    I agree on the horror theme, but something ala chtulhu stories, SP 1 does a similar thing but I heard it's a typical korean grinder with just the "horror" theme and that's it, could be wrong tho

    but one thing they should STOP USING FOREVER it's both asian and anime kiddy ******ed style, I'm ****ing sick of those

    Horror MMORPG in a town that has lots of mist and its also a FPS, you can level up you can increase your skills defend mobs, add attribute points take cover behind walls and all that stuff but its a MMORPG...that would be epic.

    They should do a game with nowdays weapons... not swords, axes...bow and arrow..

    They should make a MMORPG with guns and bombs...

    Classes divided like Pistol user, Machinegun user, Shotgun user, rifle user, scout user....

    Swords, Axes, Bows, Knifes, Hammers, Wands...

    Every game looks like the other...


    They should make a MMORPG with Fps features.. and no futuristic like laser guns, real guns.. ..

    theres one very close to this what you said it was called ww2 online know it called battleground europe. its basicaly mmofps becouse its 1 map the map is as huge as europe is in real life its litteraly take you the same amount of time to travel across that map as it would to travel across europs map.allied vs germans has huge towns more then 5x bigger then any town in any mmorpg and its basicaly like having all the equipment you had in ww2 all the types of tanks,planes,boats,aa,at,and transport vehicles all the vehicles when you use them are like there own simulator its awsome. once 1 side take the whole map over ussualy takes month or way more depends how the battle goes then map starts over. all your kills stats are recorded forever.

    dont want to argue with you but its much more then just another fps its not server based iether.its the closest thing to ww2 you can get on a game yea its a mmofps becouse its more then 500+ people on 1 server.and you rank up in this game allowing you to use other vehicles things. all the ranks are real military ranks.

    requiem is pretty close to our time . actually looking to the design of house and etc they do actually look close to our age and not fantasy genre . So id say Requiem is close to urban/science fiction mmo with gory features

    Do you kill each other or do you kill Monsters and bosses, do quests, and grind, while holding guns?

    If you kill each other, than its just another fps.

    horror and i mean survival mmo type horror the ways in which companies could use this to their advantage is just crazy.... i always wanted to try capcoms resident evil outbreaks online but purchased a copy well after the servers shut down (for what reason i really dont know) but yeah survival horrors with nice next gen graphics bla bla bla would be awesome i really hope capcom try something like that again

    the problems is : will people actually play it ? will there be a high enough popularity ? that why there not much of those games people tend to stick with the fantasy genre ex: WAR(coming soon) , WoW , Rohan etc. Im not putting requiem in this list its closer to urban like i said but w/e.

    so yeah they think its a risk to launch a new theme mmo to the market.

    Someone said Horror... that would be an interesting one but not sure how it could be implemented well. BUT I totally agree and hadn't even thought of it until someone said so.
    My other choice is more games like Eve, the SciFi that involves ships and more something not just scifi theme but actually scifi completely.

    Well, but it must be a real HORROR game... Not like a standard MMORPG just like all other but with a gore enviroment.. like requiem.

    Yup. It's all about the sound effects, the music, the mood of the game. I think that in order for a MMORPG to be really scary, it MUST have a First Person interface, seriously. I mean, not knowing what is lurking behind you? Hearing footsteps or dripping sounds on your back while exploring a dark hallway with just a flashlight? Now that's real horror. Heck, the monster's don't even need to be all mutated and with 104 eyes and tentacles to be actually creepy.

    what they need to do is make a horror fps mmo......not like tabula rasa or faces of mankind but something where you play in fp perspective but you can change it to 3rd person and the game takes place in several countries in the world.....so you go around town meeting people(actual players and npcs) get certain quests, then you and the people that are exploring together go do the quest....the quest will be instanced so that way they can focus on better questing......now during a quest the gameplay will be similar to re4 or condemned 2 just with other people...and the areas would be huge so that way they would require you to split into groups to explore the area then youd be able to use a headset on the pc to talk through an in game walkie talkie.......man that would be full of win

    Agree on Survival/Horror as well. I kind of want a MMO where you just shoot zombies for the sake of human survival or something... (and it has to be WAY better than DarkEden , just make it FPS) whatever. lol. Just shoot or cut crazy scary stuff similar to in Resident Evil with any weapons we possibly can think of.

    Hmm.. genre using American Revolution period isn't really that exploited either. The closest game I can think of is Sword of the New World. Somehow they never make games where you get rifles/pistols that need to get reloaded after every shot or something =p. That combined with fantasy game should be pretty nice.

    Hmmm.. genre using Jurassic Age or whatever? We don't really have a game that has a dinosaur theme somehow; not even Jurassic Park Online. I thought dinosaurs are pretty popular? lmao The closest I can think of is Stone Age 2?

    I always wanted a sci-fig game where you can be a as small as a fighter pilot to as big as a carrier or battleship commander; and the game should play somewhat like a combination of MMOFPS + MMORTS. Perhaps something like X3: Reunion series but instead make it MMO? Not to mention, there are not enough MMO that you can travel outer-space freely (if at all), to be honest =/.

    Oh, also modern age genre. Not the FPS modern combat theme, but gang fight theme where you just be a normal gang member, or own lands, build stuff, recruit thugs, fight the other gangs, etc. There was one really old game called Nage or something that has that kind of theme, but I think that was it. Looking for something similar to GTA but MMO version. Hmm.. is GTA 4 MMO or what?


    So yeah. I probably don't have the best ideas around (if not the worst anyway); just kind of pointing out what kind of game themes I feel are lacking in the MMO market.

    I guess it would be really hard to create a horror/survival MMORPG, since the normal survival/horror game example "Doom,Fear etc" is kinda successful since you are alone which makes it more scary. How would you like to play a horror game with 500people with flashlight walking thru a creepy tunnel feels, den you alone walking thru it with the same conditions. Anyway thats my opinion.

    I have yet to see a MMORPG with 500 people on the same place. A large map or a player limit on the server would pretty much fix that.

    Multiplayer horror would not work, Zombie mmos will because no one is scared of them anymore they are a staple of FPS and MMOs now.

    Take system shock 2, its creepy when your alone, but with a friend its not creepy at all.
