What about a "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" type MMO where a horrible accident has shrunk human civilization and mankind must now fight to survive agiant insects, critters and other predators that would pose a threat to them? Swords, spears, crossbows ect required.
I would make a historical MMO. No dragons or magic, no but maybe one set in the Brittish islands 1066.
Or maybe Scandinavia 10th century, Japan during the Shogun era or maybe a musketeer MMO. There are so many possibilities.
With no swords or shields, then maybe a MMO based on Shadowrun (one not browserbased, but it do have dragons and magic still but together with cybernetics it is still different). Or maybe a dieselpunk MMO, possibly based on "Crimson skies"...
A Call of Cthulhu or Delta green MMO would also be cool...
Seriously Farmville? Yeah I think it's great. In a World where half our population is dying of hunger the more fortunate half is spending their time harvesting food that doesn't exist.
Take Secret world in a different direction and make it more of a combat style game like Tera or DCUO and base it around the concept of the show Supernatural. There ya go...
I can't actually skateboard, but I love games like SKATE. An MMO game built around that would be fun. Just chill with your friends, level up to unlock tricks, participate in both PvE and PvP competitions to earn money to customize your character.

I agree. Why does everything have to be "x game sucks, y game sucks, f2p is stealing our wallets, x developer is evil, y developer is evil "bitch bitch bitch" rinse and repeat.
A little cloud talk is ok from time to time.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
I would make almost exactly what Chris Roberts is making right now. It is like a Freelancer type mmo called Star Citizen. Only I would add X Rebirths' space highway system and station building system. That would be my perfect mmo.
I would make a medieval/renaissance/low fantasy sandbox MMORPG set in a large city. The game, whilst offering exploration, resource gathering and ofc combat would mainly focus on the life in the city.
In the character creator you would select your background and your aspiring trade. These choices would set you up with basic stats and boosts to some of the many skills that the game would offer. These choices would not be set in stone as you would be able to learn any skill (think Runescape and Eve).
You would then be provided with your basic tools of the trade and be on your way in the big city.
As this game would be a sandbox only a few basic NPC buildings would exist, but the land would have a bounty of natural resources, and the perfect, logical place for players to settle. Fertile land would require farmers and the fish would need to be gathered by fisherman, for all players would need to keep food else face penalties over time. The woods nearby would be vital to the construction of buildings and so lumberjack and woodworking skills would be needed as well as players with skills in construction.
When the city had began to establish itself merchants would become common site as unless other player towns became common, it would be the place to make a living. Player run guilds would also fight and squabble over control of resources and conflict may become common.
In short, I can imagine a sandbox, free enterprise game that encourages player built cities (or city) and every skill would have its significance in their maintenance and economic success.
No world chat, just proximity /say /whisper /shout in chat bubbles
No AH
Different race languages, learnable
No leveling, skill based
Many crafting options, but with a skill cap. Meaning if you choose one crafting skill, your max cap would go down for every other craft that goes up. This way dedicated crafters of a certain craft will be the best and make stuff other crafters cannot. Also a slow skill erosion.
World housing, not instanced.
One server
One character
No swords or dragons, but everything else fantasy wise goes

So we could have daggers and Griffens? If so... then what's the point of the no swords or dragons? lol
Papers and Paycheques. It's a great fantasy role-playing game where you pretend to be workers and students in an industrialized and technological society.
id love to see a Deus Ex mmo. I honestly do not see any appeal in any of the ones listed by the OP

I do believe that I would create on with NO JUMPING PUZZLES. God, I hate Donkey Kong. Always have.
Sorry, still personally hunting the creator of my last one with a fire axe.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
The ultimate mmorpg in my mind would include everything as the game already does, in a ridiculously huge sandbox setting:
Rifts
Includes:
- Sci-fi everything including both space ( througout multiple galaxies) and dimensional travel of all sorts.
- Multiple worlds to visit from alternate earth settings, Rifts earth, living planets, home planet of Hades, a superhero planet, etc, etc
- Everything fantasy mixed in with high tech everything from undead empires, pure magic empires, high tech mech empires to everything inbetween. Dozens of factions.
- hundreds of classes, species, 1000's of creatures.
Nobody could do it justice though so best it stays a pen on paper rpg.

I mean that as a mmo, would make darkfall look like a carebear game.

the possibilities are really limitless.
Using a trial and error method.
Had another idea too:
Any of you remember Solar Jetman : Hunt for the Golden Warship back on the NES?
An MMO version of that. Obviously with updated graphics.
Western
Post-Apocolypse, survival
Xsyon with more development.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
Ah, scratch that. Too many bans lately..............
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

Hmm, sounds fun.

Naruto Online = 5 factions
Using With this gameplay from Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm
The combat gameplay alone will makes this MMO outstanding
Check out the combat gameplay below
