COH/V- Yes a lot of people picked this already but I really loved the whole hero and villian thing, I pick up DCUO every now and then but i'm not much of an "action" gamer so to speak so i prefer the style of COH/V much more.
The other?
Matrix Online- Yes it had bugs, and the combat system was odd with it's locking you so they could do all the neato (Yay for terms people don't use anymore) special moves, but I really like the faction system, and the fact you could dress up and act like one of the machines.
Those are the two I'd like to see come back.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.
Matrix Online : I loved the gear. The variety of styles, the complex materials and colours. The combat felt & sounded real. The assortment of classes & the speed in which you could change roles. The crafting might not have been anywhere near that of SWG but it had immense variety. The diversity of the world environment. The oriental district, the night clubs that no one bother with.

Konfess your cyns and some maybe forgiven Boy: Why can't I talk to Him? Mom: We don't talk to Priests. As if it could exist, without being payed for. F2P means you get what you paid for. Pay nothing, get nothing. Even telemarketers wouldn't think that. It costs money to play. Therefore P2W.
Many people may still not know this, but Star Wars Galaxies has been resurrected and is nearing completion. It's been rewritten from the ground up, and has been slowly coming together since 2006.
Can we also include browser games in that list or is it strictly client based games like Everquest (this is not a dead MMO it's an example of a type of MMO)
Cause if we can include browser games i'd like 8 realms and Idle Worship back, especially Idle Worship.

.Vanguiard is already a complete game and as good as most out there,however the market obviously doesn't want another Wow clone.
Vanguard a WOW clone?
The term WoW clone has lost all meaning. IMO, using it shows how little you know about MMOs and where they came from.
Agreed. I would love to see Vanguard come back with a more stable engine. I don't however, see how anyone that ever played the game could call it a WoW clone.
COH/V- Yes a lot of people picked this already but I really loved the whole hero and villian thing, I pick up DCUO every now and then but i'm not much of an "action" gamer so to speak so i prefer the style of COH/V much more.

because it lacks a few features you prefer."

the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you
playing an MMORPG?"
I find it amazing how many games people love and would like to come back that were abused and abandoned by NCSoft.
Seriously, NCSoft can suck a big one.

When I played, there were anywhere between 2500-3200 people playing. The cantinas were always full. The hospitals always had doctors. Just like back in the original game.
If you go to the link I posted above, they have a server status box in the upper-right corner that shows how many people are on at that moment. It's been maintaining 1200-2000 people right now. Others might be waiting for it to be complete, like myself.
Thats not a lot of people considering how many people claim it was one of the best MMO's ever made.
Lets face it, people talk all kinds of shit about these old games, but when it comes to actually playing them, .... naah ..... too old and the graphics suck.
What they really want are complete remakes with cutting edge graphics, plus full loot pvp sandbox mechanics.
Am I right?
FFA Nonconsentual Full Loot PvP ...You know you want it!!

anarchy online (its dead to me)
tabula rasa
SWG pre cu
Auto Assault
Vanguard
Asheron's Call 2 ( a bit more updated and fixed ) and Tabula Rasa
MAYBE AC2 while it was my first real open MMO, but i loved it.
And a little suggestion - a world like Diablo
there come to mind...Hellgate: London
( Yes, I have played TSW ....ok overall, but i don't know. Didn't get any deeper to it. )
Trying hard to become human as it should be.
No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin
Pre CU Star Wars Galaxies
City of Heroes
Not an MMO, but the old SSI Gold Box Series of D&D Games
For me?
COH/V- Yes a lot of people picked this already but I really loved the whole hero and villian thing, I pick up DCUO every now and then but i'm not much of an "action" gamer so to speak so i prefer the style of COH/V much more.

Same goes for Earth and Beyond.
I don't believe people really want to play these games at all. They just think they do.

And how many people were playing it I might ask?
I know when I played EnB recently, there was maybe a max of 200 people playing the game.
Lots of talk but it seems very few actually act on what they say.

If that happens then those would be my three choices too.
SWG-pre NGE (pre- or post CU are both fine)
Auto Assault

Log in to the game right now to vote on the new prog server. Hopefully we can get one that's locked off at SoV.
EQ The Early Years was a bit of a joke phrasing based upon a 70's tv show called Butch and Sundance The Early Days.
