What would be an awsome new IP to explore for a MMORPG

As the title states, there are so many, but I would love to see a Naruto mmorpg, although the little kiddes may make it hell.

Gamma World.
Yeah, Gamma would be pretty awsome. I think I still have that some where. Never got to play it with friends though. Suprised the NWN modders never touched it.
Zombie/Infection survival mmorpg.

What about an old western MMO? Red Dead Redemption had good reviews and people were entralled with a size of the game world and the objects within it. Makes me believe it might be a decent change from the Fantasy/Sci-fi genre.
i would also think a old west style game would be good as well. maybe an old west / fantasy mix or old west /sci fi mix. but for an ip would love to see a real Star Trek mmo in the making not the crap cryptic gave us.
Harry Potter. Might not be the perfect match for the mmorpg.com crowd, but I'd guess it would be a huge success.
A Disc World MMORPG would just be awesome (if done right)
Star Craft, with three factions, not any alliance or exclusion bullshit. You can play as one of the three, and have some good old fashioned PVP, with obvious good PvE as well.
one created from scratch. if you've noticed the trend of MMO's using popular IP's, they don't really last
I have always thought an MMO created in the Samurai Jack universe would be great.
Playing: PO, EVE
Waiting for: WoD
Favourite MMOs: VG, EVE, FE and DDO
Any person who expresses rage and loathing for an MMO is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.
Battletech
Mechwarrior
DAoC 2
Kingdom Hearts
Metal Gear Solid
Assassin's Creed (Brotherhood with more than 4 players
Jester Outfit ftw!)
Supreme Commander
Diablo
Starcraft
Warbirds (so many memories!)
Napoleon: Total War
Shogun: Total War
Empire: Total War (any of the Total War games really)
I'd like to see a Middle Earth MMO done right, where not everyone goes through the exact same instanced story. "Hey my character met Aragorn!" "Yeah, mine too!" "Oh wait, we all did, its mandatory! And we just HAPPENED to see the Fellowship several times!" This isn't a bloody singleplayer game.
Aside from that, Wheel of Time would be great.
I'd like an MMO set in England's Dark Ages too, or just DAOC 2, but I'd love to see a realistic, grim, medieval England, with realistic looking chain/scale armor, plate on knights that doesn't have massive shoulderpads.
Do Shadowrun already. It could be epic.
Dune ticks all the right boxes, but is rather obvious.
But what about The Prince of Nothing:

Brilliant books which would make a great setting.
considering the zombie fad at the moment, I am very surprised no zombie mmorpg has been made. I mean it would make sense. Although I suppose it does require guns, and not the huge array of fantasy abilities.
A new company, Undead Labs http://undeadlabs.com/, is working on a Zombie MMO. They have a few developers from ArenaNet on their team.
Avatar...
The Last Airbender. Similar to LotRO in that there's a main story/protagonists, but also plenty of unexplored/untouched areas and room to make your own character. Although with the utter failure of Shyamalan's travesty... I mean movie... I don't know if any major company will pick it up. If the new mini-series based on the IP coming in 2011 does well, they may look into it. I just hope it's not catered towards "kids"; Avatar is something even some parents enjoy, so please, don't dumb it down.
Something more likely to happen? Hmm... I don't know. For sci-fi, they've done Star Wars and Star Trek, maybe Battlestar Galactica? TRON!?!??!!?!? I'm sure if the remake does well, they'll consider it... didn't someone make a Mummy MMO? Y'know, The Mummy? If they can do that, they'll do anything.
Shadowrun

The Night's Dawn Trilogy...
Room for Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Modern Day, Space Exploration, Quests, Sandbox, Politics... completely epic..
Hasn't this thread been done about twenty times in the last week?
Blade Runner.
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
Judge Dredd.
Dark Sun.
This might be obscure, but the Chanur saga by CJ Cherryh.
Currently bored with MMO's.

use to play the pen and paper 1 when i was a kid
