Ok so i just thought of this RIGHT NOW!
I was looking at some DCUO Footage and thought to myself: "HOLY CRAP, AN MK MMO WOULD BE BAD ASS"
So what are your thoughts of one?
Here's how i think it should go down:
Character:
Ive noticed MMO's are like REALLY big on Character customization, so here's how i would set it up:
Sex - Pretty simple, just choose your characters sex.
Body Type- Choose how big or small you want your character to be.
Gear- Here you will choose your character's look (Like whether they have shoulder pads, Loin cloths, Mask/No Mask, and things of that Nature), But not EVERYTHING is going to be unlocked of course, you will have to do some Raids and other challenges or whatever an MMO incorporates to unlock stuff.
Powers- Here you will choose your power, Depending on the primary power you choose, it will determine what abilities could be available to you (Example: Primary Power: Telekinesis, Abilities: TK Slam, Levitation, Etc.) Also abilities can also be upgraded by gaining points on Missions, Raids, Battles, Etc ( will be talked about soon), and once the appropriate level is reached, you will be able to choose a Secondary Power.
NOTE ON POWERS: Gunman or whatever you call anyone with armory is considered a power as well, Guns, Abilities, Nades will be a apart of the abilities.
Fighting Style- Here you will choose your fighting style, since the game will obviously be in 3rd-Person, this is kind of tough to think about. (Maybe you guys can help me out a bit here?)
And Finally... Your characters name!: Pretty simple, just name your character.
Also i'm kind of interested on names you guys come up with for your character, if you dont mind ;). Anything i missed? tell me and i'll add it.
NOTE: THIS THREAD IS NOT COMPLETED YET, I am still in the process of thinking this through, i want this MMO idea to be well thought through and not make me looking like i'm typing out of my ass.
Story: Gameplay: Enviroment: Other things i will think about while i keep doing this thread:

What the fuck are you talking about?

If you know what MMO means, you'll understand what he's talking about.
He's talking about making Mortal Kombat a "Massively Multiplayer Online" game, such as World of Warcraft and all those other games... Even though WoW is technically and MMORPG...
To be honest, I don't think I'll quite enjoy MK as an MMO becuase it just wouldn't feel anything like the game. Though maybe you could convince me that it could play the same if you actually list your ideas on how to make it an MMO.
I'd be open to it. Of course it won't feel like an MK game though, because it's not strictly a fighting game. You'd have to know what you're signing up for when you play it, otherwise you're in for quite a shock. Just like Pat Robertson when the hellfire doesn't rain down on Disney World.... He's just shocked.
I think it'd be kind of fun to have an MK MMO, though character creation would have to be emphasized, because I don't want to play Mileena and run into thirty other Mileena's every ten minutes. If they somehow managed to balance the Armageddon style character creation while making it as in depth and varied as possible, it'd be very interesting to play the game with everyone's personal fighting styles. That is, of course, if they make it a MMO fighting game in an open MK world where pvp is important. It wouldn't work in a game where you fight monsters/npc's or do raids or something... Because that becomes impossible to balance and maintain any sort of strategic element... So it'd have to be purely pvp in this case.
If they did an RPG, it would also be fun to explore in a fleshed out MK world with classes based on MK archetypes. Lin Kuei, Shokan, some kind of twin dagger class that merges elements of Mileena, Skarlet, etc... And molds them to fit an rpg combat system.
Frankly, I don't think the MK team is capable of putting that much effort into something though...

As much as I like MMOs and MMORPGs...I would rather have MK RPG first. Then if the RPG was good (Not asking for a MK version of DA:O or Mass Effect, but at least something decent) and proving that the MK team can make something other than fighting games, then create the MMO or MMORPG. But to be honest, I don't see Neatherrealm Studios taking up either challenge anytime soon.

Yea i agree, but it would be cool if they did.... ima post up my details @ probably Midnight.
I like the idea of maybe implementing some kind of customized feature for characters garments although I wouldn't want to become too outlandish like making Johnny Cage wearing a "JOHNNY" tattoo across his chest and putting poke a dot circles shirts Jax. But that could be a good feature to add to Mortal Kombats characters.
I would also imply that Mortal Kombat's character still should retain their primary costumes and to add the customized look maybe as alternates for their costumes.

It would be cool to customize characters like in Tekken 6. Change the characters costume colors and add accessories and stuff like that.

Oh, I remember having made a whole thread about this in ancient times, back in the MK Armageddon days... I fully support an MK MMORPG.
You can read about my ideas here!
Remember not to bump the thread, as it is rather old.

I am both a Mortal Kombat and a World of Warcraft fan. Since MK Deception's Konquest mode where Shujinko runs around and "does quests", I have thought how cool it would be to make a Mortal Kombat mass-multiplayer-online-role-playing-game, an MMORPG. Ideas has run through my heads and I have written ideas down, trashed them, wrote new ones and so on, until I found the best result.
Timeline:
At first I was in doubt of when the MMORPG would happen in the MK timeline. The easiest way to make factions would be, if the timeline was when Shao Kahn was an emperor of Outworld, in MK2-Trilogy. Then there would be a good-side faction and an evil-side faction. But It didn't seem realistic to have thousands of humans and thousands of Edenians, thousands of Outworldians and thousands of Tarkatans to run around, beating eachother up at that time... So I had to change the timeline...
Then Armageddon came out! After having played and complete it with all characters, I think I have picked the perfect timeline for the MMORPG: After Armageddon. Let us say that Taven's ending is true... That nothing happened when he killed Blaze. The warriors would go to each their own and the war would continue. But this time its tougher than ever!
Below you'll read how things are going in the different factions at this point. I haven't found a place for all characters yet, so please be patient with me. I will also make a list of those who has died, but then again, no one really dies in MK, so they'll have a chance to make it to the game :)
Here goes:

