    A Song of Fire and Ice. Not a browser based MMORPG off of Game of Thrones.

    I am still waiting to see Blade Runner get butchered into an MMO. Would give me something to complain about. gogogo.

    MASK because i liked the toys.

    Def best show ever to have such a short life.  As for the MMO I would go with Wheel of Time.

    The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly...or well any western movie.  I wish there was a real western MMO...or Dinosaur Hunter...

    If your going to go western based on an actual book/movie I would go with Tombstone MMO.

    Firefly wasn't that good tbh.

    I keep hearing that Wheel of Time is a great book series and simmilar to Sword of Truth. What makes Wheel of time worthy of MMO awesomeness?

    Also, I would hate to have a great IP butchered by a gaming company, which is why i posted you control who puts it out. Humor us.

     I am not a fan of sci-fi shows, but Firefly was awesome. Worst network decision ever.

    I'm tired of seeing my favorite IPs butchered by horrible game companies trying to make a quick buck.

    And done.

    I would only like Pokemon, because it actually seems to fit, and Mobile Suit Gundam, but with a proper combat system similar to the show. Extremely hard to pull off because of lag, but it would be fu**ing amazing.

    Please list what you feel would be a major success as a MMORPG if you could chose the companies to produce it.

    The only rule is that you have to chose between Books,Movies or a RL event.

    I think the world of Terry Goodlkind, from the Sword of Truth book series would be one of the best worlds to create an MMORPG in. You can have factions, pvp, sieges. I mean you could really go nuts.

    Two of mine are already being worked on, Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time. I also wouldn't mind seeing the Mithgar series turned into a game.

    That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!

    Hmm. I don't even know. I prefer to use original universes because I feel most universes do not convert to MMO format well at all.

    Probably the thing I always wanted was a Star Trek MMO. But not like Cryptic has screwed it up, but in the spirit of the series. Multiple player ships that you can customize, people assigned to different positions (captain, combat, medical, etc.), include all the politics that occur in the universe, have a complex space system, decent implementation of ground activities that are not just reduced to combat (kind of like TSW, maybe?), large explorable planet areas, meh... obviously, a proper Star Trek game is a double game and that's pretty heavy on resources, but it's Star Trek, for God's sake.

    Nothing, IMO. I tried to read it and got halfway through the first book, and nothing whatsoever happens at all and there's nothing to get out of it. Even the characters aren't even remotely interesting...

    There *is* already a gundam online game, abate in SD form (SD Gundam Capsule Fighter). The enviroment and mecha graphics are on the simple side, but the game is fun. It does capture the feel of gundam combat with melee, range attack, sniping, and unit specific special moves.

    Personally i am having fun with the game. Note: It is NOT a proper MMO with a lobby and all instanced PvE missions and PvP areans. It is more like Diablo 3 in concept (graphics/combat of course is different) than a MMO.

    Another game I would like, but based solely on the original movie is Highlander.

    For me that movie was as epic as Star Wars until they butchered the story in the following releases.

    This is a pretty good idea.
    I wouldn't mind a real mafia mmorpg. Maybe even a post apocalyptic zombie mmorpg, with some of that dayZ harshness.

    They are working on a Wheel of Time MMO?!  They better get it right or ill be Sofa King pissed! 

     

    With a Song of Fire and Ice, I'll be assured that my character will die...

    I still think World of Ninja - Naruto style would make an awesome MMO.

    9 Factions and skill that you can start from the Land of your own choice

     

    1 Land of Fire or hidden leaf
    2 Land of Wind
    3 Amegakure
    4 Land of Sound
    5 Land of Water
    6 Land of Lightning
    7 Land of Earth
    8 Land of Iron
    9 Land of Waves 
     

    Pardon my English as it is not my 1st language :)

     I would buy and play a Naruto MMORPG if they made it right. It has all the juicy goodness of an MMORPG with great pvp potential.
