Considering all the original IP MMORPGs have been pretty derivative, I would hazard to say that the limit to game potential isn't based on the use of existing IPs, but more on developers' inability to produce original gameplay.
Hence the question. Â What IP do people think would make a good MMORPG that we haven't been discussing? Â The fact is that there's a lot of intellectual property out there that would make an incredibly original MMORPG, especially considering the market. Â Would it be more original for someone to make another sword-and-sorcery fantasy MMORPG with an original title or for Capcom to make a Mega Man MMORPG? Â I know which one of those we've seen a lot more of and which would be more exciting.
