I guess stupid lazer beams wouldn't make this poll biased would it?

For some reason sci fi never seems to cut it.
When AO came out I was so excited about it because it was a real change of setting but alas it never did it well and the rest sci fi mmorpg after it been getting worse .
One can only hope for a good sci fi mmorpg.
don't blame the suckiness of AO on sci fi oO
There are plenty of popular sci fi games. In fact for a lot of people, having people arbitrarily running around spitting fireballs from their hands is rediculous and completely unbelievable.

I'm more of a midevil type player, but AO isn't that bad. The only problem I used to have with it was the pet pathing, but now that it's been mostly fixed it a pretty god game. Just don't try to find a group in omni entertainment, it's a ghost town since everyone is in the shadowlands

LOL I'm supprised Kriminal didn't try to logicly argue why scifi is better than fantasy...
No serriously folks, I just don't think it's been done right yet, personaly I htink scifi would be excellent if done like shadowrun. The so named Cyberpunk Genra of game. Gives you large cites, plent of pvp optoins, and a stupid amount of missions, however I don't think this will ever happen. Still when you get right down to it, it's really just personal prefrance.

Sci-fi...it can be nice but, the main troubles is the SCIENCE they need to relly on(as opposed to magic)!
Yes yes, those uber folks find new stuff and make any *future* game obsolete in a year with new science facts that need to be respected and obviously where not, since at the time, nobody knew.
Medieval...we all know the physics laws that we need to know about sword, catapults and all...and magic is plainly magic and from the start everyone agree that it is...magic!
Tolkien work dont suffer much from sciences discoveries. Dunes, Star Trek or Star Wars on the other hand...
Medieval is a safe start...and for some reasons, we all dreams of those. Not of Antiquity or Renaissance, just of medieval stuff...hard to explain or rationalise...Probably have a lot to do with our western history, the in fighting, great dangers, chivalry...religious fanatisms...those are all strong emotions. You add fantasy and you complete it just fine and please folks.

Being a big Dues Ex fan and Shadowrun fan, I have to say...
I DON'T CARE!
Just get me one or the other :P

PS: That was throughly unintellegent wasn't it.
My hope for a good sci-fi MMOG is Fallen Earth ( http://www.fallenearth.com/ ).
Neocron had a cyberpunk feel, but that's about it. Didn't like some aspects very much. SWG got boring after six months. Only Anarchy Online stands out, in my opinion.
Currently playing:
* City of Heroes: Deggial, Assault Rifle/Devices Blaster. Server: Defiant.
* City of Villains: Snakeroot, Plant/Thorns Dominator. Server: Defiant.
I think laser beams and all that stuff brings real life to MMORPG and my view of MMORPG is to make you feel like your in another world
That is why think Asheron's Call is going down hill. They started puting in presents, suits, and fishing. I think that is too much into the real world
