If GTA does have online or someday will, I so hope it does my idea, keep reading for some mind blowing potential.

I came up with MMOPGTA back between 2002 and 2003 when I was coming up with the idea of GTA being an online game. Even had several pages wrote out on ideas and possibilities, this was before the PS3 was even offically announced. This was planned for PS2. Anyways. My idea did include episodic downloads of missions and storyline added to your bought game. Along with that, there would be monthly up dates with cities being added on, or the cities/enviorments changing with new buildings, new character, new cars, almost any thing in the game could be updated or added. But it not having to be downloads, it would just be updates to online levels /cities just like WOW. Eliminating having to download stuff.

Really my main idea was baicly build a system that allowed players to work up in ranks and become the bosses giving the missions. You're new to the game, you create your own character from the start, you start out as a lonely petty thief/criminal or you can be a cop. You work your way up the ladder by doing jobs for other players or AI characters. the higher in rank you get, the more abilities you get, the more respect you get, and the bigger the missions. Such a mission a "real-life" boss could give you is to take our a rival gang member and earn respect that way. You dont even have to do missions, you can just be a average citizen or just stay a low time criminal or work your way up the ladder your own way. This leaves the gang wide open. Take on the biggest gangs and mobs in the city in one shot if you life. When you die by failing a mission, you get knocked down a rank. Of course missions can be present to a limit for the bosses to choose from to give you. But also there could be text message missions, or talk to the players through mic with present voices for your character.

With a map of several hundred players to it, it would be alot of fun and really theres no way there could be that much havoc created if the world is big enough, say 3 times bigger than San Andreas.

Another cool thing is start your own gang or mob with real life players, the ability becomes avaible. when you work up to a boss rank. And you can contact gang members by mic "cell phones" or text message. Just pick in a communication screen "phone" or "text" so and so.

there are so many possiblities you can do with a MMPOGTA game that its mind blowing and this would be the biggest game ever! blowing stuff like WOW away.

Stuff that can be updated for the map/game for online:
-store products you can by (clothes, weapons,ext)
-cars, vehicles,
-advertisments (perfect for in-game life advertisment)
-New Character creation options
-new enviorments, new buildings, new AI characters
-car costumizations
-weather!
-world events, such as put in big accidents or events into the game like someone famous coming to town, or building/bridge construction (say when a new building is being made, it goes under construction for a few days or a week before we can access it), terrorists attacks, anything you can think of.
-personal updates, say if your gang or mob boss was killed and knocked out of their ranks, you get updated on it and have to choose a differnt path (There is no single path to follow)

can you guys think of anymore?

There is so much more I could talk about on this. Now I know something like this is way out there, but if it is possible, them R* by all means DO IT!

as those thinking about players causing havoc to try and kill as many players as possible.well use the tips used in other guys with players that do this. And if your character respawns in random locations each time you die, then "camping" at a spot to shoot you again will be eliminated.

These are definitely interesting ideas. I'm not sure about actually becoming the guy who gives missions--that's a cool idea but I don't know how well it would work, I never really thought about it before but GTA online is a great idea. Hopefully they'd have a changing environment like you said and new things constantly being added to the world. It would definitely get chaotic but that's what GTA's always been about--you're always in the most dangerous city in the world, this would be way crazier though. People would constantly be breaking into your house to rob you and everyone in the streets would beat you for no reason, it'd be tough to get anything accomplished. I'm not sure how they would minimize random violence so you could actually focus on progressing in the game. I'm intrigued to see if they could actually pull something like this off.

there would be hundreds and hundreds of places you could get as hide outs. From mansions down to barns. Even apartments. Take a sky scraper building that has around 100 apartments in it. Each player can pick a place. But as in real life you could only choose one place to own, that you can cant take up every aviable living space.

Your ideas have potentional... though think of what Mr. Jack Thompson would do if he'd find out a game like this. There would be alot of politcal debates about this game...and Rockstar getting sued like usuall. They should put a monthly fee on this game like most MMO's and it should be rated mature. No regional servers I hope. And the fee payment trough credidt card. I can only see a game like this appearing on the market if they be more strict about selling it to childeren.

Like in real Life I can own more than one place and if a game like this happened then I would want to own more than one Hide-Out, keep it limited or the cost for them high so its still a big task to own just one let alone two or ten.

My thoughts - In online, it would be cool to have a deathmatch using airplanes and Helicopters (ig: Hydra, Hunter)

And have a CTF mode, using vehicles, and aircrafts. Making the CTF span across the map, getting the flag back to your base by any means necessary, like using Sanchez's to go cross Hydra to get the flag back, but be warned, some n00b awaits with an RPG, while another n00b is chasing you in a another Hydra. That would be awesome. Or maybe substitute the flag for drugs or money. What i also would like to see online would be MASSIVE gang wars, (about 50 people per side) and have an all out brawl kind of like in The Warriors. no guns, just muscle. Those are just a couple of ideas, extreme, but possible.

There is actually a game in development currently titled Crime Online with almost exactly the same features. I haven't heard anything about it for at least a year, but I expect more info in the future. Your ideas would be awesome in GTA IV, but I think I would miss the epic SP story Rockstar is known for.

never heard of Crime online but APB (all points bulletin) is a game that many think is exactly like this from the former creator of GTA, but its only for PC and X-box360 and from my research of the game, it seems to be just more of a cops vs gang war game. Not as deep as my idea for GTA online but even if there was another game like this coming out from another company, R* could still do this with the GTA franchice.

Why not? I mean creativity isn't taught in Game Development Schools. Game devs were imaginative way before they learned how to materialize their ideas. Therefore, creativity is attainable by everybody who has a brain. I'd personally love to see devs pay more attention to their clientele's creativity.

Take this TC's idea. It's just great! It's not our job to determine what's workable in it and what's not. He thought about something, posted it and wants feedback on it. Period. Me, I love it. And if I was a mod, I'd make sure that one "I had this idea..." thread by board would get the "stick".
