the mmo i would want to play

neorandom

 a little ole IP known as mechwarrior/battletech, heck even in mech 3 we used the msn rooms to make leagues that used pen and paper systems to take planets and systems ect, and the games online combat itself to decide the fights.  an actual mechwarrior mmo would be simply fantastic, rpg style leveling of your pilot to gain access to new tech and heavier chasis and all that good stuff and pvping for territory, not too mention the potential for crafting!  /nerdgasm

The mech warrior / giant robot genre for MMOs has been tossed around several times. It just never really made it. Dont know why. Perhaps too much of a niche market. You may want to consider EvE online, however

BattleTech... what an awesome IP it was.

They really need to make a next-gen version of this. Then we could have high-quality mech battles with plenty of LRMs and lasers flying all across the screen.

Mech games of all types need to hit the market again. Ease off all the WW2 shooters and make an awesome mech game pls!
