What IP do you want the most?

So many games that had amazing IPs are still not doing that well and was not what we expected from that kind of IP. SWTOR, FF, TES, etc.
What IP would you like to see created. Now this is not what elements of a game would you like to see just what world would you like to live in if they did a successful game with?
Star Wars, Dr. Who, Dragonball Z, etc.
What world would you be interested in? Might also make a poll afterwards just to see which world has the most supporters once I get people to give some answers.

I prefer original IPs designed to be MMOs rather than IPs that are then made into MMOs.
If I had to choose one, it would be Naruto and take place before the 5 great nations were founded.

This will show the age of anyone who agrees with me, but Masters of the Universe would be EPIC!!!
It's already got everything that an MMO needs, plus they were riding tigers before WoW was even thought of!

None. I think the industry has proven on several occasions that famous IPs do not make good MMOs. Lets have some innovation. Design something new, build a world from scratch. Maybe employ a famous author to help build the world, some are pretty good at it.
But if you are forcing me, Judge Dredd - Mega City One.
Agree with you 100% but if I had to pick one I always thought Babylon 5 would make for a great MMO setting....

This. Specially single player game IP's. And if a known IP is used, i'd prefer if the story of the mmo is as far away from the main storyline from the of the series as possible.
Personally, i think a Mobile Suit Gundam mmo would cool since we don't really have that many mech video games, much less mmos. And Gundam games don't usually come to the West. But like i said, it would have to have 0 connection to any of the universes, being it UC or AU.

This is a really difficult question. Some of the first things that spring to my mind, Like Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern, don't really have the right structure for an MMO and also have problems like designed-in sexism in the original series which would have to be eliminated to make it a good MMO. Others, like Paul Park's Starbridge Chronicles are good mainly because of their M-rated elements and would only work as an adults-only MMO. Something like Tainith Lee's Biting The Sun duology vividly captures a slice of life in a futuristic world, but the rest of the world besides that slice would have to be invented from whole cloth or drawn from another work to make a hybrid world.
IMO a good MMO world needs:
- An exotic yet comfortable and pleasant main culture to be shown through NPC towns and the crafting system. Probably several sub-cultures with distinct differences with each other would be needed to give different locations character and provide the philosophical basis for opposing NPC factions.
- A frontier where there are risks, opportunities, mysterious ruins, and cool monsters, but not a real risk that lots of people will be slaughtered or the world will end, or in the other direction a risk that the frontier will all get tamed and the world will run out of adventure opportunities.
- Sandboxy natural space for players to build in
- Ideally, not too much technology because a modern feel hampers escapism. No guns, no robots, no computers, no steam engines. If it's a futuristic world it should be post-technological or have converted to biotech, and if it's a primitive or feudal world it should have magical tech.
How many fictional settings that actually have all that, and aren't dependent on the main character(s) being a secret special type of person different from the rest of the world?
All die, so die well.
Would it have an M rating???

1) Middle Earth Silmarillion era - armies of balrogs and the like. Won't happen as long as Christopher Tolkien is in charge.
2) Babylon 5
3) Farscape
So yeah, I'm not getting my wish.
How many delicate flowers have you met in Counterstrike?
I got a case of beer and a chainsaw waiting for me at home after work.

White Wolf's "World of Darkness", pretty much as described by the bastards that are stopping the project after all these years, CCP.
Alien vs Predator. 3 faction warfare with Marines, Aliens, and Predators. I think there is a lot of that could be done with this ip and to be honest, i want an mmo other than the tired old fantasy clone. Wildstar just doesnt feel sci-fi enough to me...
