No. No no no. No no no no NO no no.

This is sort of the weak spot of the Idea. I don't think RPG elements work well in fighting games (It worked in SC with Chronicles of the sword, but only because I was fighting the AI; I found RPG elements rather demeaning when playing against real players online in SF4).

If abstract points determined victory, newbs could defeat veterans, and that just ruins the competitive element for me. You can apply the example to any franchise you want: what would be the point of learning how to Ex-dash-Cancel in SF4 or guard break in SC4 if the other player can just use I've-been-playing-the-game-longer-than-you points to take you down.

I love the hell out of this idea. WoW with an MK skin would one of the best things ever.

It's a no to this idea. I just don't think it would work. We're having trouble getting a solid fighting game out of the series so to take on something as big as an MMORPG would be ludricous. Plus, I don't think MK is tailored to that sort of environment though it sounds nice on paper.

In what way is MK not tailored to that environment? A huge and epic world filled with interesting characters, factions, and elaborate backstories? Yeah, that would never fly in an RPG.

"The only reason I thought of this nme, is because of the "K" and the fact that the idea am about to present....is hell foxy!

simply said, MMORPG"

I just threw up in my mouth a lil after reading this.

I gotta agree with Temp on this one.

I've always thought MK would be way better as an RPG or MMORPG than as a fighting game.

The first game was about a tournament but all the other games were about travelling through realms, adventure etc. I LOVED MK Deception's Konquest mode, it was awesome for me. I played it a lot more than I played the actual fighting part.

There's so many realms and races and clans etc I think it would be really awesome. It doesn't have to be as complex or as good as WoW, just being able to travel through the realms, explore, level up as a Lin Kuei or a Raptor or a Monk or whatever I think would be really kickass.

Not this Khaos thing, though.

THank you all for contributing, and also for waking me up from my sleep...I was wrong to post this because most of you were right...Mortal Kombat is a tournament game...it is supposed to e a one on one fighting game.
I don't know what I was thinking.

maybe it's because I started plying Runes of Magic, and I thought about Mortal Kombat instantly, and how great it would be.

however, what do you guys think, if midway created an MMORPG game tht is similar to Mortal Kombat but completely different at the same time.

it would be some sort of war between teams, with blood and stuff, different characters from Mortal Kombat, in fact, there will be soldiers and commandors with armors and stuff from strange new worlds...other than Orcs, Elves...etc

like Christopher Paolini's awesome characteristics of the Urgals.

the only similarity between the new game and mortal kombat would be, the colouring and the use of special moves like ice, fire, martial arts and ofcourse swords

UUUUUURGH....that would look totally like a Mortal Kombat spin off, it took me few minutes to type this and am not a gonna delete it.

thank you guys for sharing your thoughts...and I threw up a lil too this morning while I was studying lol!

take care yo'll

the word "MISS" floats up.

that pretty much sums up the catalyst in a revolver being shoved in my mouth....

Is "Revolver" your boyfriend's nickname?

hahahahaha no, revolver meens a gun in which takes bullets to release via hammer into my brain to stop or disrupt my brainwaves from witnessing something that should not be.

And to put thing into perspective, although im straight. Id prefer performing oral sex to a man over playing a MK RPG. Thats how much i hate this idea. glad I could put this into perspective for you

I kinda would like a PART of MK to be MMO. I would like to see an online world for the Konquest portion of the game, where your online avatar is a character in the MK Universe instead of just a name on a screen. In this world, you could go on quests to unlock alternate costumes and things like that, and even locate and challenge players online via this method by entering different buildings or rooms. A combination of online Konquest and online virtual arcade. That would be an incredible option to me, especially if they kept adding to content continually that you could find and do. Keep it as a fighter when you challenge folks or AI opponents, but other than that, the interface is strictly explorational and social in nature.

Now if MK went TOTALLY MMO, then yes, I would agree with the revolver comment. MK needs to stay a fighter.
