Isn't there already a Mechwarrior "mmo"? I mean, mechwarrior never really had a story. It was mission: defeat other mechs. Granted MWO is purely pvp, so I'm guessing you're looking for a pve experience with a story. Which is really what we're looking for.

What about Wing Commander?

Personally I'd like an mmo that didn't put so much value in survival, or building. Main reason I fucking hate playing those types of games (Ark, Conan, etc). I'd rather the developers built the castles, and let me get straight to infiltrating with buddies. I realize some people enjoy level building, but that shit just isn't for me. I'd rather get paid to do that part.

Mechwarrior or Battletech has HUGE VOLUMES of story available. You do realize it was a pen and paper RPG for decades prior to being a video game right? MWO is not an MMO. It's nothing more than a PVP arena.

Clicked this thread just to see if anyone said Shadowrun. Glad it got at least a little love, why they made a shit twirl FPS is beyond me.

Aren't there too many licensing issues with this?

That said I would love to see a legit story driven MMO with 'mech-lite' combat (ie a bit faster paced).

Yeah, there's some shitty Battletech licensing issues since they used some fanmade mechs early in the franchise.

Played the shit out of the Battletech card game back in the 90s, was fun shit.

That King Henry guy would be fun I guess. All sorts of mancers, werewolves, vampires, oh my.

I don't want to play a fat human even if he is a level 500 writer with epics. I know you meant one his individual "worlds" or the Cosmere as a whole, but couldn't pass it up.

I'd forgotten about the Deathgate Cycle. That would be a great setting.

Second this. That was a downright amazing series and would make for an amazing faction vs faction environment for a mmo

Star Wars with great crafting broken combat and no playable jedis til you jump thru 100 hoops to unlock them and they perma-die if killed in combat.
