I dont want to play the next big mmorpg as the really big ones all tend to be the same.. basically a themepark clone and its not my type of game.

The only mmorpg I am looking forward to at the moment is The Repopulation, I expect that to have strong player numbers but it wont be for everyone so I dont expect to see big numbers like wow.

But for sake of discussion, what type of game would you like to see become big?

 

Failure or not. Thats in the eyes of the beholder (well and the developers/producers, but we will leave them out of this for the time being )

What I wish is for FFXI to be good again....Combat was good if you knew how to gear swap.  Grind with quests that actually meant something and/or gave you stuff important for specific classes. Heavily people dependent which did bring people together from a social aspect but people can view that as positive/negative. All around, pre-abyssea, it had alot of life in it. Most importantly was the gear system. There wasn't a gear score, items were good because the stats were, it didn't really matter the level. For example, for the longest time, the peacock charm was the best neck piece for dps, which is what games should be about, the stats, not the item level etc. Now the game is trying to be like wow which is sad, but at least SE is stubborn so you wont see the game shutting down anytime soon unless they integrate more jobs into XIV, like the 22 that XI has.

i fear that there will be no 'next big mmo'. at least not from the big companies, a too high financial risk. eqnext might be the last for some years. and for the sake of your discussion .... i want a swg clone with some additional features and of course a better grafic.

Muke

100% sandbox

multiple 'career' directions instead of just fighting.

1 big server instead of 1000 'realms' with a population cap.

exploration

no portalling to other sides of the map, I prefer manual travel

open PVP

no instance/lobby based game

steep learning path, no spoonfed game

prefer sci-fi instead of the usual naked elves in miniscule armor.

Caldrin

Well myself I like big open world games with full loot pvp, player run econamy, player housing, guild city building and so on..

Basically a full on Sandbox game..

 

But that is not to everyones taste so i know it would never be the next big mmo..

Sounds a lot like Darkfall 1, which at one point in time was the big new mmo around this forum.

 

versulas

Scifi space mmo with decent ground combat that allows the boarding of enemy ships (individual, guild, PUG mercenary) to fight for control. It'd also be nice if they didn't make the assumption that its players are only going to pvp or pve, but God forbid they think of doing both.

ldhenderson1995

A good version of Firefly. Not the garbage version they are working on presently.

PioneerStew

A sci-fi FPS/TPS mmo.  I would like a persistent world with (mainly) ground combat but also air/ orbit combat.  

There would be no traditional levels (rather other goals including skils, aesthetics, crafting, trade, achievements etc) and the whole map would be usable by everyone all the time rather than 90% of the lower level zones becoming redundant after a month (or level scaling which only serves to render levels pointless).  

The map would avoid the irritating trivial little tasks filling every corner and rather be large, immersive and open for exploration.  There would only be limited fast travel and this would be via real time transport ships (no teleporting).        

A lot of the questing would be via exploration, gathering, building and just assisting around different PVE factions rather than !/?.  Where there are specific quests they would need to be sufficiently interesting to warrant the rail-roading rather than hundreds of kill x of y.   

PVP would be open world with specific areas tailored for it, but it would be opt-in (unless there were pvp servers of course).  

They are probably the salient features I would like to see.

I would like to see an MMO that does its own thing. I believe that part of the reason many MMOs are alike is they attempt to be all inclusive. I am not saying MMOs should be elitist. I think that new MMOs need to pick one or two things they excel at and let other games handle what they decide not to. The reason MMOs get to feeling the same is they want to offer something for everybody. The ones that manage that are okay in most areas, but are not the best in any single aspect when compared to other games in the genre.

It would probably be too much to hope for a tactical pet-capturing MMO.  Even courtable NPCs seem like too much to ask from the current MMO industry.  But something with an original fantasy world which DOESN'T have elves, dwarves, demons, angels, werewolves, vampires, an epic war, or a gritty crime-torn setting would be lovely.  Something that didn't allow players under 16 would also be great.

I want it to be something that attracts all the entitled gamers and PvP kiddos, so me and my friends can keep enjoying our niche games in a healthy atmosphere free of them.

Shaigh

I want the next big MMO to be a different experience than the themepark MMO's we have had in the last 10 years, but no idea what that would entail.

 

If I would design my own MMORPG it would be the following: 

• Steampunk or cyberpunk
• Action-combat without auto-aiming
• Regular action bars instead of the limited action bars
• There would be a medic-role
• How about 5-faction PvP
• Removal of the 40/50/60/80/100 levels and replace it with something different
• Create an experience that would make you focus on the game world instead of just being a grind in instances.
• No singleplayer story
• No voice-over for tasks

Really, I am tired of "The next big MMO."

When will the next SMALL market MMO release. One that does not aim to please everyone or even the vast majority of players. When will the next MMO that aims for 300k-500k "like-minded" players release?

These "big MMOs" released these days accomplish one thing: Box/Cash Shop Sales.

It has already come for me, and it is Firefall. It's the second coming of Tribes, so there, haha.

Seisuke

I want the next big MMO to be a RPG...

 

No NPCs, no Quests, no Raids and no information other than my own few skills and stats.

I want a big world meant to be explored and I want it to be dangarous.

I want that anyone who dares to go into a dark forest at night, with nothing but a rusty sword, to be ripped apart by a pack of wolfes.

I want to experience the thrill of walking into an abandoned mine and run for my life if I end up being chased by a six foot spider with venom dripping from its fangs.

I want it to be an achievement when I manage to forge a battleready longsword.

 

I do not want to ride a rollercoaster or take a walk in a haunted house.

Nor do I want to play in the sand.

 

I just want to experience an exciting adventure with a few of my friends...

I hope to never see another extremely popular mmorpg ever again.  Not because of the popular game itself though, I dread the 50 copy cat games that will release in the years following.

DamonVile

I want it to be a 100% true sandbox. I want to see what happens to people once they actually get to play the type of game they've been asking for. I also enjoy the suffering of others though....
