What's your license/IP MMO Wish List?

Since it's that time of year here's a Wish List thread. Out of pure curiosity, I wanted to see which IP/licenses people would like to see made into an MMO. Now I'm refering to those IP/licenses that don't currently have any MMOs released or in developement.
So what's your top three to five you'd like to see?
Here's mine in no particular order:
Farscape
Shadowrun
Dune
And to quasi-break my own rule: Planescape (I'm not counting D&D Online becuase it's set in a completely different world)
Also, Fallout would have been on this list but it seems like it might get developed, although the details are still a bit sketchy.
Comments
He-man - MMORPG
Dune - MMORTSFPS
Star-Wars (one done without SOE this time) MMORTSFPS
Wheel of Time series - MMORPG
Starcraft - MMOFPS
Diablo - MMORPG

You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
- unique setting, great potential as a MMO, and certainly a very needed alternative to the current selection of MMOs.
Waterworld -- its a nice concept for a post-apocalyptic game
Dune
Age of Empires -- Now that would be a toughie :P
Land of the Dead
Underworld -- Vampires vs Werewolves !!!
My Brute - Dare to challenge?
Mana(secret of mana, sword of mana, etc.)- don't ask why... I don't have a reason and it would probably be the first MMO on the DS if it was done...
Star Ocean- not like it would be too difficult... maybe thats square-enix's unnamed mmo... I don't know but can hope and since I don't know i can't say it's in development...
Elder Scrolls: I mean seriously... just look at III and IV... they could have been MMOs if the developers had choosen to do so...
and thats about it nothing else i can add to this at the moment
But I wouldn't mind seeing ones made for:
Gamma World
Parania
Top Secret
(some old school RPGs)
Also would be neat for: Aliens vs. Pred, GI Joe, Thundercats, Thundar the Barbarian.

Seiken Densetsu (A.K.A. Secret of Mana series) - if done with the first 3 series in mind, you know the super nintendo ones...The later games sucked..
Pokemon - I know you guys equate it to childish and whatnot, but I think it has alot of potential, because the world setting is different, and alot of cool and different stuff could be done, like better use of AI.
That's all I can think of... I would have only put pokemon, but someone said the secret of mana series, and that game has my favorite "world" out of all the other games.
Star Wars : KoToR -- Same universe without the handcuffs of the galactic civil war. Storylines can develop, jedi and sith are in the game without much of a limit. No iconic characters ( ' ;
D&D Dragonlance -- Yes, st in the War of the Lance, probably very low interaction with the characters. I think it would be amazing to play in this universe.
Call of Cthulhu
Wheel of Time- With a heavy emphasis on global scale politics as well as regular adventuring
Dragon Lance- I just really like how the system is set up to become and study as a Mage
One Piece- PvP heavy, pirate based world.
Naruto- RvR mission based combat. The different ninja villages would get conflicting missions to carry out, which would end in pvp.
Shadowrun!
This game has the best chance at dethroning the success of World of Warcraft. It will likely be a huge hit in the States if it were properly designed and developed.
Fantasy setting: Trolls, Elves and Dwarves are present. You have magic users "Native Americans".
Science Fiction: From implants to hardwiring your self into the matrix when hacking security panels for corporate secrets, it's here!
Corporate Espionage: Work for a pharmeticual corporation and steal secret memo's that detail the intentional release of bio-waste that created the mutations. Learn how the food shortage was staged in order to allow for corporations to profit.
Dragons: These are not just massive warmachines, they are living creatures that have been awakened by the shamans who wish to reclaim their lands. But are they controllable?
Shadowrun would most deffintly make serious headway in the online gaming environment. I would hoep someone with similar vision to what Crowd Control Productions has exhibited with their creation EVE Online would be able to bring this game to life.
Risk Vs. Reward should be the mainstream approach of a game of this calibre. Make it approachable for the basic player while escalating the return of your investment. Grinding would suck. But a corporate based questing system that's as polished would excell.
Death. Your character should not be immune to catastropic failure. While failure should not be crippling it should most deffintly get your pulse going when you know you're characters reputation is on the line.
I want to see an adequetly developed Shadowrun MMORPG!
Hitch Hiker's Guide(book might be a better source material than the movie however...)
Ringu Online. MMORPG. It would be the most scary grindfest ever.
Warhammer 40K - MMOFPS
Dune - MMOFPS (MMORPG could work too)
Shannara - MMORPG
And last, some neutical mmorpgs
Battletech
But that said I really don't want IP based mmos, that just places unnecessary limits on what the devs can and can not do with it.
"Memories are meant to fade. They're designed that way for a reason."
2. Harry Potter MMO- I know its been talked about MANY times but i believe IF done right this could be a very cool mmo. There are different wizarding schools throughout the world so you wouldnt be limited to just hogwarts. Only problem is with the 7th and final book coming out the content might be limited to how much you could stretch the story and not piss fanatics off.
Diablo II. Sure, you can play Diablo II online, but through the years the community has died. But really, if blizzard made a 1st person or close up 3rd person MMORPG of Diablo II, it would be the greatest thing to ever come out. Imagine, walking around a dark maze killing small red people with your group of barbarians, assassians, druids, and an amazon. Then, you come across a giant, brown, wood splintered door. You open the door and are greeted by a giant, four armed demon who spits green poison. (Act I boss.)
Morrowind would also be a good game, I remember playing it for like 20 minutes and thinking, "where is all the community, this is an on-line game, right?" I like the fact that you can attack whoever and take whatever you want.
Speaking of having that kind of freedom, Gothic would also be an amazing MMORPG. Three different factions, old camp, new camp, or sect camp and you are all very seperated except for PvP. Like in World of Warcraft, when horde and allies get the war supplies, the AQ Instance opens. In the Gothic MMO, the first camp to destroy the barrier will have special priviledges in the server.
If I think of more, I'll post it.
10) Toxic Avenger
9) Reform School Girls
8) The Dark Crystal
7) Rambo
6) The Beastmaster
5) Insane Clown Posse
4) The Carebears
3) The Smurfs
2) GWAR!!!
And the number one IP that I want to see made into an MMO....
Girls Gone Wild.
Another thumbs up here for that one.
Also: Blade Runner.
Land of the Giants, or Planet of the Apes. Two series I completely enjoyed when I was younger.
