Or what could happen is instead of there being tonnes of people attempting to do basically the same thing, they help eachother out ie It's *far* better to have a couple working projects instead of dozens of failed ones.

Sorry if I seem like a prick here, but the archive is filled with threads like these. It'd be nice if people would check them from *before* starting a project.

MMOs are too expensive and require too much production time for someone to take the risk. Heck, Star Wars is struggling to stay afloat as is and underwent some major re-tooling in hopes of turning a profit.

Now, with all that said, I could see a fan-based Shockwave game working. There's some decent small time games out there with on-going players and all that jazz.

well they are making mmo's out of everything, theres even a naughty american mmo coming out... (porn making company) im not saying that one will come out, but there is a pretty big chance, a mildly popuklar movie, and a show that is gaining popularity, it would make sense money wise.

ninja hat!

Hell, with all time time they have spent revamping Jedi, they could have fixed every bug in the game. I think a Firefly MMO would work much better because it isn't about an uberclass (Jedi), it is about friends/crew and all. As long as you can't play as a Psychic it would be easy to balance and play.

i did point out in another thread that with the upcoming release of Neverwinter Nights 2 with it's high mod-ability, large mod community, and the ability to create a Persistant World like that of a MMORPG, making a Firefly MMORPG would not be that hard. it would still take alot of work, but much less then starting from scratch.

isn't NN2 is a ground based fantazy rpg? don't we need somethin' with both ground and space?
Universal Combat A World Apart has both. but there's no missions and I don't know how modable it is.
Freelancer is another good choice but again no ground game. Godzero & team are makin' a Firefly full conversion mod for it.

IMO, the best thin' to do would be to make a new mmorpg Firefly game from scratch.. or just rpg with MP servers similar to that of Freelancer...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Eve Online yet. Its new server is even called Serenity.

In Eve Online you play a freighter captain, flying among the stars. You build a character with certain skill sets, then start plying your trade. The universe is huge, with a fairly complex navigational system, and a large variety of ships you can purchase. You have a reputation with the various governments that changes based on your activities in their space. You can be a pirate, mine asteroid belts, shuttle goods back and forth between planets, take missions, and probably lots of other stuff I didn't get to. I only played it for a couple weeks (free trial, might have stuck with it if I had the time to commit) but it seemed to have great potential.

If I were making a Firefly MMO, that's the model I'd look to first.
