As the title says, just curious to the opinions on other MMO companies and what you all would like to see(in a perfect world).

Turbine.
In America I have bad teeth. If I lived in England my teeth would be perfect.
Bioware! Close the poll its done.
Good call with Turbine, I can't believe I left them out. Thankfully there's an 'other' category.
NCsoft they r the biggest MMORPG developers in the world they made some of the greatest games on the market.....great minds too.....NCsoft would make a great choice....

PEPSI!!!!!
Get out of your box already...
Bioware.
That, and they know how to listen to their community, fix bugs, and actually release a FINISHED GAME.

Nc Soft cause they actually treat you as a customer and have very polished products.
Some small studio in a 3rd world country who's never even heard of the franchise. Sit them down, show them the original trilogy, then cut them lose.
Bioware. I'm sure they got at least 90% of those 'other' votes.
KotOr ftw!!111one
I agree.
However, I don't see why BioWare would accept. BioWare has no reason to accept to work with LA as it was in the past. And LA can't adapt and change.
Honestly, I think LA should go and try for Net Devils...These guys are great and they are having monetary difficulty after putting out an extremely nice product. LA could feedback Net Devils as they usually feedback their contractors. Auto Assault is prime quality, nobody will argue there. These guys have their tails low and need some alpha direction...which is something LA always does.

NCSoft just makes great games period. So thats my choice. Though Bioware would make a great choice too.
First of all Lucas Arts has enough money and talent to make their own MMO...I just simply dont understand why they would need another big company to mess up their own game...They made many popular single player games that has good quests and stories as it is...My personal favorite was the old Star Wars Tie Fighters or whatever it was called been such a long time (think it was back in the mid 90's) and the Wing Commander series...If I were them I would create my own mmo they have more than enough money to fund thier own game...
In the old says SOE was not that bad.... Then they were like LETS RUNE A GOOD GAME!! To me SWG was never out of beta... You had PRe-cu I am sure of thta most of the people ON MMORPG.com would like to see back.. I agree... Then came the CU.. now here we have them nerfing a little but the game was still somewhat the same and angery fans returned after about a month... the CU I would take if thats all they were willing to give.. THen the much hated and should be blown up by one those people in Iraq. THE NGE... Now not only did they cut the Empire divied out of the title on here and inessance form a NEW GAME thus the other 2 would be beta's because in SOE's mind the game was no finished.... NOW I agree NCSOFT should make the game or even buy the on sorce code for the pre-cu or CU.. Tribine I fear would turn the game into WOW like SOE is doing maybe at a much better game play but still not the same.. I liked Lord of the rings but it was to much like DND and I would flip if I had to deal with a Star wars game Like DND.. There is a reason DnD did not do well
or at least as well as it could have... Now to all who hit the SOE button on the vote... I hope it hurt when it blew up

Yea, i don't really think Bioware's MMOG in development has anything to do with Star Wars.
They said in the past they'll only make games which use their own IPs in the future. Why should they share revenue with someone else anyway, they're good enough to pull it off on their own.
The next SWG MMORPG is already coming out...It's KOTOR and it's coming to XBOX. Should be out in 2008
A) BioWare.
A new company with Raph Koster as Lead Designer, Brad McQuaid as Creative Director, and Sam Johnson as Lead Writer. I'm not kidding. Tom King on the UI, Todd Masten on the music, Paul Barnett as company herald, and Dax Pandhi and Carolina Dahlberg as concept artists.
That, and they know how to listen to their community, fix bugs, and actually release a FINISHED GAME.
Nothing more to say except add my opinion. They are a brilliant team. there lol
Bioware no doubt.
wheres the bioware button....??
Waiting for: Archeage, Darkfall 2.0, and Planetside 2.
R.I.P Shadowbane; The best MMORPG I've ever played...
Check out my amateur gaming blog at: Thegamingbible.com
Bioware.
I'd like to see something from Bungie. They have the best AI in anygame i've seen. Halo and Halo 2. A MMORPG by bungie may be something to wish for. They are a great game developer.
FunCom. Why? Because they learn from their mistakes. They have already built an outstanding SciFi MMO (Anarchy Online) They have an excellent game engine with AOC. They have the resources. And finally, they treat their IP aquisistions with the respect they deserve.
I am afraid i will have to agree with everyone else lol
Bioware for the win....
With the AMAZING job they have done in Kotor.....they easily get my vote.
Other companies i'd include...
Bethesda- did a great job with the elder scrolls. alot of details. Sadly not an MMO.
SOE- Just kidding. they should all be shot. or at least the SWG team. Planetside was good. thats all the credit they deserve...
NCSoft- I still don't get why people like them. Most of the hype is from City of Heroes. While fun at first...its a dumb game. the ONLY good thing is the depth added to character creation. other then that...quest are boring. go to warehouse A and kill X number of Y. OR go to warehouse B and FIND X number of Y. Lets not even talk about lineage..../sigh
Also, while Blizzard is generally a great company. they got to much on there plate. WOW, Starcraft 2. Plus i am certain they are secretly working on Diablo 3. They do a great job making easy to learn games that feel well polished and complete. I just don't think they could handle a game as detailed as SWG 2 would need to be...
just my 2 cents....
