Weren't they making one back in 2008?
I wonder what happened. I just don't see how something like that could not make it.

I take it that you're saying "most people these days" weren't around 10 years ago ?
An IP is not nessasarily ruined if put into an MMO format, if done correctly and with people passionate about the source material. The idea that appeals to MMO is exactly that, the ability to be able to create your own character/personality and feel immersed in the world. Look at how they have expanded the Buffy-verse via season comics as more people wanted it to continue (and still does this day, I think they are up to Season 11 now).
Dont forget that "Warcraft" was essentially an IP before it was an MMO, and I am sure there were people and naysayers who were shouting (Dont turn my beloved RTS Strategy game into an MMO!!) And look at it now!?
I feel that if done properly (and the WERE making one), a Buffy MMO could very well succeed, you could have say, different dimensions (Servers) and only 1 person on that server can strive to be the slayer (similar in concept to the Emperor in ESO) yet once that person attains that illustriious title, they gain the abilities of the slayer, until somone PVPs them and takes the mantle, or something similar in concept.
Heres hoping someone buys the rights and revives it, which may happen if they ever get the reboot movie off the ground.
Or maybe that a Twilight MMO might be more relevant? Oh! That did it, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

First player to log in on a server gets to be that server's Buffy. The rest can only play vampires.
Not really on board with a Buffy MMO. Firefly however, is a much different story. I think it could make an awesome and interesting MMO.
ESO has guilds and has vampires and werewolfs and hunters.
Too bad the idea was too half baked imo to be good enough to be an end game system similar to a bounty hunting system at end game.
Vampires, werewolves and etc were basically different buffs/debuffs and nothing more.
Im still baffled by how mmos do not develop end game systems but rather focus on developing more of the same with story, questing mechanics, raids and pvp.
Leaving out mini games, sometimes even housing, mounted combat, swimming, puzzles, platforming... but no, they would rather add 1000s of hours of just repetitive questing.
Write bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble
I think an "or" would be a much better fit for that connection... Never liked the Buffy / Angel era myself (but yep, SMG was awesome
)
His later works on the other hand, both on series (Firefly, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible, heck even Coulson with his Shield
), on the big screen (Serenity, Avengers - ok, that was a bit weak 
), and in the comics with Marvel (and earlier Dark Horse) all great.
And as others said above, I'd rather have a Firefly game (not necessarily mmo) instead of Buffy. But I admit, it's a great name for mmo characters, I know a dude who has at least one in each game that has a buffer/debuffer class
There's a single player Buffy game on PS2
