Describe your perfect MMO.

[Aeru]

A Game where you can do anything, Challenging, Rewarding, Incredible Story, huge twist, makes total sense, easy to understand but at the same time unpredictable. You can build your own house out of your own hands, or buy one someone built. You can kill someone for even looking at you funny, make alliances, have huge pvp warfare, and once in a while a huge monster, not seen previously or to be seen in the future, a one time mob, which would take numerous people working together, as well as a story behind the monster, and people working together or fighting to be the one to receive the glory. A Game where people build the cities based on resources around them (mines, forest, water ways, ocean, dungeons, next to quest hubs) and is destroyed by the players or raging monsters (orcs, some mythical creature related to the games lore?) and can be defended or left to be destroyed. A game with never ending classes, and all related to the game. Over 100, but not a huge hassle to level up, fun and different quest for the different classes. All very unique in their own way, and you can change your class anywhere, and the games monster drops gear dependent on your level of your classes, not over or under. That is my MMORPG.

yeah because it's very immersive to talk while fighting. The two MMO's that people are listing (TERA and GW2) don't have auto-attack, so no, it's not 'moving forward'. It's moving back

TERA has auto attack... Well maybe not like "hit fight then afk" but if you hold down click it continues to do w/e is in left click, same for right click or mouse wheel. TERA is action, its complete is a lot different. Its combat is like an FPS.

GW2 has auto-attack as well, you have to select which skill to auto-attack with, though.

@ carpe there was talk of a fallout online. Honestly that would be cool. Just how would the vats system work?

Vats was a system specific to the Fallout 3 made by Bethesda and used again in New Vegas for Obsidian. FO is being made by Interplay and on a new engine with new stat and perk mechanics designed to work in a MMO scape. It wont have VATS.

Perhaps XIV, though it needs less XI players that want to play XI in XIV.

Watching your character fight for you so you can talk to your friends? Dude, seriously if you look at many of the MMO's coming out in the next year are all action-oriented where you are dodging moves or aiming yourself. It's definately a step back for me

If that's the case then I'm guessing built-in voice-chat and encouragement of vent/teamspeak would probably be in order.

XI with XIV graphics.

It's actually more skill based which I like. Healing, you actually have to target who you want to heal, not target someone nearest all party members and spam cure III.
And you can talk to party members before hand on battle plans and what kind of strategy to use.
