Im racist towards MMO's. I really can't tell them apart. I think this genre is long overdue for a inovation and out of these 8 I would have put my money on Shenmue online.

Alternately: 8 MMO's that would've been crushed by stupid ol' WoW.
I'm still holding out hope for Marvel Online, though.

p.s. anyone else shocked Tyler Nagata didn't write this article?

i personally cant see how a marvel or or halo mmo would have worked...fallout however i could quite easily see making a good transition into the mmo world...it already has more then enough rpg elements that can be adjusted to suit mmo...u already loot stuff kill to lvl trade stuff...cant be too hard to create??

Just because the thing an MMO is based on is interesting doesn't mean the MMO will be good. How would a Halo MMO work and what would it innovate? That being said, a Fallout MMO would work quite well and might be a good game.

Marvel Online is the only one that would have been any good, and I'm not just saying that because I have Hulk for my avatar...

Wierd, my and one of my buds just were talking 2 days ago saying they should have made a Fallout online game, Bethesda would have been hella rich. Also we said we were surprised Bungie never thoughgt to make some agreement to make an MMO for Halo...but from what I saw from ensemble right there I'm glad it was canned, I hate WoW gameplay.

Hmm interesting, I remember hearing things about Mythos. If I were out in the wasteland shooting things while seeing other people walking by or helping me out, that would be totally awesome.

I was referring to Fallout MMO there. Was just thinking since it didn't make this list, maybe there's a MMO RTS out there in development?! You could have each player pick a side and fight over territory in a RISK like interface and then get into the real time part when attacking/defending a territory!

GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!! I WANT A HALO MMO!!!!!!!!

the Halo MMO woulda been gay, i can't really imagine myself playing it. Halo is cool, but an MMO isn't really cool.

MMOs are a dime-a-dozen anyhow. Their audience are the most insatiable out there, and half of these cancelled games would of only held interest for a little while. No real loss..

A Fallout MMO is the best idea ever!

Oh Firefly... I would have killed for that =(

But I'd kill even more for a Fallout MMO ^_^
