I agree, I think theres a huge amount of potential in a prehistoric mmo, if done right. Ive also always wanted a Resident Evil or Night of the Living Dead MMO.
Taming animals could be a big part of a stoneage game. It could be "realistic" with taming wolves (and breeding dogs as a possible expanded aspect, or not). Same for horses, cattle, and sheep. Training them for work (guard, hunting, and/or labor).
Or a game could go into more fantasy, and tame sabercats and whatever else might fit the game.
Personally, like every other aspect of a stoneage game, I'd prefer a heavy foundation of the realistic, but with some fantasy elements added on top. But I'd also wish for a cost and maintenance so that the coolest stuff isn't "easy", and takes some effort to get and keep. Like searching for and taking a sabercat cub, raising it, training it, and keeping it happy and healthy through game play, so that you could use it in game play. And be a little unique in it.
One of the pvp modes could be Territorial Pissings where you literally all run around the perimeter of your territory urinating against trees until you have a winner.
When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.
I feel cavemen have not been part of our popular culture since flinstones. I seriously wonder why that is (not sarcasm, I don't know why). I don't feel drawn to it in any way personally but neither do I feel drawn to zombies vampires and frankenstein monsters and that shit goes in and out of pop culture all the time.

I like Dracula as in Stoker, I like Frankenstien ('s monster) as in Shelley. Zombies as in Walking Dead and Romero scare the shit out of me.
Buffy, True Blood, Twilight, all that American teen shit where everyone sits around endlessly psycho-analysing each other and looking moody makes me cringe.

I think that would fall under the category of "player created content".

"Relax. Lets have a drink together, shall we?"
You dont want to have a drink with that guy, trust me...

Who is Spike? A vampire? But a nice vampire I am guessing, perhaps tormented by his past miss-deeds which means he can spend endless scenes staring into the middle distance and looking slightly disturbed. And he is also a bit edgy, because he is like a bit of a bad-man, but not too bad, he didn't kill anyone unless they deserved it, so we are allowed to like him.
I've just written a new character for the latest American teen nonsense. They can have that one for free.

Too transparently easy, sorry ya'll.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

That actually sounds like an awesome competitive mini-game. You might have meant it as a joke, but that'd actually be pretty cool if done right.

A Flintstones MMO would have been amazing. I don't want them to make one today, because they'd just ruin it, but it's still an amazing thought. Flintstones was the second best cartoon ever made, after all. And, the setting and atmosphere, with their stone houses and dinosaurs, would be fun to play in.
