i think I read an article with JMS when he was talking about his new straight to dvd B5 movies.

It wasn't clear if it was going to be an MMO or just an stand alone RPG.

B5 MMO? I like B5, but I am not sure about playing an MMO. I mean, wouldn't everyone be a Vorlon or Shadow?
I'd assume those races wouldn't be playable. Telepaths would be overpowered also.

A skill based sci-fi MMO, would have to be different than Eve or even whatever STO will end up being like.

Here is another link, but it is still speculation:

Ive played many mods of Babylon 5. You usually play something like Human, Narn, Centauri or one of the non-aligned worlds. Races like the First Ones or Minbari or even telepaths would not be playable for the reasons you just stated. And it would be neat to have the JMS touch on a sci-fi MMORPG. I could do with a little more realism.
Could be like a combination of Seed and Hostile Space MMORPGs as far as mechanics goes, a very very very updated Hostile space, but still, very do-able.
