He-Man + Thundercats + Robots?
I'm not entirely sure how you can go wrong.

F is inviting you to start Quarto. Do you want to Accept (Alt+C) or Decline (Alt+D) the invitation?
You have accepted the invitation to start Quarto.

With all the other 80's stuff making a comeback, Thundar needs to return in a big way. And dammit the world is so rich in possibilities!

joking aside a post-apocalyptic setting where humanity is reduced to swords and sorcery and technology is it's own sort of strange magic? hell yes.

I'd prefer the FFVI setting than your setting Lakov, alike as they are. Jokes not aside, fuck the 80s were horrible.

Voltron and/or Transformmers would be far superior.

Hi five? FFVI was bar none my favorite console game growing up but honestly as much as I like anime and japanese rpg's i'm just not looking for that style in an mmo, it would just turn into FFXI with a different backdrop. No, the 80's may have sucked but the running theme not just in cartoons but in movies and novels of our world ravaged by technology and war then sent to the dark ages would translate really well into an mmo.

Eh? I meant the steampunk setting with Magic as some sort of outlaw bullshit power crept forth from ancient monsters. Not the animu part.

Voltron would suffer the same problem as STO. You have to hamfist the source to make it a MMO. Transformers would work, but after the movie raped the source, I would have no faith. But a CoH/spore style robot builder, where you could not only choose its style but how it transformed, would be sweet. Thundar would be great. Rifts would be great also, but the owners suck.

Would you kindly produce a web game.

If we're making mmogs from stuff from the 80s, I'll take some of this please...  |

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Meh, if you're going to go for giant robots, go for what FASA borrowed/stole/got unwittingly involved in a scam about - Macross Online! Space combat + transforming robots + giant transforming robots + humanity doing a "Great Leap Outwards" into a universe full of nasty shit (+ jpop).  |

Meh, I love Macross as much as anyone else, but I have yet to see a game faithfully translate the actual Mecha combat of the series into anything fun or useful. It's always a shitty Flight sim with a pointless robot mode that turns you into a floating gun turret, or its a FPS that lets you hover. A BattleTech MMO makes far to much sense, so we'll never see one  All the crap you need to make a MMO is already present, it just needs someone to put it together. We were already half way there with the old Kali Mechwarrior leagues. It could be like DaoC in space, or EVE minus the cockstabbing and plus fun combat.  |

Thundarr: Lords of light!
Didn't they just come out with that? It's called Age of Conan. He-Man is awesome and everything but Conan is pretty close to it. |

Was the point of this thread for Lakov to make up a fantasy (i.e. non-existant) MMO project?  |

You know, this would also make a pretty cool MMO setting:  If you haven't played it, think Shadowrun, but steampunk instead of cyberpunk. Typical Troika game - great design ideas and writing, lousy balance, horrible bugs, little support. Plus, while playing it you learn orcs like tea. |

When schild mentioned FFVI I was actually thinking arcanum, couldn't remember the name though. I'd like a bit more lovecraft with my steampunk however.
What's the point of this thread? You're new to message boards I see, it's ok. ^ MMOG discussion, I'm discussing genres I would like to see explored though I'm sure in a few pages we'll somehow be talking about aoc combat.

And Thundarr was the best 'genre' you could come up with? Oooo-kaaaaay. Let me know when we get to the Space Ghost 'genre'. Besides, it doesn't become fun until we start talking about either Eve drama or SWG NGE. |

I like steampunk looking stuff. I know what Lum means, too. The game was pretty bad but the setting would be cool for an MMO. I don't know what the heck Ratman was shouting about (need coffee?) but that sounds cool, too!

MPBT3025 was my first MMO and EA crushed my dreams in beta. Me too! Me too! and me too again! I spent so much money on Battletech stuff, and we still play it from time to time. Anyway, both Auto Assault and that Fallen Earth could (have been) great, I want them to be great. I don't know, it's probably just nostalgia, but they all fall short of  Guess only Fallout Online could maybe maybe MAYBE do it right. |

My vision of a Battletech MMoG, after giving it about ten seconds of thought:
Three sections to the game:
- a social section
- lance based missions
- full on battles
Run around as your avatar in the social setting, interacting with other people, possibly doing things to improve non-combat related skills. Mechanics, Salvaging, Bargaining, that sort of thing. Spend money, sell salvage, improve your Mech.
Do missions with your own buddies or get assigned to a pickup Lance. You drop in to the planet in your mech, there's a set goal to accomplish. Would be full pvp, if a player drops out, his mech is taken over by AI. Winner is going to walk away with credits and salvage.
Ongoing big battles. Basically, planet wide wars. They pop up periodically as a battle for control of a planet between factions. You drop in with your mech, and start fighting. Might be specific targets to go after, but mainly, just look for the enemy and blow him up. Eventually one side wins the battle and takes control of the planet - might take days overall though. Now you have another planet to do missions on. Might be necessary to have a little outside influence on the game to keep one faction from decimating the galaxy.
Most important detail - no leveling, no combat related skills. You get fame based on your success, you can do missions within your fame level to keep some degree of balance.
Someone make me this game.
