    Couple of years back I watched the whole Babylon 5 series again and was awestruck once again by the writing.

    Should have used books...

    I loved Babylon 5, especially the first 3 years.  The fall of the Narn home world may be the most iconic images of space combat I've seen.  The writing was exceptional up until Straczynski discovered the copy and paste feature.  Too many Mimbari prophecies ended up in the mouth of G'Kar verbatim.

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    Pacific Rim, didn't think of that one. I like!

    Dune is always the first IP I think of when one of these lists pop up.

    If 13 movies, 12 tv specials, 800+ episodes, and 87 manga volumes count as enough lore to build a world, I would also love to see something based on One Piece. RvR, naturally

    Someone mentioned it on a prior post: Ringworld.  I'm attracted to the concept of a LARGE game-play arena, near infinite expansion.  I'm intrigued by Start Citizen's (someday) vastness, but space operas are not my genre, but I'm not opposed to having a "science fiction" component.  Many species/races, vast areas to explore, fight for, claim and build anything from a hunting lodge to a vast fortress.

    Michael J Straczynski took inspiration from a series of books written in the 30s called The Lensman. Which is about 2 ancient alien races where one keeps itself hidden from the other and engages in a secret War by helping lesser races develop to fight in this war.

    Really good series, although a bit dated by today's sci fi standards.

    Hmm, I was gonna suggest Harry Potter but that was already said but how about a Lego styled MMO.  Could work if it was done correctly.  Also another one that could be cool would be Storm Ship Troopers.  I kinda liked that movie and it could make for a pretty good MMO.

    Was "The Purge" mentioned?

    By Pacific Rim I expect you mean, that you all want to pilot Jaegers by you self?  So you would expect a game world filled with 200+ players all piloting Jaegers?  That are the scale of 20+ stories tall in an open world game?  And no one wants to play the little guy trying not to be stepped on, and doing the grunt work of building and maintaining the Jaegers.

    Think about what you are asking for.  Do you really want an MMO where you are in this world with a menial role.  Or do you want a co-op single player story game, where you are the main or predominate character?

    How would I develop a Pacific Rim MMO?  The game world has the nine Shatterdomes.  Each has 3 Jaegers, and the capacity for 3 more. The roll of a new character is not to pilot a Jaeger, but to support the maintenance, improvement and building of additional Jaeger.  By doing so, they unlock time at the controls of and instanced Jaeger battle.  So a player can spend 4 days collect and harvesting resources, then processing said resources into components to maintain, improve and build new Jaeger. All for 1 hour at the controls of a Jaeger.  Or they could buy a loot crate of materials in the cash shop.

    Pardon any spelling errors

    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.

    Terminator and tron and mad max are the three inspiring movies which made it clear that the hardwork can do anything easily.
    I have watched all those movies on beetv app, https://beetvapp.com/

    Not sure if you're a prophet or a space wizard.

    Ask and ye shall receive.
