SWTOR is not going to be a success, so modeling anything after that would be a mistake.

Could you give me next weeks lotto numbers? It does not have to be perfect but enough to score 100k or so would be great.

 ala SWTOR.

you failed to mention the ****ty graphics, gameplay, quests, loot, credits, design...All generic, all LOOKS like crap. I give ToR 6months before it starts to circle the drain

I dislike MMOs, I loved Knights of the Old Republic but im sad that I wont play the MMO because they suck. I love single player missions and storyline. MMOs are generic. If I wanted to play with others I would just play Halo 3 or MW2 online. If i wanted to socialize I would just go out to bars, etc. No interest in MMOs. Besides How the hell do you make sequels once an MMO came out? MMO kills game brands in favor of money making.

Mass Effect would actually make a pretty good mmo if you think about it. the universe is massive and there would be so much to do. HOWEVER if it was an mmo like WoW or Swtor with the hotkey bars it would be crap.

If they could make a Mass Effect mmo that was basically the same type of game style that it is now but a lot bigger and online it would be incredible

You mean ME3 (but without the online part)?

I can imagine the first quest: collect 64 Krogan quads and return to Izod at Citadel station.

Wow, such vitriol about a concept that is not only good looking on paper but is sound business

MMO's are money, pure and simple, wether or not the "hardcore" ME fan is going to buy it is a drop in the bucket compared to the sheer numbers it can pull in if it's done right.

Now there is a caveat to it being "done right"
MMO's can't make everyone happy all the time, it's easy to craft a story about one person or a small group of people.  But trying to write/script/produce a constantly evolving story involving thousands if not millions of people?  Tough work even for our storycraft wizards at BW.

But fact of the matter is, that for every one of those "MMO will ruin Mass Effect" there are 10 "Mass Effect MMO huh?  Looks new, I'll try it" and those are the people that grease the cogs of a money making machine.

An MMO would be money in the bank for BioWare and EA, I wouldn't be surprised at all of Star Wars is the launching pad for more IP's to get the MMO treatment, Dragon Age?  Mass Effect?  Jade Empire?  All fair game if Star Wars works, and if Star Wars fails?
Well at least they "ruined" a piece of IP that was ruined by it's creator decades ago

Either way EA and BW make out in the black and someone gets what they want

Sort of.

I basically just meant the shooting and power use elemet instead of having hot key bars. So yeah just like ME3 will be like on the PC but completey different story(ies) , Massive areas on lots of planets. alot more items and so on...

So... You mean ME4?

Why make a Mass Effect MMO when you're not going to change anything  regarding game mechanics...

[ReDSH1FT]

BioWare did say that they weren't finished with the franchise once ME3 comes out, and I can definitely see a MMO being a strong possibility if SWTOR does well and if ME continues to do well.



BioWare has EA's support now, that's a lot of money that can go towards making an epic continuous universe.



And to the people refusing to drop 10-15 dollars a month for such an MMO, I gotta say, yal folks are poor. Normal people spend about that much in a day eating out at fast food joints or restaurants. If you buy 2 less beers and 2 less big macs in one month, you have your subscription fee. WOW SO HARD.

 The though of a ME MMO sends several posters on this board into a fury, claiming it would ruin everything.

According to them, it's probably the 2nd worse thing that can happen to ME, with the 1st being EA buying BioWare.

Needless to say, we all know that they would buy a ME MMO even it was an EEZO farming game.  It's the truth, no matter how much they complain they would STILL buy it.

I stopped reading after this. No. I HATE MMOs and would never buy one. I wasn't even too pleased with ME2.

That's hardly the point. How would you feel when you went to the movies, pay your ticket, but half-way through the movie, they would ask for another 5 bucks to see the rest of the movie?

Exactly...

[Iokastos]

NO..



MMOs are a waste of of RL hours. You are forced to do the same things again and again, grinding, ganking, etc with minimal roleplaying or mental exercice.

Sigle player rpgs allow to actually live inside a story, please keep it that way.

That analogy is awful.  Seriously, there's lots of different things you could've said, but that one is just rubbish.

I just picked an easy one, and the one that came to me first. Doesn't really matter what I said, you get the point, and that's how I, and others, feel.
It has nothing to do with the amount I have to pay, that's what I was trying to point out.

In turn taking away Xbox players and limiting it to PC players, losing sales.

I don't know honestly what to think about a ME MMO, I could see how it could work sure, but I wouldn't buy.. ME is great don't get me wrong but if Star Trek couldn't convince me to play one no way is ME. And I don't really see Bioware taking the MMO road with ME anyway. more likely single player sequels that can be made quicker and generate money faster.. for both Xbox and PC users

- I don't smoke
- I don't drink alcohole
- I don't eat at fast food joints

Why i don't eat at fast food joints? Because no matter what they serve i can cook that one cheaper and more tasty at home.

If you say i am poor for not eating at fast food joints.. i am saying: You just can't cook. And if i got the option to have 4 Burgers for the price of one Big Mac or Wooper or whatever... i go for the 4 of them and cook them at home, where i know the salat will be fresh and noone jerked off onto it. (And you might laugh, but we just had such a case a couple months ago where they closed down 10 Fastfood joints because people jerked off into the "special souce" and delievered that to different stores).

So yeah... call me poor... but i'd rather cook my food at home, know what i get... and then spend the money i saved like that on a new video game.. or put it into a box and save the money for a nice holiday trip or a new PC

Same goes for the monthly fee for an MMO. I rather put those 15 bucks away into a box and save them for a nice holiday trip.. and buy other games for my gaming desires... as to waste them on the same stuff i used to play 10 years ago when i was playing Everquest 1 for 12-16 hours a day (squeezing in 4 hours sleep before going to work 8 hours).

MMOs haven't really improved in the past 10 years.. and if you just got to them and thing they are great.. sure. I don't blame you. I had that one 10 years ago. But by now... they are just repeative and unoriginal.

I have no interest in playing games that I need to play on other people's time.

If they make an MMO, 1) you are not forced to play it and 2) Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 won't go away.  Just because MMO's aren't for you doesn't mean that they aren't for anybody.

[another Riposte]

You can make a MMO out of just about everything. However, that doesn't mean you should. MMO add a lot of bad things and adds very few good things. A ME MMO would be hilariously dumbed down.

[Busomjack]

I would rather see a Mass Effect fighting game or a Mass Effect kart racing game before an MMORPG.

No, I agree with the OP. I think that a ME MMO would work. I would first have to see how SWTOR would work first though.

No offense to BW but the graphics for SWTOR looks like someone tried to copy the Clone Wars style of graphics and f***ed it up.

I feel that the ME Universe would be a decent fit for an MMO. The main thing that an MMO needs is a Universe that is both deep and rich, which the ME Universe is. It's just trying to create an MMO that works and makes sense for the game Universe in question. SWTOR is primarily KOTOR based and that was turn-based combat, which pretty much all MMOs are. Personally I would like to see a real-time non-turn based combat. But that would be tricky. It's really up to BW, if they think they can pull it off then I say go for it. I won't play it. Unless it's on the 360 somehow. My PC can barely handle the Burning Crusade and it's been a while since I played WoW, years actually.
