Why are we stuck in the same style of game when it comes to MMOs?
>Create character
>Pick class
>Quest until max level
>End game is dungeon running and raids
Everyone's been dying for a Pokemon MMO. Why doesn't someone make it? You don't need the pokemon license, just make your own monsters and methods of capture/battle.
Someone could probably pull off an Elder Scrolls style MMO.
>First person only
>Limited different armors with two or three "Best" Armors in both light/heavy categories.
>Main goal of the game is to just roam around and delve into ruins/caves.
>Level your ability to use different weapons, armors, and non-combat skills simply by using them.
>No real end-game, just making copies of whatever you feel is the best armor/gear and giving it different enchantments while continuing to roam around and explore the world collecting things to put in your house.
MMOs have huge potential. We have the tech to pull off a shit load more than we've trying to pull off now.
Planetside 2 is the only MMO I know of that has actually tried something new with the genre, but the gunplay is shit.
What is the appeal of the Pokemon MMO anyway? Don't people who say "we need a Pokemon mmo" mean "we want a game nothing like Pokemon but using the characters"?
Skyrim is a bad RPG, and would be even worse as an MMO template.

Nah. People just want a free-roam world where you catch pokemon, level them, and have PvP battles.
If someone could pull off making a world detailed enough, you would be a millionaire with just the above game without the pokemon name attached to it.

Wakfu, Runescape, and EVE are the only MMOs that are vaguely like this today.
Runescape has problems out the ass since they added microtransactions, Wakfu is only vaguely what you're looking for, and most people don't want to put in the effort of EVE or don't like sci-fi.
You should try out Project Gorgon though. It's in alpha but free and playable. Game isn't about gear chase at all, but exploring. You know NPCs have quests until you chat with them. You don't even know what skills are in the game until you learn them from exploration or teachers.
Themepark MMOs are what sell.
WoW and FFXIV make millions of dollars in sub revenue alone.
>>339440712
You can catch, level and battle people in every game ever. If people want an entire MMO so they can dick around and see other people, they haven't thought anything ahead of "WOW THIS WOULD BE COOL". The only thing I can't contest is free roam but then what? Pokemon are just arbitrarily gated behind areas until you level up or google where to go?
>>339440712
Already a game like that in development by Nexon. I can't remember the name of it but it had the ability to create shit similar to Everquest Landmark. It's Korea only and likely to be grind-fest shit. No idea whatever happened to it. It was popular like 2-3 years ago and then just dropped off.

No. What I'm saying is people would play the shit out of a game where it was just a big world to explore and catch different kinds of monsters in.
Gate nothing.
Want to go into the ocean and catch some cool water types? Have a monster that you can surf on and go out in the wild waters.
Want to catch some really good fire types? Find a way into the volcanic areas.

Exploring a big mmo world never takes all that much time, endgame grind is the most important thing to keep people around. And after a while people won't care about any pokemon besides the good ones
>>339441927

Because unconventional MMOs are a huge investment with a massive risk
Sticking to WoW clones is much more comforting to investors, you might even be able to cover server costs for a few years

You're telling me you don't want a game that let's you go full-throttle hardcore when you first start out, but then once you have seen everything you can either continue to casually play or get hard-core into the competitive scene?
Because we dont have the data transfer speeds for a good game. And the budget that mmos call for are so big that its hard for a company to take a risk and stray from the current normalEven if it still doesnt fucking sell. Holy shit what is wrong with people?
>>339442048

But a Pokémon MMO already exists. It even has all the regions.
And there are plenty of MMOs where the focus is not leveling/raids

WoW actually has this now and it's alot of fun.

With all of what you put in your op I can only assume you are asking this question due to pure ignorance and having no real clue about the mmorpg market... so answering all of that would require someone to do a lot of educating. Unfortunately, I don't volunteer as tribute.

I'm saying that the see everything part will be very insubstantial and most of the game will be the usual mmo shit

Because the only reason people want a Pokemon MMO is the IP. Competitive pokemon is full on autism and adding multiplayer to the campaign adds jackshit to the game.
>Main goal of the game is to just roam around and delve into ruins/caves.
People will get bored of it in no time flat

Here's the thing: you can't ever stray from the formula, otherwise you'll make no money whatsoever.

Adding to this, MMOs are retarded expensive to develop AND maintain. Why trying something new that will most probably crash and burn? No reason to lose millions when rehashing the same shit works.

What's the best 2D F2P MMO? Dofus, Wakfu, etc. Preferably an isometric Japanese one.

Could you name them? I'm unaware of most of them. I know PS2 and Warframe, but that's it.

The thing I don't understand is, why can't people just make a normal game that can have thousands of players on a single server? Why is it expected that an MMO is going to be clicking and grinding and that's it?
havent anyone tried pokemmo??
>>339450037
Concurrency I guess. Too much shit for the server to handle, the more calculations that are required on the server, the more expensive it gets to sustain a high amount of users.
Just guessing though. Not sure how something like Planetside 2 works.
>>339440895
OSRS alleviates this somewhat, but it still isn't perfect. Best mmo out there with now, though
>>339450037
Because the number of information you need to relay increase exponentially the more player there are nearby. Games like Planetside 2 has queue to limit playernumber.
Point and click game has low server load and grinding are staple for eastern mmo where hardwork are more valued than skill.
