With only a few exceptions, there is a ton of pen-and-paper RPGs that would make kick-ass MMOGs. Why havent game companies taken advantage of these games, with their detailed settings and rich background lore, instead of trotting out the latest WoW clone? Jeffprime looks at 5 RPGs that would make great MMOGs.
Why is there no western MMOG? Why arent I facing down an hombre at high noon on a dusty street? Fortunately, theres a western RPG that would make a good online game. My choice is Deadlands, and I chose this game over other western RPGs in that Deadlands offers more than just the Old West. This game, published by Pinnacle Entertainment, has an alternate history for the gunslinging west, and adds magical and mad science elements.
Is your favorite RPG one of the 5 RPGs that would make kick-ass MMOGs?
