    Warhammer for sure

    In existing games, maybe reroll WoW back to WotLK character development and Ulduar raid model, but keeping all the other advancements made since then.

    Otherwise...

    The game: Ultima Worlds Online: Origin, aka Ultima Online 2 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_Worlds_Online:_Origin ).
    What I would change: Make it happen.

    I ignored a rule here because there's no other game I'd want to bring back.
    If it weren't for the OP's rule, I'd have said WoW 2.2.

    Ultima Online pre trammel with new graphics. That is the only game I would like to play

    Maybe its the care bear in me but I just did not find getting slaughtered constantly fun.....I mean you couldn't even leave Brittain without higher skilled players grouping and killing every noob within a hundred miles....I'm sorry that is the last game I would play.

    Rubies of Eventide - best class system ever...Just needed the combat to be fixed

    Easy.  Vanguard.  The best game that nobody played.  One thing I would change would be to add to development time before it was released.  That game had so much potential, and to me, would have been by far the best MMO to date.

    I'd bring back whatever would make the most money, the one aspect I would change is that all payments go into my bank account. 

    Yes I am joking - but it's hard to take this post seriously - any powerful organization would laugh at the thought of spending money on a failed game project.

    You mean like Square Enix? :p


    Anyways my mentions are CoX (City of Heroes/Villians) and Tabula Rasa, both with updated graphics.

    Tell me this doesn't make you tear up CoX fans!

    Any mmo worth its salt should be like a good prostitute when it comes to its game world- One hell of a faker, and a damn good shaker!

    Vanguard - with a studio behind it that actually gave it support.  Instead of buying it when it was in trouble, and then putting it on a shelf and letting it rot.
  • DarkVagabondDarkVagabond Member UncommonPosts: 340
    Auto Assault with the last eight years of free-to-play know-how
  • Ren128Ren128 Member UncommonPosts: 73
    Warhammer with 3 factions (I've never played the desktop game but I think orcs & goblins were separate faction from Chaos?).

    Tabula Rasa also. Liked the beta but for some reason didn't play the game when it went live (can't recall why sorry). There needs to be more Sci-Fi MMOs imho.

    Kyleran:  "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."

    John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."

    FreddyNoNose:  "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."

    LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"

    Archeage NA Alpha - before the cash shop was added! (and of course pre-cu SWG!)

    AA is not eligible according to OPs rules. 
    So much for not taking it seriously.......lol.

    Bring Trion or AA in it and it's on! So funny.
    Hey guys, just wanted to say, what I posted is simply a guideline, its ok to make suggestions contrary to what I posted in the rules, its really just there to exemplify the idea that these games we used to love could be brought back and changed and maybe stand a chance in the modern MMO market. 

    So far the two most common games I have seen are SWG and COH. Im dissapointed about SWG because no one suggested the one change I would make:

    EWOKS AS A PLAYABLE RACE! :)

    Warhammer Online.

    If Iwas to bring it back as it was when it closed, and could change only one thing about it, it would be to add a proper Free To Play model (selling exp/renown boosts and cosmetics) instead of the lame 1-15 endless trial Mythic had. 
  • AntiquatedAntiquated Member RarePosts: 1,415
    Wonder why the op felt he needed to limit the field so much.

    I'd bring back Hellgate: London.
    Change one thing: Everything.

    (Seriously, no, don't. Please?)
  • fs23otmfs23otm Member RarePosts: 506
    The OP's limitations are silly... 

    That being said, Give me a rebooted Vanguard, just increase the performance

    Warhammer i guess.. never got around to try it out.. looked pretty cool though.

    I had fun once, it was terrible.

    World of Darkness.
    Things to change: get it done.
  • ZoeMcCloskeyZoeMcCloskey Member UncommonPosts: 1,372
    The obvious, SWG and never put out NGE or Jedi in any shape or form.

    But I would say Fallen Earth and make it so you can't be an Omni-crafter.  Part of what killed that game imho is that no one had to communicate or trade with anyone else for anything.  In a post-apoc setting it would have been great to have been somewhat forced to interact and be dependent on each other.

    So many great choices. SWG, Vanguard, Warhammer and Ultima Online 2.

    though I would really have to go with World of Darkness.

  • RidrithRidrith Member RarePosts: 859
    Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online.

    I'd have done anything to see this game and the finished product.  Vigil games was fantastic as was THQ.  I'm still sad that they're gone.
    I like to complain about games.
  • punkindonutspunkindonuts Member UncommonPosts: 13
    Warhammer, I would finish all of the missing content and then look to get a 3rd faction into the game. at least there is the  WAR emulator up and running if u know where to look
