Multiverse to reveal (and probably never release) Buffy MMO

I would. Why? Lesbians.

Why did I get voted down for asking if people would play this?

I would play this as I think it would have the potential to make a pretty cool PvE kung-fu style combat system.

There are lots of Slayers in the Buffy Universe afaik like Faith, Buffy, umm the whole bunch of slayers that formed that army in Season 6 or 7 something like that.

I'd love to see a kung-fu system similar ot the Matrix where you gain skill points as you gain levels and choose a particular discipline like Jujitsu, Judo, Karate, etc.

Each having their own advantages regarding speed, strength etc and you could have a 'roll' system with multiple attack angles similar to the Matrix Online. Honestly, out of all the mmorpgs out there, the Matrix Online was one of the combat systems I enjoyed the best.

The only part I really disliked about it was that if three people were attacking one enemy, you'd have to take-turns. Party member 1 attacks, enemy retaliates, party member 2 attacks, enemy retailates, party member 3 attacks, enemy retailiates.

That is kind of silly I think compared to real-life where if three guys are attacking you they won't 'take turns' giving the enemy a fair chance by engaging one at a time. They would just all attack at once and basically gang-stomp them if it was a fight between life and death.

With that battle system made the only advantage of partying being that your party overall would have more hitpoints then if it was party member 1 attacks, enemy retailates, party member 1 attacks, enemy retailiates, party member 1 attacks, enemy retailiates as each retaliation would be directed at the same character.

I believe you got voted down for making the assumption that nobody cares about Buffy because it's "old".

I voted you down just now because I wanted to be part of the crowd...and because you didn't think first about the lesbians!

I believe the vote down was, in fact, the answer to your question.

You have no idea how unbelievably wrong you are.

Joss Whedon is the anti-awesome.

(admission: Dr. Horrible was ok)

Apparently my opinion is unpopular. Here's some additional downvote fodder:

Chrono Trigger blew
Blizzard is lackluster
Yahtzee's an idiot
I'm voting independent
Every season of The Simpsons is quality
There's nothing wrong with third-party support for the Wii
I love and support DRM
I support the war
What do you guys have against the Patriot Act?
My penis is bigger than yours (I'm talking to you, Saria and xoviet chik!)
Joystiq sucks

BURN THE INFIDEL!

J/k, Inch...here, I'll sort of join you.

FFVII sucked.

No Country for Old Men sucked, all except for Anton's scary-ness.

I still support our troops despite the fact that I think the war itself is a lost cause.

I'm not voting at all this year, unless it is to write in Voltron...he never spoke; just slashed enemies in half with a sword...THAT'S the kind of President we need!

It didn't work too well as a TV series or movie either.

I think it would have worked better than Star Wars did or Star Trek in principle.
Everyone wanted to be a Jedi and everyone will want to own a large warship. Tons of Jedi or Enterprises bombing around doesn't work within the fiction.

Everybody can't be the one saviour of the Galaxy at once.

Whereas with Firefly you've got a small ship of mostly ordinary people making their way in a rough universe trading and fighting.

That scales up to Massive much more easily.

Buffy wouldn't work though. Exactly how many thousand Slayers do we need in one small town?

You kidding? Firefly would work great as a MMORPG. You could play as a member of a group of paid bandits (like the crew of Serenity), as a bounty hunter (like Jubal Early), as an Alliance man (like the Hands of Blue), as a crime lord (like Niska or Badger) and so much more. Settings with few major heroes work best for massive games.

I wouldn't worry about hundreds of slayers running around. First off, with all potentials becoming slayers you could easily have alot. Also people would want to vamps, or kick ass witch. Some would want to be a demon, or even a useless carpenter (Party in my eye socket!), an evil lawyer, or just a kick ass mortal like a Gunn or Scruffy Wesley, or an annoying little sister (OK maybe not)

The game should probably be PVP based, slayers fighting vamp and demons. You could also be a good demon (Clem...just keep your kittens away). With all the slayers running around, you culd keep within the fiction, and not have to fight or be characters from the show. It could take place after Season 5 of Angel.

Me too. That guy knows *everybody*!

Profanity in my joystiq?

I more like it than you think.

It's his sullen Mick Jagger face, I guess. I think it's usually reserved for when he's singing at open-mic night.

*No way.

Give it time. Considering sinc etwilight mostly consist of people almost having sex and then talking for 5 hours about how much they want to do each other but never can, second life could stand in quite easily.
