Topic: Legend of Zelda: MMORPG

[Ness_the_Mess]

I don't know if any of you follow the PC news, but if you have been, you will realise there has been a recent surge of games called MMORPGs, or, massively multiplayer online role playing games.  In these games, there are very few NPCs, and almost the only computer controlled players are monsters.  I propose a Zelda version (for the next console, of course).

At the end of Wind Waker, Old Hyrule becomes flooded, right?  Well, thats the best place to start.  You see, when MMORPGs first start out, there is very little to look at.  This is because shops are opened by PLAYERS, entire cities are slowly made, and a world slowly comes into reality.  So, this MMORPG could be made as the re-civilization of the world.  Different playable races could be Goron (there would be few of these, as they didn't appear in WW), Zoras (Which I think there would be bountiful of, as the entire world was flooded with water.  Surely they had secret villiages), the flying race from WW (I'm horrible with memory), Hylian, of course, possibly Deku, and that's all I can think of.

Any thoughts?

Ideas?

Gorons were in WW btw, they were the traders.
The flying race are the Rito (evolved from Zoras)

I think a mmporpg based on the Zelda universe would be nice, but you couldnt be Link or Zelda or any other specific character. You wouldnt be able to get the master sword or the triforce since there is only one. I just think it would be too hard to do this game right.

You would have to make it similar to the Zelda games, but different enough to be playable as a mmporpg.

I would rather have a mmporpg based on Pokemon.

Well in Galaxies not everyone (almost noone) has a lightsabre.  Noone is luke, or leia, or han, or chewie, or vader, or maul, or anakin, ... etc, etc, etc.

It would work.  Nintendo won't do it, but it would work.

Oh God no... No Zelda MMORPGs.  All you are going to get is a bunch of players talking about how 1337 they are, twinking L1 characters who can beat the average L10 characters, massive amount of PKing, and other sort of annoying practices found in MMORPGs.  Besides, the gamer would have to pay some sort of monthly fee to play a game that most likely won't be similar to a typical Zelda game at all.  If the series survives the next two "GC" games that are coming out, a MMORPG is going to do it in.
