Believe it or not I think Fate would be good MMO. It is by Wildtangent, was translated into over a dozen different langauges and sold millions of copies. I think it was the true inspiration for Torchlight, there were no pets in Diablo. Give it a third person perspective some nice costumes and it would be great for kids. I did spend over 100 hours on the game and all my kids played it.

*Flips keyboard* ... dang thing errored out on me twice! Anywho...the single player game series I'd like to see as an MMO is Disgaea. I love the art style and the way they do storytelling with hiding depth behind silliness then hitting you in the gut with a serious moment when it counts. It already has a multi-verse, several races, classes, and progression options out the wazoo. The tricky part is making a turn-based strategy game multiplayer. My only thought on that front is how the hubby and I make it "two-player". Since the total characters you can have on the map is 10, we each create 5 and operate our 5 as its own "unit". We either take turns going through the maps with only our unit, or on more difficult endeavors, each operate our units independently on the same map to kill certain mobs or take care of objectives (i.e. geos, chests, etc.). Overall, I think it would be a good way to expose people not familiar with the series or style of gameplay even to a game that is just a lot of fun and has fun with itself.

Well if you know me I loooove my wuxia/martial arts games ,and I've always wanted to see some sort of sequel to Biowares RPG of 2005 Jade Empire. I would be nice to see Bioware revive one of their older IP's even if I highly doubt Jade Empire would fair well under the MMO format...

Especially under Biowares Free to play format... (opps)

I would actually want a Ghost Recon MMO. I think it would have the makings of a really good one. for the simple fact that pvp is already solid in all of those games. With the amount of tech skills weapon mod and equipment you can have would make for a really good experience in my opinion. I'm think as far as the world goes I would want it to be instanced based, kind of like Vindictus or Warframe, with the areas being twice the size of what Warframe has to offer. I like Warframe cash shop because its basically optional. Mostly everything in that game can be crafted so I really like that. I would try my best to keep UbiSoft hand away from my the cash shop especially since Ghost Recon Phantoms cash shop is completely pay to win.

I like the looks of tree of savior.
EA...you don't want to Nickel and Dime?, change your free to play model on swtor...i have stuff i cant use now because i choose not to pay despite having a boxed copy.

multiple bombs for Path of exile.
A bomb(yes an a bomb) for their initial supporters packs, and i hate to do that since it's to support them in future development BUT the pack was lackluster to say the least, price wise you got more for that money over the previous supporters packs. you got more for that tier of pack...what it would consist of for quite a few people was points and a forum tag (the pet and social frame not everyone use)

Da-Bomb for them listening to the players on the above issue, within a few hours they updated the announcement to tell the players that there would be a new portal effect for the bottom two tiers of supporters pack and weapon effects for all of them to be added once they were done.

Also a Da-Bomb for the ascendancy "expansion" coming early next year, the labyrinth looks fun and the sub classes look ridiculously over powered and to me would open op many options on how to play a specific build.
