i wish there was a crystal chronicles MMO... but noooooooo... lets keep local multiplayer only, so i can only play alone (stupid CC and nintendo hater friends >_>)
I've heard that Monster Hunter 3 may work similarly to Guild Wars. While not a true MMO, it's still really fun.psychobrew
god i love guild wars...crackin games. it would be great if MH3 is similar (though, i hope it doesent require a monthly fee....one of the great things about GW). they could do something like runescape in terms of technology. most of the data is streamed down as u play and the client is very small. it would mean updates would only need to be applied to the server and the latest version would automatically come down as u play. a small client might need to be stored in wiis memory for low level running of the game..but thats it. as for somethign like GW or WOW....not a chance. MMOs need lots of storage for updates and such like. EG GW was origonall aroud 1GB in size. its now 3GB in size with tons of added features and extra content.
i have a wii and love it but to be honest if sony and microsoft are having trouble with large scale rpg games then nintendo doesnt have a snowballs chance in he!!
Exactly as mentioned. If you consider GUild Wars to be an MMO (people don't because it's not a seamless world) then Monster Hunter 3 is right up your alley.
i do not think monster hunter 3 is going to be a massive mutlieplayer like wow or war, its probly going to be like a small party of 4-8 or something like that. but that would be amazing if the wii had a big mmo with great wifi connection, and a large community.
Not a chance. To be honest, Wii online leaves a lot to be desired, not even close to as efficient as Live. I don't like the whole numbers thing, it makes it a pain...

You do know you can play Echoes of Times online so it would be a problem this time around, also hopefully someone will do one in the future(I wouldn't mind a 2D one).
I'm sure that Nintendo is MORE THEN CAPEABLE of creating an MMORPG for a Wii. I mean, they made Phantasy Stan Online on the GameCube and that worked just well, so I really don't see what's stopping them from making an MMORPG on the Wii.

The Wii has the most lacking online community of any of the current consoles, so I'm pretty sure the Wii will be the LEAST likely console with have an MMORPG.
I don't think they would make an MMORPG for the Wii, I could be wrong, it would be damn cool.Rockshy
Ive said it before and ill say it again, and im sure others will agree. Pokemon MMORPG... it fits so well i think its stupid they havent done it lol. I dont think it will happen, since Nitnendo havent released a true pokemon rgp on a main console but yeah. I only liked red/blue and yellow. The rest were meh after the first 150 or whatever. but the RPG is solid and the mechanics are there for both an mmo and a console rpg entry.
I love my Wii but I would never buy an MMO on it. Not only would it be laggy, Nintendo would never let it have any form of communication or updates. Like I said I love my Wii but I haven't played a game online on it since last summer on the Conduit.
Theres as already mentioned monsters hunter 3 coming thats like a group-mmo but its not a mmorpg,i dont think we'll ever see one for the wii,it doesn't suit the system or it's audience,except maybe 500 people.
I don't think there should be. To me, MMORPGs are for people who can't make make friends in real life. The Wii was designed to play with your real friends!! That's probably why Nintendo puts little time into designing better online play options for their games!
