Not sure how it would work as I've never play many on console. From what I've read of Elder Scrolls online it will still focus on smaller squads etc. Not sure how the powers/guns would work in that sort of environment. 

[Moby]

Maybe. Maybe.

It could work, but seeing as how i'm not a fan of what they're doing with ESO I would rather them not take too much from it =P

 

In any case I highly doubt it would happen anyway. MMOs are among the most expensive type of game you can make, so I don't see BioWare getting the green light to make a Mass Effect one while ToR is still a thing.

 

Although I'm sure EA would love to get their hands more firmly into the kind of money that World of Warcraft is still making, it seems as though nobody has figured out how to be a proper competitor to them.

[ImDedicatedToMyApologies]

It will be very hard to make a game like that. Plus they will need to remove the decision making system--the thing that makes ME mass effect.

 

 

And no I dislike all mmos and will not play a Mass Effect Online. (←smart)

To be a proper competition to WoW, the game needs to not be a WoW clone, something that it seems companies developing MMOs don't seem to understand.

 

Why should I as a WoW subscriber leave my guild and characters that I have had for years to play another game that is the same, I thought SWTOR could be one to break the clone curse with the better story telling, but 2+ years later and it hasn't added to the one thing that made it unique and stand out.

 

Mass Effect as a MMO, I doubt it will be Mass Effect as we know it now since they'd likely strip down the story elements since they're clearly not expanding what made SWTOR interesting in the first place.

 

It can work as a PvP focused shooter, not a game I'm personally interested in playing, but with the popularity of shooters, it might be able to work.

I've never played any MMOs so have no opinion on this but hasn't TOR been something of a disaster for EA? Are they likely through good money after bad?

[Striker93175]

I would play as an asari and spend all my in game time embracing eternity with the walls, the rocks, the trees, the squirrels, the birds, the enemies, the guns, the floors, the ships, the lights, the swords, the chairs, the rugs, ad nauseam.

 

[Sulaco_7]

No it wouldn't work, and they should just have kept making star wars games instead of making it an MMO.  Biggest mistake ever.

[coldflame]

If ea can **** up Star Wars as mmo why do you think it can do better with ME mmo...

[TheShadyEngineer]

MMOs sacrifice story and gameplay for scale or for the sake of just being an MMO. Very limited or even non existent moral decisions, crap story and gameplay that feels like a grind unless PVPing is what most MMOs are like.

 

In my opinion, that's no bueno- it's not mass effect and I don't think that's the direction fans want the Mass Effect series to go.

[Das Rouse]

I would expect small faction skirmishes. I wouldn't mind being a Batarian Raider or Pirate, plundering small ships. As long as I get to keep the BatSol's current powers.

[DeadeyeCYclops]

no, and you should be thrown out of the airlock for even thinking of the words Mass Effect and MMO in the same sentence...

[Homey C-Dawg]

It would work just as well as SWTOR worked.

 

So no.

[Tokenusername]

Bioware has always excelled at making strong charcter driven stories. It's hard to make you care about any random NPC in an MMO. ESO isn't even made by Bethesda.

[MaxShine]

MMO is one of my least favorite genres. They are usually a dumbed down version of some original game... so no

[Grim68]

EA doesn't exactly have the best track record with MMOs. TOR is the obvious one, but let's not forget about Warhammer Online. That game had a great starting player base (800k at launch) - because people were looking for a WoW-replacement. And WAR just never overcame the technical problems that plagued it (atrocious net-code). You could be running a top-spec PC and still experience lag with more than 5 or 6 people in your immediate area. 

 

I'm not sure EA (or anyone) could recreate the unprecedented success of WoW at this point, but I would love to see someone do it. I probably wouldn't be a part of it though. Think my MMO days are behind me.

 

Long story short - no thank you on MEO. 

 

 

 

But then again...I originally said that about ME3MP.

[Robbiesan]

No!!  Nyet!!  Nein!!

[Turian Master Race]

Given the Origin net code the answer is clear no.

 

Given that it would mean that you could explore Rannoch or Tuchanka or Palaven: who would not want to be there?

[cronshaw]

Maybe,

As for question#2 I love Star Wars and loved Knights of the Old Republic and I didn't play that MMO

so probably not.

[Face of Darkness]

I can't speak to the ability of EA in creating such a game, but the potential for an ME universe MMO is definitely there...

 

just thinking about the galaxy map, all the different races and possible quests based on lore? It could be done, easily, no doubt. I could come up with hundreds of possible quests on my own

 

Should it be done, and would it be well done? I cannot answer that

[Losing You to You]

I would play as an asari and spend all my in game time embracing eternity with the walls, the rocks, the trees, the squirrels, the birds, the enemies, the guns, the floors, the ships, the lights, the swords, the chairs, the rugs, ad nauseam.

 

make love not war

[squaredgonzo]

I played SWTOR, I loved it more than WoW simply because i'm a huge SW fan. But still, they rushed into that game, they should have prolonged the process for another year before releasing it.

[Ribosome]

i dislike mmo's as a whole so it's not something that would catch my interest in the slightest

[Ryuji2]

Doubt it would work. Why, you might ask?

 

Look at TOR. They kept pitching the story aspect but the uniqueness of the class stories die at 50 and you just do generic stories you don't particularly care about(I didn't, at any rate) afterwards. Your companions stop being characters and just start being combat buddies.

 

Mass Effect has a HUGE focus on story and MMOs will always take away from that because it has to fill a certain...quota for player happiness; Make everyone feel awesome. However, seeing many players at once doing the same things to feel awesome gets old quick when the stories are talking about "You are an elite among the elite!"

 

So, no. I don't believe it would work and I probably would not play it. I like ME3's co-op multiplayer  however. I'm not against some form of a MP in the ME universe. Probably wouldn't mind a PvP if it was done right(imagine getting camped by infiltrators or stunlocked by a novaguard...nope) but I doubt the latter will work if it's just like turian sentinel vs. krogan vanguard or...something.
