An online RPG based on the zombie movies of George Romero?

Were talking television series, comic books, video games, and even, in this case, MMORPGs.

Whats better than passively taking in a world?

Why, actively joining into the world, of course.

Thats why this list has been assembled.

The zombie worlds outbreak steps would make for perfect level progression.

Plus, theres always the military to deal with if you want a real challenge.

Just take their idea, but make it humans versus zombies.

Mad Max

Think about it.

TheMad Maxuniverse is dying for a MMO-style game.

Yes, theresFalloutand its sequels, but theres not even aFalloutMMO, let alone aMad Maxgame.

The post-apocalyptic wasteland is perfect for exploitation when it comes to massive multiplayer games.

Imagine a Bartertown chock-full of player characters and computer merchants.

Imagine a Main Force Patrol station or a biker gang hang-out for raiding purposes.

Everything from rogue bikers to feudal states take place in those deserts!

Then theres the dying elements of modern humanity on the Sunshine coast.

They go well together, and cover one anothers weaknesses and strengths pretty well.

The PvP in this game would be incredible.

Balanced classes on similar footing, but with different weapons and fighting styles?

Individual hunter groups versus human squads?

Three or four predators versus an exoskeleton?

Now were talking fun!

For those more into raiding, well… look at the Nostromo.

Or a human colony!).

Maybe youre even hitting a Weyland-Yutani storage facility for scavenging.

Theres a lot of potential here.

Its a natural world.

Planet Of The Apes

Once again, you have a pretty good division between sides here.

The apes versus the humans (and friendly apes).

That alone makes PvP simple and easy to implement.

Judge Dredd

Speaking of perfect tie-ins,Judge Dreddeveryone.

Another positive aspect of theHarry Potteruniverse?

Its got its own house divisions which form the various factions of wizards.

Centaurs, leprechauns, goblin bankers, ghosts… theres your variety of magic-using character classes!

Legendary magical artifacts as epic weapons?

Using the grades of Hogwarts as character advancement, and using Hogwarts itself as a starter zone?

Pick up where the next (and last)Harry Potterfilm leaves off?

Go into the open time before the first fall of Voldemort?

Theres such a wide range of open space that anything could be done withHarry Potterand itd fit in universe.

Terminator

The bloom is off this rose.

That gives it a real world grounding and a universal appeal.

Maybe a successful MMO can revitalize the movie franchise?Pokemon

Lets be real.

While some may scoff atPokemonand the incredible success the franchise has been, its got fans.

Lots and lots of fans.

This is what turns a MMO into a long-running hit.

How would this work withPokemon?

It would definitely work.

Talk about your thriving PvP scene.

When it comes to upgrading weapons, simply upgrade your weapons and armor with bug technology.

When it comes to parameters,Starship Troopershas solved the problem of leveling.

When you want to raid, get the fleet to drop you on Klendathu.

When you want to train, get the fleet to drop you on Earth.

PvP is problematic, but of course theres theLOTRsolution to PvP that should solve those problems.

Anything old west

Yes, this isnt really a single property, but a genre.

Hell, just base the MMO onRed Dead Redemption, and youve got yourself a winner.

Someone call Rockstar Games and get this thing off the ground.

When it comes to characters, youve got a variety of classes and options.

Do you want to be a bank-robbing brigand or a noble lawman?

Do you want to be a mercenary or a bounty hunter?

Theres any number of properties you could adapt or adopt, but why limit yourself?

As you advance in skill, you move further and further into the formlessness of the Wild West.

When it comes to configs, the Wild West also has the best crafting system possibilities.
