As we all prepare to take the weekend off (don't worry, we have loads of features prepped through Friday), it's time for a little exercise in wishful thinking. If you could have any one thing in the MMO world, from a new game to an old game, or anything in between, what would it be?

Read the full story here


Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    I'd like a new system. I can't play half of the new games coming out because of my (seriously lacking in "Oomph") laptop. It was given as a gift, after a fall, and while it's appreciated it's still cereally weak for online games.

    I would like Pantheon to be the game I thought mmo's would be.

    Otherwise, give me Vanguard back.
    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    Nice pic Bill, I went from here to the column because of that (cool book, especially for an '80s - '90s fan :wink:  too bad it's US & Jap focused for the early '80s, consoles never were big over here... the other hints and references are great. Btw, the game called Oasis there.)

    So, mmorpg christmas wish... nothing, I'm fine (or just lucky :wink: ). Maybe more time. But I'm perfectly fine with the games I'm playing, and there's not a single one on the 2016-2017 list that peaks my interest (maybe SotA, but even that is more like curiousity than anticipation)

    I somewhat agree with Sovrath and Paragonian above, getting back a cancelled game would be a nice wish - but then I'd have even less time for the rest of the games of mine each :lol:

    Your wish in the column... dunno. It would take way too much time from life itself :wink: also I like the privacy, like to have countless alts, like to hop around games - none of those is possible with Oasis (and the same applies to SAO, great story but I'd rather not live and play it). Plus, I don't like VR, if it's a simulation I'd prefer a Holodeck-kinda solution (Trekkie here :wink: ), where I'm aware of the surroundings and not just laying on the bed with a VR goggle, or wearing a full haptic outfit like Wade.

    Nice picture of the stacks. I've heard they are making a movie out of that book, hope it doesn't suck.
    As to what I want, other than a Ready Player One movie to not suck, for the #$%^^#$ advertisers to stop calling MOBAs RPGs.

    Lost my mind, now trying to lose yours...

    Steven Spielberg is gonna be directing Ready Player One, awesome book

    I'd be down with Camelot Unchained being in beta.  I was a huge fan of vanilla/SI DAoC, and a huge fan of Mark Jacobs..  It's a wish more than a want, though.  I'll happily follow along with CSE's updates as they come.

    Many MMORPGs have been created in the name of innovation, and completely failed because of it.WoW was the definition of the mmorpg especialy untill the end of WOTLk, thats from where companies should start to make an improived WoW.

    There are 2 aspects incrdibly important in my opinion

    1:) Socialising, MMORPG's lately dont even bother enhancing the teamwork and fun being with others except the aspect of the raid/instances which is pretty formal and has come to a point that it is like our daily job.The leveling experience needs to get harder so people will group up a lot more

    2:) Individuality. Make people feel different, thatrs actually 1 of the definition of playing an RPG wether mmo or not, played Skyforge yesterday and even though game was ''cute'' with nice enviroment and Ui i quicly noticed there was no variation in armor and weapons.ANd people are saying why WoW is stil the ebst , when from levels to 1-60 u had different armor/weapon variations(thousands) asu leveld up, it was rewarding and satisfactory

    Maybe that's why the "to not suck" wish, Spielberg is not the same as he was 20 years ago :lol:
    And I wouldn't say awesome, don't get me wrong, it's a cool book, but only because the setting (online game plus all the pages are stuffed with references for the golden ages) is like a geek's wet dream - it was a good read, I've played through Zork again after reading the Jade key issue...

    But, if you look beyond that, it's just one of your average book from the late hip YA trend, saving the already wrecked world from the corrupt evil conglomerate, just like those hungry divergents who're running through the maze under the twilight :wink:

    I agree completely.

    I want an MMORPG that immerses me like the good ol' days where I'm nigh addicted. I'm either getting too old for this genre or the genre is severely lacking lately.

    An everquest next presentation where they end with the words, you can download it now and all we have spoken of exists within the game. The year of everquest next has been a huge disappointment.

    About your second wish, don't bother. UO is not the game it used to be. It would need a full systems reset to the pre-AoS time with the graphics overhaul to be even remotely interesting.
