I just had this crazy idea- what if there was a Mortalkombat MMORPG?
That would be awesome, and hear's how I would make it.
First you create your account and then create your fighter, Armageddon-style.
Then, you'll choose your race, birth realm, element, and status. That's the set-up for your character.
Next, you play the game. It'll be an interactive environment where you can view other people as they can view you. You can challenge these people to Mortal Kombat, where each victory raises your stats, and reputation, and experience. With a higher reputation, you can do missions that are harder and harder. When you start, you will find trainers and learn according to you race,realm,element, and status. For example, if a good guy from Earthrealm was to be training ice, you would search for Sub-Zero. But, if the same guy was created as a villain, you would find Frost.
There would also be a level system. You level up every time your exp. bar is completely filled. You raise exp. by fighting others(and winning), completing quests, training others, and asissting your clan. The higher your level, the more skills you can train.
Now, here's where it gets really interactive. When you reach a high level and master every skill you can, you may create a clan. You can choose who will be accepted. You must run this clan by giving people jobs, recruiting people, and creating plans. You can create a plan and then execute a meeting. When the executed, a message would be sent to every online member in your clan. Plans can be for things like, stealing from someone, ambushing an enemy, or attacking another clan. That's right, you could attack another clan. Two clans can go to war, and everyone would fight enemies in Mortal kombat! To do this stuff, you must build a base for your clan. Also, clan members may betray their clan. In the middle of a war, you can retreat on your own and attack your clan's base. They can either boot you, or they can kill you. When you die, you will lose a level, and exp.points, depending on how close or far the level difference is.
This would take years to make, but it does sound like a cool game doesn't it?
