Basically a license to print money. I can't fathom why SEGA hasn't done this, they are really missing out on a huge opportunity. I think a properly done Sonic MMO could be the second biggest MMO in the world after World Of Warcraft.
Imagine a game set on Mobius, with characters able to take either control of the resistance, playing as their own version of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles or many of the other heroes...
OR
Players can serve the evil Dr. Eggman, becoming a robotic minion or playing as Shadow (for example) and fighting against the Resistance.
There could be monthly "wars" between the two factions. I honestly think SEGA doesn't want to make money because a Sonic MMO would be an amazing game and a HUGE hit.
Would you guys want to play a Sonic MMO?
>its a pokemon mmo episode featuring sonic
Just as retarded.
>Implying it wouldn't just turn into a cesspool of ERP and autism because the Sonic fandom is fucked in the head

sounds like cash-making cow on paper.
not sure about reality
I think this is a terrible idea. The sonic franchise doesn't belong to people who can pull this off.

The community is the most important part of ANY multiplayer game. And the Sonic fanbase is absolutely autistic.

>character creator that lets you make your own donut steel
>cash shop to buy cosmetics for your donut steel
They'd make a lot of money off autists but I don't know if there are enough Sonic autists to sustain it for any considerable amount of time

That's not entirely true because not everybody who plays an mmo is interested in the community. If a game wouldn't be enjoyable playing it totally alone, its not a good mmo.
I don't think it could be done with sonic unless you straight up ripped ToonTown's code

That makes no fucking sense.
let's not and say we did

>MMOs are filled with ERP degenerates who love playing the races that are the most furry
>Sonic has a huge autistic following that love creating OC and roleplaying
No

Your gameplay should be good enough that you're not paying to use an over glorified IRC

How many "google your name + the hedgehog" threads have there been? I think they could last for a very long time.

>Sonic
>huge hit
ok

So basically, no MMO has any excuse for being an MMO, is what you're telling me.

That's why it would print money.
