The Daily Grind: What MMO would you like to see be brought back to life?

NEOCRON!!!

Deus Ex Inspired Cyber-Punk MMO!

Yes - Pre-NGE SWG. ran that from closed beta until I just couldn't stand it any more. I liked the Creature Handler. exploratiion and taming was interesting. quite a challange at times.

E&B was fun, did beta on that as well.

Rather than rez of an old MMO, I"d really like to see Anarchy Online get a complete interface revamp - that's a very good game, very nice for trade, craft, team play, solo play. it's just good all around. but the UI is a stumbling block at times.

1. Pre-CU Star Wars: Galaxies. Without a doubt.

2.Tabula Rasa. If there's one thing it did right, it was immersing you into it's environment. Drop ships bringing new troops (instead of pop-in respawns), Control Points (some NPC towns) flipping control between us and the Bane. When I played it, I felt very into the world.

E A R T H & B E Y O N D !!! !!!

Even though it's not killed, it's pretty dead and i want it back in shiny new clothes: Neocron!

Yes, I know the mighty Al'Kabor Mac-only server. And the tiny EQMac community is probably the best community I've met since I've played my first MMO ...

I would like to be able to play Asheron Call 2 longer than the week i did because of the total emtyness of the severs.

But i would like Motor City Online aswell, mainly because i never got to play it.
Maybe Need for Speed Online wil be someting like it.

Asheron's Call 2 and Tabula Rasa.

Both were incredible games. =/

Tabula Rasa, hands down that game had potential, and if a company OTHER than NC soft had it, it would have never been shut down. I hate NC soft as a company because they fail at nearly every game, City of Heroes a beloved game, has remained the same for 5+ years, and they are just waiting for it to die. It is truly sad to see a company use the facilities on it's veteran players. Tabula Rasa was incomplete at launch and everyone knew it, NC soft rushed them and knew the game was gonna fall, the only people who really cared about that game were it's GM's whatever was left of the development team.

I would LOVE to see a Shadowbane remake with better graphics and controls, less bugs and hackers. The premise behind that game (freeform city building + meaningful sieges and conquest) was amazing.

As someone said earlier. SWG pre CU is available to play now. Over at SWGemu. About a thousand players are logged in and playing every night.

I'd love to see AC2 brought back.

It's funny because I remember the SWG "glory days" as well as anyone, and while it was a fun sandbox, it had some pretty extreme weaknesses. I guess the folks claiming they'd "go back in a heartbeat" to a pre-CU/pre-NGE server, don't remember the broken skill trees and abilities, useless crafting trees, and lack of questing or other content. I do, because the SWG I played ignored all of those things in favor of hardcore player city roleplay. But once all those people left for WoW, the golden age was gone anyway -- it wasn't really NGE that did it. I won't say NGE was a good idea; it was a wretched one, and SWG that first year after NGE really sucked. But I still play SWG today, and the game has come a loooooooooong, loooooong way from NGE. I really wouldn't trade it for pre-CU anymore. The only thing I'd want back would be the skill trees rather than classes. That's it. Other than that, it's a significantly better game today than it ever was, it's really that simple.

If I had to pick a game I'd want back, hmm. I think that by now, had they been able to stick with it, AC2'd be a pretty fun game. Ditto with UXO, I'd really like that to have come out. But honestly, most of the games that die, deserve it.

Tabula Rasa. Because a lot of things made a whole lot more sense.

I miss auto assault. i have fond memories of my mastermind character, roving around the highways, with a merry band of robots blowing the CRAP outta everything i met. I was so sad to return one day and find it gone. any community emu projects for it?
