Now hopefully I don't get bashed for this idea, or BioWare deletes the post. I hope they take this post into consideration.. My main idea I had, as I was discussing with my friend. The possibilities Mass Effect has with EA's help is limitless. Look at what EA has done with many games with funding and assistance. I think this partnership was a good one. Yes I know a lot of people don't quite agree with that, but thats fine. We're all intitled to our own opinions, that's the greatness about being human.
Idea for a prequel MMO/RPG/Shooter
This main story set will take place before Shepard was even born. Around when Saren was fighting the good fight. A lot of things could go on. But you basically will begin your own story as whatever race you would prefer. Quarian, Asari, Human, Krogan, Geth, and so on. Some races I'm sure must be left out due to space in the game. But the basics of the game are you choose your race and the way you want to go. Whether you do the good thing or the bad thing. This would maybe give BioWare some time to explain some more things with detail. I'm not completely sure of the stories in the books, which I own but I haven't read yet. (Will soon though) But you have all these planets and places people could go and hang. You would easily be able to make it to where a team of people can just go destroy Geth, Pirates, Alliance, Cerberus, Citadel, and much more for XP and team experience. You can fight any which one of these based on your alliances with whomever and beliefs. Possibly it could end up people fight one another because they align with someone else. Maybe sometimes you could stay in your race and just side with them. Asari, Geth, Krogan, Humans, and Quarians all have there own place of origin, which it should be possible to just align yourselves with your own kind. Now I don't think it should be capable of a million people which War Of Warcraft has plenty of ideas Mass Effect could do for this. Oh and don't forget you can still pick which class you would want to be. But of course some races, you would be limited to which class you want to be.
I love Mass Effect and the story, but there are times I just wish I could play with some friends in an open world. It's such a great team game and using strategy is key here. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to work that with friends possibly against A.I. or against Human players? Without turning it into a huge camp fest such as Gears Of War, Halo, Call Of Duty, and so on. It would be a beginning of a new era in gaming. Yes I'm well aware Mass Effect 3 is to come out and it will be a great game, but wouldn't my idea be perfect? I mean I'm sure many others have had this thought, but have you really put all your thought into it? If I worked for BioWare this is something I would absolutely love to help create. I think it's time for a new style of gaming to come out. A lot of great ideas are put into this game, and the creativity is as good maybe even better than the Star War universe.
The level of customization in Mass Effect is unreal, and just with a sort of MMO feel it would be a great game. I'm tired of boring MMO ideas coming to consoles with horrible graphics(MMO DC Universe). I want a decent game with meaning to co-op and a reason to fight. Fight for your race, or whomever you fight for if you leave your race to go solo or with a crew of your own. With this idea you wouldn't interfere with the Shepard story which is an amazing story, give us an option to be another race that we love or stay human and make our own alliances.
Now my idea for a sequel is pretty much the same thing, but I just don't know how that would interfere with the Reapers and what not because we don't know what will come when Mass Effect 3 comes out; but many other ideas can come out of this. Please post your input below on this idea.
Mass Effect Prequel or Sequel after Mass Effect 3? (Looking into the future)

There's a ton of these threads, even a few made in the past few days, you should tack this on to those instead of making a new thread

Problem with MMOs is the bulk of people who play them. Seriously. You'll get a bunch of tards who are not into role-play who just want to grief other players. BioWare/EA would have to bend the lore of Mass Effect around guys like this:
Now certainly there is enough material for a prequel or any number of spin-offs. Like Mass Effect: The Quarian Fleet or somethin.

Their expesive and take forever to make too. Although a MMO doesn't mean it has to be a RPG, we could get a MMORTS for example.

Yeah I'll get right on the searching for another thread of my exact replica of an idea, the way I explained it. I have my own idea and a way to express it. So no I won't search for another thread. Sorry kidbd15.

Here is what I posted on the IGN boards.
Idea for the next trilogy sequel:
Fast forward 200 years (or some other arbitrary amount of time). You play a Yahg explorer, on one of your species' first official missions into the galaxy. But you soon discover the old races have become a Shepard worshiping xenophobic cult empire.
The first game of the new trilogy will be about you trying to save your species. The later games can uncover what happened to the old races, possible links to Cerberus and/or the designers of the Reapers.

I have an idea for the next game:
Takes place in the future 100+ years after the galaxy has learned to stand on their own two feet and a new council of Asari, turian, human, quarian, krogan have united the galaxy in a new golden era breaking the cycle of machines overturning their creators. But another galaxy, that didn't have the Conduit to come up with a solution to the synthetic threat, has been completely taken over by synthetics and now seeks new resources and wages war against our galaxy.
Some old faces make an appearance now much older Grunt and Liara would certainly still be alive after a few hundred years and Miranda too since her genes gives her twice the life expectency of regular humans.
Since Bioware wants a all new character who isnt' shepard he/she can be a bounty hunter starting off on Omega. You can even choose what race you want to be.

If it were up to me, I'd be doing Mass Effect Prequels and not Mass Effect 4 using the destroy ending as Canon. I can't really see where the story can go with the Reapers and Geth dead. Except maybe an intergalactic power struggle at the end of war. Maybe have Shepards finally marry their waifus to keep everybody happy. Make every character romancable regardless of gender. Include a furry character and a My Little Pony Mini Game too. But that's just pandering to entitled whiners then.
Nah...Prequels.
Nah...Prequels.

Now this I'd play.

Please, don't make a prequel. I know there's a universe of possibilities with a prequel, but in the end the outcome would be the same.
My suggestion for the next game is this. Takes place 1000 years after the events of Mass Effect 3. Now, the council has a few new spacefaring species. Shepard is described as a hero in history books, and a Shepard's monument stands in the Presidium (depicting your Shepard's facial features depending on your previous playthrough). Humans have earned respect in the Council, after their acts in the Harvest War.
Eventually, a council's patrol fleet runs into a mysterious mass relay, different in format and way bigger than a conventional mass relay. The councilors debate over the necessity of further investigation as to where this MR leads to, but some fear that the opening of this new mass relay might pave the way to a new hostile species dwelling in an unexplored nook of the Milky Way. The majority of the Council decides to expand their influence by entering the Mass Relay. This is when a new human protagonist is introduced (male or female). It is not possible to choose other races due to the lack of room, and considering that it would be difficult to maintain the objectivity if BW had to build a story for every possible race in-game.
Your protagonist is tasked to open the Mass Relay, and investigate where it leads to. However, it turns out that you end up traveling to a new galaxy. Moreover, this new galaxy is rife with new sapient life forms, some of which hostile. A first contact war follows, and things get even hotter when new informations about the Reapers and their true creators are unearthed.
