Hello ! im new here. Not a native english speaking guy so do forgive all the grammatical error.

i Love GoG and all its preloved game content.

Theres an idea ive been thinking for a while.

What if GoG can somehow manage to grab "old/dead mmo" and make it something like a mini server hosting or even

SP for those mmo i think it would be awesome.

I love to relive games like The Matrix Online, Wizardy Online, or CoH ? :D

Combine it with GOG Galaxy and its a win!!

Don't mind paying for it as long as i have it in my collection.

or maybe they can just make their own games.

or maybe not. xD

Thanks for reading!

Nice idea but easier said than done, and I'm not sure what percentage of GOG's userbase would really be interested. :)
Actually General discussion is a MMO already ; )

yeah probably. regarding licensing and all that.

just hoping though. Maybe .. just maybe GoG can cut a deal with "deadMMOs" dev
Not MMO-s but some multiplayer games would be good and fun, like Steam has Dota2 and CS:GO, Battle.net has Heroes of the Storm and Starcraft.

GoG own MMO.

Maybe with an old school like graphic, an adventure!

The Search For Sprites.
Just thought I'd mention Pirates of the Caribbean Online, before someone else does... ;)


(for those not aware of the in joke, after the Lucas Arts stuff came here there was a short lived campaign by the fans to get GoG to revive the game)
What a splendid idea! I approve of this! I would generally prefer resurrection of old MP servers like the Westwood games though.
I don't think that's a good Idea. MMO's need constant maintenance, the server cost itself and to keep the players interest regualar updates and events. There's probably more but the point is that MMO are pretty expensive.
Dead MMOs are usually dead because they weren't rentable anymore, due to lack in interest. Do you really think GOG would find enough paying customers who'd pay for dug up MMOs instead of any of the new ones? And that GOG would take the risk to reinvest in a game that lost it's consumers already once?

GOG actually does have that. It's called The Witcher Adventure Game

Then they also host Alien versus Predator 2000 matchmakings and some other games like Rise of Triads (2013 version).
If I was going to play an MMO I'd want it to be in here with you folks so in that respect I'm game.
Wrong sign up thread. And anyone interested needs to wait for the next one, or just play in the General Discussion one, as mike_cesara already suggested. ;-)