Character creation:
The character creation is somewhat like Kreate-a-kharakter from MK Armageddon, but more class-specific. Clothing in this MMORPG won't have that much to do with the character stats, though some outfits may have +armour. Also more outfits can be found and unlocked throughout the game and you will be able to change your character's appearance, though not the physiques, like body, face, hair and such. Both male and female can be chosen of each class.
Each class has class-specific moves to unlock, but they can also learn moves from their travels, making each character individual.
Weaponry:
You will not start out with a weapon, but as you progress throughout the game you will pick up various of weapons, and then at some point early in the game, you will have to choose what weapon you will specialize in, and so your character developes moves for that weapon.
Special moves:
The special moves you develope depends on how you develope your character. If he is very aggressive in melee combat, he will have strength and melee based special moves, and if he is very defensive, he will get special moves to protect himself etc. It also depends on where you train your character. If you train your character in Edenia, you will obtain magicks from that realm and certain moves will be unlocked for you to choose from.
Class speculation:
Red Dragon Clan - At first I wanted the Red Dragon clan to be a class you could choose, instead of the Tekunin, but they are too similar to the Black Dragon class, also then I would have human-race only classes in Earthrealm which I think would be rather boring. So instead I think the Red Dragons would be better to have as antagonists.
Cursed Centaurians - Like Motaro was in Armageddon with two legs. But first of all, I did not choose them to be a playable class, because I hate what they did to Motaro, though understandable seeing from the MK team's point of view. So they are antagonists, and I think it would be cool to see both cursed and four-legged Centaurians in the MMORPG. Second, I thought it would be too much with having both Shokan and Centaurians as playable classes as they are very similar in both style and manner.
Vampires - It would be very cool to be able to be a Vampire in the MMORPG, and it would also be easy to make them fit into the game because of the lack of lore... You could do anything to them, really! But then I thought of some complications, as they are vulnerable to the Earthrealm sun, so they won't be able to wander around there, and it would also be tiresome to hide everytime the sun was up. So they shall be antagonists in Outworld.
Oni - Well, the only Oni's known to have been to other places than the Netherrealm are Drahmin and Moloch, so it is limited how many others who even know of the other realms. Besides, as you can read below, I have other plans for the Netherrealm inhabitants, so I'll leave this here for now.
Other realms:
Netherrealm - In WOW (World of Warcraft) when someone dies, they come back as a ghost at the nearest ressurection point, and then you can either choose to ressurect there or find your body... I wanted to do something else with the MK MMORPG, so instead of running around playing hide and seek with a dead body, it would be cool to ressurected in the Netherrealm! From there, you have to fight your way back to a portal that will lead you to the nearest safe point of your death.
Heaven - This started basically like the Netherrealm idea, but it just seem unrealistic to come to eaven and fight your way back to life. I am still unsure about how the Heavenrealm should be like, but I have thought of making the corrupt Raiden fight the Elder Gods, and when you arrive at the Heavenrealm you choose either to help the Elder Gods defeat Raiden or help Raiden defeat the Elder Gods...
Orderrealm/Chaosrealm - Orderrealm and Chaosrealm have a constant war while they also have problems within their own realms. Orderrealm has the Seidan Guards to protect and uphold the law of Order while the Resistance led by Darrius tries to stop the oppression of the people. Chaosrealm is invaded by Seidan Guards and the two tribes fight one another in a constant battle. The two realms would mainly work as zones to make quests in.
Gameplay:
I think the gameplay should work as an evolved version of MK Armageddon, MK Deception and MK Shaolin Monks gameplay. You should be able to run around and do some quests, fight with your moves while you walk around, and when a greater NPC comes forth, it will be in real MK style, like when Taven fought those who challenged him in MK Armageddon. You could also duel with friendly and those from other factions in the same way.
I think that was all... Please state your oppinion of this idea and come with your own ideas to an MMORPG. I think an MMORPG of Mortal Kombat could be very possible and it is also possible to make this game come true. Besides, MMORPG is a genre very popular today and may be how future games will be like!

Heaven - This started basically like the Netherrealm idea, but it just seem unrealistic to come to eaven and fight your way back to life. I am still unsure about how the Heavenrealm should be like, but I have thought of making the corrupt Raiden fight the Elder Gods, and when you arrive at the Heavenrealm you choose either to help the Elder Gods defeat Raiden or help Raiden defeat the Elder Gods...
Orderrealm/Chaosrealm - Orderrealm and Chaosrealm have a constant war while they also have problems within their own realms. Orderrealm has the Seidan Guards to protect and uphold the law of Order while the Resistance led by Darrius tries to stop the oppression of the people. Chaosrealm is invaded by Seidan Guards and the two tribes fight one another in a constant battle. The two realms would mainly work as zones to make quests in.
Gameplay:
I think the gameplay should work as an evolved version of MK Armageddon, MK Deception and MK Shaolin Monks gameplay. You should be able to run around and do some quests, fight with your moves while you walk around, and when a greater NPC comes forth, it will be in real MK style, like when Taven fought those who challenged him in MK Armageddon. You could also duel with friendly and those from other factions in the same way.
I think that was all... Please state your oppinion of this idea and come with your own ideas to an MMORPG. I think an MMORPG of Mortal Kombat could be very possible and it is also possible to make this game come true. Besides, MMORPG is a genre very popular today and may be how future games will be like!

It could be the first fighting MMO. This idea had to have crossed Ed Boon's mind or at least someone at WB.
