Carmack turned down Quake MMO offers

Cue ppl remembering how they used to play Quake on MPlayer back in the 'day and how a Quake MMO would be like sooooo totally awesome. :)

Ah, don't be mean to poor Lord British. (Seriously, he'll start hitting people with his cane again and rambling about the days when software came in baggies)

Argh, its so odd for me to hear these guys mentioned as game developers. I am more used to Carmack working on Armadillo Aerospace, or Garriott hitching a ride to the ISS on the next Soyuz flight. Did you know his father was an astronaut in the Apollo days and flew on Skylab 3?

I keep seeing LFG, but I have no idea what it stands for. Can anyone clue me in?

Not to mention an MMO FPS already exists...

(Planet side Says hello)

That's hilarious, because Quake was described in a manner very similar to an MMO in some of the old .plan files.

Fully persistent multi-server world.

Ooo...nice Tenebrae screenshot. I urge anyone who has Quake for PC to download Tenebrae. Damn...that game looks amazing with Tenebrae.

Quake would be an interesting setting for an MMO (not that i'd actually ever play an MMO, but as an observer).

I miss the times when games could have totally artificial and incohrent settings, purely created to make a cool game. These days everything has to be realistic. (part of the reason doom3 sucked compared to 1&2).

An MMO with the totally schizophrenic settings of quake would be interesting.

Though, kind of like that upcoming horror MMO, i wonder how much people will want to hang around in a relentlessly dark environment.. If i'm paying to hang out and chat then i'd probably like to have some cheerful, fun places to hang out.

I want a randomly generated, quake style, persistent world online shooter.. where we can upload our own levels and affect each other's levels dynamically.
