Brand new Western/Euro 2d mmorpgs

I say western or european because I'm specifically talking about the traditional fantasy RPG, european style, half the mmos I see out there are asian or anime themed and it makes me sick.

I'm curious how many people would like to see more european style fantasy MMORPGs that were fully 2d, but when I say 2d I don't mean super-mario-brothers, I mean like UO. Every tile in the original release of UO was actually drawn one at a time and was done very well, so well that no 2d game has yet to top it and this game is 10+ years old, how many people would be willing to play a fully mmorpg 2d game with graphics better than UO? The laptop I'm typing on can't play any 3d games except ancient ones or horrible ones, so I'm forced to play 2d games and it appears I've already played every single 2d game ever made, so I'm not asking if anyone knows anything because I know, nobody knows, unless they are working on a secret project, I don't like free UO shards they are all the same, they are full of rejects from the real servers with a god complex, even if they were to design the greatest server ever it would still be the same old stuff.

The first time I played UO was in phase 1 beta, it took place whenever the 1997 E3 convention took place whenever that was, mid year, anyway it was amazinly full of bugs but was an amazing game to play, I just love 2d when it's done well and I can only hope more game companies will be looking 4th dimensionally and build more high quality 2d games with the option of playing them on pdas or cellphones of the future, these high end 3d games will likely never see a cellphone or pda unless it were in 100 years.

    I'd play a 2D game as long as it had enough features and wasn't a grindathon.

    If I were to play a 2d mmo I would look for 2 things...

    1) Massive amounts of content

    2) Low monthly fees

     

    That said, I would love a planescape torment or baldur's gate 2d mmo.  That would be fantastic.
