Hello this is my 1st post. I was reading about the lore of all Baldurs gate and the whole Faerun world that BG takes place. Wouldnt be awesome to have a MMO game just like BG but be able to go to Baldurs gate or Athkatla or some other region that we know??? or be a quest dungeon in Watchers Keep with 6 or raid with 12 people?? Especially with the lore that we know Bioware could make one of the best MMO and im sure plenty of old gamers would like to play again in Amn or Baldurns gate!!!
What you think guys??
Baldurs Gate Online???

No, that's not a good idea....... MMOs just destroy franchises now a days, IMHO.

If you are talking about WoW or L2 you are right...but i play at the same LoTRo and they have made an amazing game without ruin the lore of Tolkien. If Bioware would decide to turn Faerun into an MMO that would be a blast...every player would love to play again. I play BG2 and ToB for the 4th time with different ways and classes.

Baldur's Gate Online...what blasphemy is this?!?
Just kidding but the closest to a Baldur's Gate MMO is the Baldur's Gate - Sword Coast Chronicles PW for NwN2.

One of the things that make Baldur's Gate as it is today great, is with all the mods and npc's out there, to tweak it to the max to your personal preferences. And like every single-player game, you can play it when you like, how you like it and how difficult you want it to be. Those things make even the Battlefield-series more fun to me when playing SP. Aren't there enough MMO's already?

Yeah, but every MMO is a WOW clone nowadays. Nothing wrong with WOW - i still love playing it - but all those unimaginative clones are getting on my nervves.
I never really understood why D&D Online was based in Eberron, not in the Forgotten Realms.
A Baldur's Gate MMO - that might actually be a nice alternative to WOW. Provided Bioware gave us a new angle on the genre. No one needs WOW clone number 564.

It's funny you post this as I was just thinking about this issue last night. I was thinking about WoW, in particular. I played WoW from around launch until it's furst expansion, The Burning Crusade. A few months ago I decided to give it a go again and picked whatever the last expansion was (before the most recent one). Between the x-pack, subscription and server transfer (to be with friends), I paid about 100 bucks. Seriously. And then I log in and the game was all but totally unrecognizable to me.
I loved vanilla WoW. I don't love what it is now and, although I have invested more money in that game than any other, I can never again play the game that I bought. It has changed forever beyond my control and now it is something totally different. I don't mean to complain, because I'm actually not, it's probably for the best, anyway. It is a weird 'service' however and thinking about this made me really appreciate the great singe-player games like BG.
Er, sorry to derail the thread. More on topic. I don't really know. If it was an awesome game then, yes, it would be awesome. I feel that the OP is posting on the assumption that the game he's imagining would be awesome and all posts that follow assume (maybe more realistically) that it would not be.

I think they've proven with TOR that they don't have the balls to really do this.

About all MMOs are clone to WoW i say check LoTRo...fantastic game with nothing the same to WoW. I had played wow few years back and didnt like it at all....
Now i started that thread because i was searching through the wiki about baldurs gate and found out so many regions, cities, and wars between cities that would be awesome to have them all in once as an MMO game. Of course im thinking this as an awesome game...

No, an MMO is in direct contrast to what Baldur's Gate is. An MMO located in the Forgotten Realms where BG takes place...maybe. I'm not big on MMO's, but regardless, no way should one ever be done for BG.

IMO, MMORPG consists of just MMO which is completely incompatible with the second part of the word RPG. So long as you play the game while seeing how many players there are, how they behave, that they are doing the same all-important missions as you, that they are all as strong as you (even though you are heralded by all the NPCs as the messias), it's impossible to roleplay. What you are doing (going on raids or doing the same dungeon a dozen times to get a certain item (ie, working for your perfect character) is all nice and well, but, I repeat, it's not roleplaying.
If you ignore the vast majority of the players, and concentrate on those guys you actually want to play with, you have the option to indulge in some roleplaying. But if you ignore all the other players, it's sort of pointless that you are on an MMO server with thousands of naked guys jumping around you, trying to steal your XP and generally going on your nerves.

Hi,
Have read alot and have to admit im not up to spec with all acronyms though would say that i've played BG SOA and ToB practically to death - and still love it! Limited only by my imagination and of course the boundries of the game..... I would love to see the whole set of sagas plus one or two new ones incorporated into a full massive game where in ToB you end with the option to 'walk the earth or such' and return to candle keep but now as a powerhouse of destruction etc etc or revisit suldenessar, BG,Nashkel or the town with statues of you - cant remember had a couple meads. If there was a way to work up through a games based similarly and create your own town as a lord yet still encompassing the original ethics of the game, hire your own mercenarys, lock into large scale conflict with an orc invasion - lets face it anyone who has progressed their mage to a high level and uses simulacrum would wanna test that against a large scale assault..... perhaps an on-line combat arena for players to test their suited party, maybe a huge scale quest to some dragon mountain range where you can gear your troop toward that specific purpose or again if your powerful enough hire mercenaries etc to go in your stead. a sub menu heading that allows multiple groups like the muscle attachments in the old gangsters 2 strat game. i think the possibilities are endless and am dissapointed that there seems nothing to follow in or take the next step.
kind regards
