over land, i guess similiar to the RvR battle that go on in DAoC, but without the magic element whatsoever.  Maybe like have some of the ideas they had for Roma Victor (attacking different parts of the body, semi-permi-death, start off as a slave (in this case a servant, or slave depending on the time period/area).)  That would be my dream mmo...

    medival would be pretty coll if pulled of correctly I think :)

    I'd love to see a post apocalypse game which includes magic and other elements of fantasy.  Soemthing like David Gemmells Jon Shannow novells, or Stephen Kings Darktower series, or Troikas Fallout.
  • HerkmeckHerkmeck Member Posts: 206

    I would love to see a game based on David Webbers writings of Honor Harrington (spelling).  The combat system alone would draw me to another space based game.  Can you imagine a battle that starts off with the two sides so far apart that closure time will be in 30-40 mins.  With massive waves of missles being thrown back and forth?

    This other game, just lacked that ability, 5-30sec combat, you cant enjoy.  And thats even if your computer was lag free, forget about it with 56k modem and a older computer.
