Probably said before, just gonna support that person: I want to play a stargate MMO, but it has to be an RPG not one of those bloody card games and I can't pick 'Earth': I have to pick between a slave race(s)/Goa'uld (Factions?)/rebelling faction(s)/wraith/replicators/whatever.
The whole universe seems to be an incredibly interesting concept which is crippled by being shown through the eyes of Earth, which has an incredibly limited viewpoint in comparison. Also once you realise that most shows made by Americans (Even if filmed in Vancouver) treat Terrans in science fiction like they do Americans in regular fiction (Same goes for fantasy) you generally want to get as far away from them as possible and look at the viewpoint of other races, then justify their point of view until the Humans are the bad guys and you don't have to be ashamed of your thinly veiled biggotry.
Or maybe that's just me. Still though, Terrans within the SG universe only really ever explore and fight when they get in trouble, so eventually play would get boring.
Unless you wanted to do an alternate/future world where Terra has devloped a real stake in the Galaxy. That would be acceptable. The more I write the less I think someone came up with this idea before.
EDIT: For once I agree with the majority. When I learned that Bioware (A great Canuck company whose games I've always enjoyed) was going to make a star wars MMO (SWG NEVER HAPPENED) I felt so good I needed to change my pants.
The DJinn has granted you your wish and taken your soul:

The issue here being that you HAVE to be an SG member. Not to mention that the archetpyes I've seen seem for the most part to be rip offs of the character roles played by the main characters.
So while it is an SG MMO, it fell into pretty much every pitfall I feared it would. That being said I'm still applying for the beta and google mapping the houses of my competitors so I can slit their throats.
Since when do you HAVE to be an SG member? How else would you have 2 factions?
"The classes are Archaeologist, Asgard, Goa'uld, Jaffa, Scientist, Soldier and Commando."(stargateworldswiki.com)
And as if Stargate Worlds is EVER going to go into open beta...(I'm waiting for it too)
Aaanyway, on topic now.

A Warhammer 40k RPG set in the future with big battles in space, I'd pay to play that shit.
YES YES YES YES YES!
EDIT: Official List of MMOs I want
A Fallout 1 type MMO, I can just see it more clearly than if it were like Fallout 3.
The W40k MMO. How would that work? Too many Spacemarines. PLAY IG. I would if everyone was a Spacemarine.(2011?)
SGW(SGW = StarGate Worlds). Not very much though.
