MMORPGs That Desperately Need a Remake or Sequel
4 years ago
General
The Entire Everquest Series - Both Everquest 1 and 2 are ancient and Everquest 1 was the most, if not, one of the most popular MMOs in the VERY late 90's - early 2000's. The series suffered a severe drop in popularity not long after SoE changed their name to Daybreak. The name change isn't the main factor but could be a small reason why it happened, other reasons was probably due to them not advertising for either game after 2009 or due to the expansions after Age of Malice for EQ2 being total dogshite.
Mabinogi and Maplestory - This.. is pretty self-explanatory as to why both died in popularity sometime in the 2010's. Nexon's a shite company. Company greed was one of the biggest issues for this. Mabinogi and Maplestory, both, are unique in their own right as a MMORPG, but Mabinogi is probably the most unique MMORPG there is due to their interesting mechanic like the rebirth and aging mechanics, albeit, janky, I've never seen it in any other MMO/MMORPG. Maplestory did get a sequel, but it shut down a year after it's release, probably just due to bad timing and the fact it felt more like a Diablo rip-off than a sequel to Maplestory, honestly.
Dragon Quest X (For Remake) - Yeah, I am aware it's Japan-only but if they were to release this to the US now, it'll die as quickly as Maplestory 2 did due to many factors, like the dated graphics and mechanics. Knowing how the younger generation is about graphics, DQX would not last long in it's current state, sadly. I will say that, to the younger audience: Graphics DON'T make a good game. I've seen many pretty-looking games that were total dogshite. Story makes the game.
World of Warcraft (For Remake...By a different company) - This is for VERY obvious reasons, I don't need to explain but I will give a short summary: Everything's outdated, the company is literally one of the worst there is. Basically, the company is, currently, under fire for sexual harassment and abuse, even did some really underhanded, scummy shit to make themselves look better, such as shredding any evidence of them treating their employees like shit. Workers are on strike right now and plan to sue to company for everything it's got. I may not be a fan of WoW, at all, but I know a lot of people are going to miss that game once it's gone.
Ragnarok Online - I think there's an actual good sequel coming out for this one, if you're not sure, I'm not talking about the failure of Ragnarok Online 2, but I'd love to see this game be remade as it's.. pretty much dead. My boyfriend talks about it all the time like how it has a large selection of classes to choose from and lots of advancements as well as some quirky stuff like how you can heal people by bonking them if you wanted. I am very interested in it, but it has some things that are dealbreakers for me.
