Grand Theft Auto MMO would be good, and really insane but atleast the grind quest be fun $$
It's called APB, which is what I was going to mention. The game looks incredibly fun.

[...] our problem is that we are so disillustioned by the massacre that new-blood writers have made of the storyline that we simply don't want to play it.
The story in Warcraft is good, yes, but I don't think that the writers of WoW ruined it; things like the "Caverns of Time" (you go back in time and relive events of the RTS series) really add to the game. The only "massacring" of the story is that theoretically people like Illidan and Kel'Thuzad are dead. I'm not sure whether they've allowed players to engage in combat with Arthas himself, but I feel reasonably confident that Blizzard won't let him die, he'll escape and leave a chest or something for loot.

Edit: misread original post, so deleted paragraph relating to misread section.
Ok not wanting to start a total flaming war with an obvious WoW-fan, but serously its taken them untill the 2nd addon to try to really coherently tie it in with the other storyline, with the flashback dungeon thing.

Honestly, I kinda miss the days when the trolls were crazy shamans or spear-weilding nutjobs, and everything was more racially orientated, when one species appeared as maybe only 2 classes.

By the way, why the fuck is Arthas like 12 foot tall?

Possibly my dislike of WoW is because, at the time it was released I was an utter fanboy and drooling over the thought of being a Taruen, running around and smacking people with my hooves, and thus had pre-ordered it 3 months before its release date. And then was sorely disappointed at the end result. Being naieve as I was at the time, thinking that the trailers were in some far-fetched way a representation of the real thing. Which turned out to be more like the first Fable, with big feet, hands and heads, and a general feel of cartoony-ness, rather than a serous attempt at a game based on such an epic storyline.

I don't even play WoW any more, so I'm not really a fan of it as a game, I'm a fan of the UoW (that's Universe of Warcraft) though.

Yeah, I originally (before the game came out) wanted to play as a Necromancer, alas the class wasn't included. I think it's a bit silly that all races can be DKs, all but one warriors etc. There should be a balance over the factions, but there should be more classes like the Druid which only one race per faction can be.

My only guess is to make it so you can see him when you eventually fight him.

I guess the difference (for example having Death Knights that aren't Undead) is due to the fact that WoW is set 3 years (I think) after WC3, so a lot has changed in that time.

I think an MMO based on Jade Empire could work too. Everybody learning different martial arts moves, and trying to best each other would work wonders for a PvP arena.
Yes, I'm a Bioware fan.
You, sir, have fantastic taste....
Being made by BioWare is the ONLY thing that could tempt me into an MMO. To this point, I have managed to avoid MMOs like a dripping case of ebola...but Old Republic has me so....tempted!!!
(And Jade Empire would be like actually waving the crack pipe under my nose...)
And now to destroy all credit and credibility i may have gained through my 218 postings on this forum, but I actually enjoyed Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. My main whinge would be that sometimes the difficulty curve gets screwy with monsters and bosses, and my other whinge would be the story lacked a bit, but apart from that, i quite enjoyed it. (That and the fact it was on the DS) *shudder*

AVP MMO? srsly.
I pray that never happens. I love playing as the marines single player campaign and shitting my pants when my torchlight goes out. MMO would destroy that sense of dread.

star trek universe where you can actually explore planets instead of being in the ship all the time and play as ALL the species shown in all the series.

I'm still waiting for a Warhammer 40,000 MMOFPS with the massive scale and warfare Planetside once had. Hell, if you want to make things even crazier, you could put players in command of small AI squads.

YES!

Not many people I know have even heard of Rifts or the Megaverse. A Rifts MMO never crossed my mind.

Brilliant.

New Lazlo for the win!

The DK thing is explained, but the idea they came up with for the reason for all the DK's was kinda stupid (I'm gonna make cannon fodder to draw out a SINGLE enemy!)[/quote]

He's not 12 feet tall. He only looks it in a few shots because he's an illusion. When he shows up (I've seen him... four times in leveling) he's about the size of a standard human. Problem is that they've made him seem impotent in the gameworld.

WoW is set three years after War3, BC is another two years after that, and Wrath 2 years after that. So from the first killing of Ragnaros to the killing of Yogg-Saron (the current end boss) is a span of 4 years.

As for the DK's not being undead, Arthas is technically still alive in Warcraft 3's undead campaign. Wrath really turned up the story compared to it's predecessors. There are a few questlines that are friggin sweet (wrathgate, dk start zone, and Mattias Lehner quests), but overall it's slwoly loosing it's character gameplay wise (to me).

So I'm probably gonna swap to Champions when it comes out, and see if that grabs me. If not... I donno.

Also, a Battletech MMO would be interesting. A Bleach MMO sounds like it's actually doable... the two factions being Hollow and Shinigami, with "prestige" classes being Vizard and Arancarr (or however it's spelled)

There's a fanmade Pokemon mmo. It's pretty shitty though. You'd have to pull it off pretty well to get it to be well received.

Um. I think maybe a gundam mmo. Can't use the later continuity's Gundams either; they're too overpowered in comparison to the majority of mobile suits. Skilling might be an issue in that kind of game though.
Phantasy Star! That'd be interesting. Again, skilling hasn't been done before, but given the futuristic setting I'm sure Sega could come up with something.

Yeah, I agree about the really nice quest lines, a lot of lore about Arthas (as you'd expect) in them, especially in Icecrown. I don't really know about the stuff at the moment because I haven't played in about 9 months I think.

So I'm probably gonna swap to Champions when it comes out, and see if that grabs me. If not... I donno.
What's Champions?
