It looks better :P

The best game to resurrect as an MMO would be URU: COMPLETE CHRONICLES

http://www.gog.com/game/uru_complete_chronicles


for starters it was an MMO, and it is already on GOG, so those two things count in it's favour.

When another company used to stream/rent out versions of URU, they provided the MMO aspect. But they had a monthly membership fee for the service, so if it was popular and keep people subscribed that would have generated profit for them.

So only the cost of running it, if the publisher would hand over the server application and sign off on letting it be done, are issues.

GoG Galaxy...

i could imagine those little 2d sprites flying around in a spaceship shooting game boxes toward an alien life form.

something like star trek:judgement rites but with mmo option.

All the characters are pulled out from the forum user list.

There's a reason that old MMOs die. They're expensive to run. Servers like that aren't cheap and if there's not adequate enough use of them then GOG would be pissing money down the drain. Given how some MMOs are still going that are about 15 years old now, it's not simply age that's a factor. The very fact that these games died in the first place tells you all you need to know about how popular they'd be now.

As for turning them into single player games, there would need to be a significant amount of work to get those games into a suitably playable state. It would make much more sense to either make a new game based on that IP or simply start from scratch on something similar.

Ah yes, been a few weeks since this last came up. Mmo = online always, unacceptable. Single player option = rewrite the mmo, financially ruinous. End of story, move on.

I want to marry your player to mine in the MMO gog will bring, provided that it allows players' housing and marriage. This is an official, in game marriage proposition. Many MMO have this feature.
