Yea, the movies arent great. But the concept is cool. I just thought a "horror" type MMO would be a refreshing change. Oh, when I say "horror", I do not mean Freddie and Jason type horror. I mean old school horror like "The Wolfman', "Dracula", Creature from the Black Lagoon" type stuff. I mean, a new idea would be interesting, and if it is applied correctly, it would be successful.
me and my friend where discussing this exact topic at work the other day and we belive it wud be the next big thing.imagine a vampire masquarade cross underworld crossed with blade mmo with added elements, it would be amazing! you cud have vampires, lycans, humans (slayers), and any other intersting roles ya can think of populating a large modern gothic city. think of jedi knight academy meets severance blade meets masqurade meets alien v predator meets far cry, that mix surely wud give each race unique attributes and skills. i choose them games due to combat techniques and content. humans or slayers being oblivious, not being able to distinguish who is what in the game untill true colours are spotted, shown, or forced out. relying on weapons, high tec gadgets and old legend techniques to help them survive. vampires relying on uber agility, speed, dexterity, extra senses such as heat vision at nite or be able to stick to walls or ceilings,. lycans being normal humans with human limits untill the call arises when they can decide to change into agile four legged/ 2 legged raging beasts that you just wouldnt want to be around. using extra senses (hearing, smell) brutal strength, explosive agility and sheer intimadation to dispose of threats. modern gothic city eastern europen city settings, rural areas such as forrests, sewers, derelict city quarters, prosperous city centers, the clubs from masquarade, vehicles and true free form playing, no pre determined war...players choose to determine these factors. if a human and vampire want to join and make unholy allaince then they r allowed, any allaince allowed or no alliance or all out war. this is just tip of the ice berg that we was discussing but its gives you that idea of where we was coming from:) and by the looks of things we arnt the only ones begging for this game:D

Sure, it could work...
They could add a straight human class (some how they know about the underworld).
Hehe, if I were playing a lycan I'd be one of those Chinese hairless ones!
If MMORPG's based on amazing movies (example: SWG) can't do well, why would an amazingly stupid and shitty movie like Underworld make a good MMORPG?
I'm sure if Underworld was made into an MMO White Wolf would go apeshit.
Also the game wouldn't have the advantage of Kate Beckinsale in tight black leather to make it worth playing.
I think a horror MMO could be a really good game. I'd kill a person with my teeth for a good MMO based on the Cthulhu mythos.
When people will pay others to play a game for them it might be a sign the game isn't all that fun.
