The newest MMO idea.

Since we all know sword and Board fantasy is here to stay and there seems to be a bit of futuristic FPS style MMOS here or around the corner, which new idea do you think will take hold.

Here are a few of the ones i would like to see:
A. Western themed mmo.
b. 17th Century mmo (Sort of dueling with rapiers)
C. X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter mmo (Upgrade your Tie!)
D. Kung Fu hand to hand mmo.
These are 4 off of the top of my head that if implemented right could be very fun. I think there are too many games using prelicensed material that get hamstrung by lore and whatnot and aren't using full creative capability. Either that or the are so afraid of being formulaic that they cannot or willnot do something new.

    As much as I enjoy the fantasy theme and am looking forward to checking out Vanguard and Aion, I like the near-future military theme and both Huxley and Tabula Rasa have me intrigued.

    If that is the kind of thing you want in games then the console is defenitely for you my friend.

    You seriously misunderstood what i said. Why would i want to do something like that on a console? this is mmorpg.com after all. I'm just talking about a fresh new take on the old rehashed-one thousand times fantasy setting.

    I don't think having a console feel to an MMO is that bad. PC's are far more flexible when it comes to adding on controllers. For example, I just started playing SWG (I know, inspite of all the flaming about NGE) and I find the twitch based space combat using a flight joystick is kind of fun. As long as it is challenging. Although I might have to switch to auto-aim later, it's fun for now. I also think FPS would be excellent in a sci-fi type MMO. I'd even add some of these ideas as mini-games just to test the waters and see how much MMO players like them.

    There are plenty of MMOs where you control your ship with a joystick as the option. Vendetta online, Jumpgate.

    As for option C, It would be nice though it needs to be 100% original rather than seeing X-Wings and Ties.

    For those on the foot FPS mmos, I thought there were plenty of those(see Neocron, Planetside).

    I would love to see a present time MMOFPSRPG. Something like a civil war with mercenairies, freedom fighters, criminals and dictator guards. A jagged alliance mmo. ;)

    Jagged Alliance 2 is one of my favorite games! I can't tell you how many times I've played that thing.
