    Guildwars isn't exactly a MMO but darn close and I certainly would like to see a new version there.

    Besides that I think Asherons call would be the top of my list, mainly because nothing like it exist today. DaoC would also be nice but maybe CU can do just that.

    SWG is the obvious choice.

    Auto Assault. You could even ditch the bs that "...and the knowledge of todays mmo´s." is, and just rerelease the very same game with an up-to-date engine.

    (and they were right, the mmorpg did change, for the worse, if you look at all these action craps and browser / mobile taking ahead - though I'm sure they were thinking something else when they did that line in the trailer :smiley: )

    The twist of the reboot would be - all characters would be dudes.

    City of Heroes - what, you expected me to say anything else?

    Actually I would also like to see a modernized version of EQ2 with the annoying problems fixed.


    The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!

    Star Trek Online and Neverwinter Online. LotRO aint crap, but the engine could use an update, the gameplay could be a bit faster plus the f2p model is terrible.


    Scrapped MMOs? Maybe Vanguard, but it's more about the systems and career paths than the game lore and world. So if those systems would be used some where else, I don't mind either.

    SB already had dudes by the time of the shutdown - ok, just one class, so it was more like breaking the (inverse) gender barrier :wink:

    Scarlet Schlong, I thought that's Conan Exiles...

    I would not mind Hellgate made into a warframe like game. It is probably a bad idea to make a "real" MMO though.

    Wurm Online.

    Its still being worked on yes I know but I would like to see the game 'modernized' in how it looks

    Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

    Please do not respond to me

    The reality is - none of these will be rebooted due to license agreements/IP issues.

    EMU is the best you can hope for.

    It was asking for people's opinions on what they would like to see rebooted. Jesus you just gotta jump in and try to piss in people's Cheerios

    If we could fuse two MMOs together to be rebooted, I'd pick ATiTD for the crafting and a themepark for good combat and story.
    I want to help design and develop a PvE-focused, solo-friendly, sandpark MMO which combines crafting, monster hunting, and story.  So PM me if you are starting one.

    But don't make it a MMO. Just make it an online shooter like Destiny 2.

    Very few good mmorpgs ever so can't really think of a scrapped one i would like to see brought back unless overall design improved but then it wouldn't be the same game.
    I feel the biggest drawback is all of these games are designed on a rail,from level 1 to end level they feel identical just substituting level 1 for a different level.

    They are SUPPOSE to be a living world,npc's trying to look like real citizens,eco systems,weather and realistic or plausible ideas but nope,everything looks cheap to me,like very little effort or thought put into systems.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    lol .. they are just entertainment, and not "supposed to be" anything. In fact, there is no point to adhere to any hypothetical design, and design should change to accommodate changing tastes.

    Not unlike this site starts to broaden their definition of MMO to attract traffic who does not care about the old traditional MMORPGs.
