Next MMO you may play?

[Maguspk]

Nintendo needs to just make a fucking Pokemon MMO, they have got to know how obviously successful it would be. It'd capture such a wide audience and it'd be really hard to fuck it up, I mean the Pokemon story lends itself to being an MMO anyway.

It'd be really sexy if they were working on an MMO all this time, underwraps and just released it on the Wii or something sometime around the Christmas season next year.

Do you know if Nintendo has any secret plans for a Pokemon MMO or such? It's painfully obvious that such a project would be incredibly popular and rake in tons of cash. It also has the potential to be the biggest MMO ever. They could make multiple clients for the Revolution, the DS, the PC, the cellphone, etc. and all of them could allow people to play the game in a different way. Perhaps on the DS you do something like Nintendogs to boost your Pokemon and battle people on the street. But on the Revolution you get the full Pokemon World.

I'm not even a big fan of Pokemon or anything. But it seems to me like Nintendo is passing over this amazing opportunity that could make lots of money and indoctrinate many more kids around the world. The window of opportunity is closing quickly, however, as the poularity of pokemon is dropping by the minute. Anyone who knows anything about video games only has to think about this idea for a few minutes to see a land of opportunity and wealth. Just what are the people at Nintendo thinking? How can they not come up with such an obvious idea? They have to be working on something in secret.

Of course, many people have suggested such a game over the years. There are two main obstacles, aside from the sheer difficulty in developing any MMORPG. First, Nintendo has never had a truly viable online platform to launch such a game; that's about to change with DS and then Revolution. Second, and more troublesome, is the inherent nature of an MMORPG. Interacting with other people requires more or less free communication, which means Nintendo cannot censor the game's content. They can't keep creepy old guys from flirting with the many young kids who would want to play such a game. There's no way to realistically police the game to prevent such behavior, so it's never going to happen unless Nintendo takes away full and open communication, which would cripple the MMORPG gameplay as we know it. Perhaps Nintendo will design a new kind of massive, online Pokemon game that can be played without such means of communication among players. But at that point, it will no longer be what we think of today as an MMORPG.

FFXI was my first and probably last MMO, unless they made Diablo III. That's probably the only thing I'd quit FFXI for.

[Thoronas]

MMO's are so 2003.

[Ryany]

I'll probably play the next WoW expansion to see if they fixed any problems that drove me away from it on the last expansion. The whole deal where gear is so important discourages people like me from coming back because of all the catching up in gear until a future expansion that obsoletes everything.

[Falisa]

I'm honestly suprised at how many people won't play another MMO lol I'm guess I'm way too into these types of games. :D

[Seditedi]

I'm not quitting crack to start using heroin. Whenever I'm done with FFXI, I'll never play a MMORPG again.

made me lol
so true though!

[Exoduso]

I said that once I quit FFXI I wouldn't play any other MMO... then I ended up playing WoW for a few months and quit that cus it got boring... yeah i'm pretty sure i'm done with MMOs now heh.

[Lordwafik]

As much as I'd love a pokemon MMO, no way will it turn out any good with the Wii, maybe when nintendo take the stick out of their ass and remove the shitty friendcode system and replace it with an ID system, then maybeeee MMOs would be launched on it properly.

[Seditedi]

Guess you meant Nintendo?
But yeah the friend code system kinda fails for MMO.
I wouldn't play an MMO on Wii anyways though lol.

[Lordwafik]

oops will edit

[Natallon]

i will prolly stick with ffxi till it dies...

then never touch MMOs again

[SephYuyX]

Nintendo has already stated in the past the dont need to use the FC system, they just do so for whatever reason.

[Tajin]

First and last, I might try SE's next MMO well, just because they have fucked with my mind for so long but dont take me for MMOs are bad for j00 and me.

[Ramor]

I think it's kind of funny that FFXI just grabbed hold of so many people and basically ruined them for other MMOs, it's like the Ohio of video games,
"Welcome to FFXI, now you're stuck faggot"

[Torn]

Like others have said, FFXI was my first and last I really can't see myself spending so much time on something like that again =/

[Eanae]

Aion :nikkei:

[kuronosan]

It's not that FFXI ruined MMORPGs for me... SE ruined MMORPGs for me. I don't care if there's an MMORPG that's invariably awesome and has the coolest shit in the world you can do... it's not worth the time invested just to have it robbed by RMT, account hackers, stupid people... it's just not worth the experience. Sure, there are idiots everywhere in the world (like the crybabies who cry over whoppers) but in real life I don't have to pick up 5 idiots in my truck so I can take 5 hours to drive to a fight that we lose because they were wearing cotton instead of wool. I can avoid the idiots and think of a way to accomplish it myself.

Seriously, 6 people to kill a crab for 1/200th progress is just impossibly stupid... especially given the insanely crappy drop rate on a lot of the gear that makes the difference between "great" players and "average" players.

[Jefe]

Chances are I won't play any MMORPG again, unless they release something "cool" for the PS3.

[Dezzimal]

I'll try Warhammer for sure, and possibly continue when it goes live if its good otherwise I suspect I'll just cultivate more alts in WoW till it dies out or I no longer enjoy it.

[Zarath]

FFXI will be the last MMO I'll play, tried all others, ended up going back to it -_-;

Just don't have the time devotion anymore to redo another one from the get go.
