A Firefly MMORPG would be great, I am just not sure how possible it is. Leave out the grafics and coding, a monumental task by themselves. There is also the liscensing. Fox would have to give permission and they have been reluctant to do so. Altough since there is a Serenity RPG that might be a way around Fox.

I am not worried about the bullet with my name on it. Just the thousands marked "Occupant".

My friend Dave works for the Game Developers The Collective, the ones who made possibly the only semi-decent Buffy game for the X-Box at the height of it's popularity (Was it a decent game? I never played it) Who knows, There's enough Browncoats out there that maybe convincing someone out there to go ahead with a regular styled game of the 'verse could happen, more often then not.

A commercial product looks unlikely to me in the near future.
There is however, this add on for the old Neverwinter Nights Game.

While it can obviously be done, I think it shouldn't be. Firefly just lacks the background to create an online universe capable of housing thousands of different players. Currently, there are only about 15 people anyone would be interested in meeting, including the crew. Only one ship anyone would want to be flying. No places the majority would ever want to visit. No greater storyline for players to interact with. Even with a great background to build upon, you can still screw it up (SWG for instance).
Besides, Firefly lacked the fanbase just to keep the show on the air. Unfortunately I can't see any reason to validate the effort and money it'll take to create a Firefly MMORPG. A single player RPG/FPS, where you can go co-op and someone can play Zoe as you play Mal, or some such, I can see working. All in all Serenity and her crew are, currently, the only draw cards the 'verse has for gamers, and that isn't enough for an MMO.

I disagree
I think that because of the "real world feel"that firefly would make an amazing MMO

I thought of the idea of designing a text based MMORPG but haven't had the time to design anything yet.

Well, the talk has been around a while as far as I can tell, I know I support the idea of a Firefly game (but on the other hand I would support the idea of Firefly themed sockpuppets at this point ;) )

You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!

I've had the idea for ages, and it would be an awesome game, Firefly is perfect for an MMO, an idea I had just now is an Online FPS, maybe even an MMOFPS, it would be interesting, and I have a love for FPS, which is one of the many reasons why the Nintendo Revolution is going to be the best thing ever for me.

If your running out of Ideas you can always join www.newage3.com and see what they have going. I was thinking of making a firefly based version of it but with some mojor changes, but I never had the time and it takes a long time to make a site similar to it.
