So here I go folks. I'm pretty sure that someone has already said/posted something along the lines of this idea, but here I go. Of any idea for an mmorpg, I'd love to see a mechwarrior one. In essence, a hybrid of Mechwarrior RP and Battletech combat. I think it would be great. Maybe leave it on Solaris, or for military purposes on other planets as well. Taking the rp elements of Mechwarrior (think a mechwarrior themed Anarchy Online) and the huge mech action of the Mechwarrior/Battletech series (Mecwharrior:Mercenaries/Vengeance), one could do both. You could be some hotshot mechjock( earning creds for his/her own mech), a technician (repairing vehicles, including those huge mechs that get shot to hell during a bout), basically anything. For mechjocks (esp on Solaris--for the arena) you could have tournaments, in which case it would go to cockpit view--just like Mechwarrior:Mercenaries. Potential is abundant in so many ways for an idea like such that I could write a couple hundred pages, but well, no
I would just like some feedback, pros and cons, of such an undertaking (and whether or not you'd play something like that). I've thought on this since MMORPG's have been done (yes, even since Ultima Online's beginning days). It just seems to me something that would be H-U-G-E. Oh well, that's enough out of me.
