There actually was a western market big name 1 a few years ago, can't remember the name. It didn't last long thought it was in some was pretty ambitious (they used all kinds of real world car data/parts information that you could use to upgrade your car).

There will never a horror mmog. Because, the real horror is when you are alone and in the dark. Stay in the dark with a lot of people isn't horror, is something else... :P

Figthing MMO? Huum... hard to think in something... :S

Racing MMO already exist (Tales Runner, Upshift Strike Racer and another ones);

I dunno... DDO's pretty horror mmo for me. Being sent down in a dark maze full of giant hyper-realistic spiders every 5 minutes is enough to make me want to stab myself (or quit... whichever).

Fighting games as a one-on-one setup might not work well in a MMO setting, but what about reviving the old beat-em-up genre?

Hmm, a fighting MMO would still go towards the RPG genre I think, else it'll just be a multiplayer fighting game, unless you ofcourse make a huge world where you can can fight in without RPG elements but that would be boring.

Dragonball Online is in some level of beta now. It looks kind of like a online fighter, kind of.

Hmm the Kingdom Under Fire looks cool, and a Dragonball MMO is also something I wanted to see for a while now.

Though what I really like to see is a persistent MMORTS with everyone having a town on the same map, it's always there so you can be attacked when not there, etc.

Shattered Galaxy was actually one of the most fun MMOs I have ever played. If it had had the marketing of one of the majors behind it, I think it really could have developed into something special.

Yeah, I played Shattered Galaxy for about four years. Until Kru took over, anyway. Definitely what I would consider an MMORTS.

WiiFit ONLINE!
Be out of shape with 200,000 strangers all on the same server! Compare your bodies!

You laugh, but that could actually work very well. In the WiiFit MMO you would pay a monthly fee to have someone else design your workout for you. Sign up for classes, compare with other people in the class. Global, regional, and local leaderboards for all the mini-games.
