Wired MMORPG: Oddworld style!

I hope the Oddworld Inhabitants are thinking about making one of the next Oddworld games a MMORPG (Perhaps Hand of Odd). It would be heaven for us Oddworld fans with Xbox Live. What do you think?

*MMORPG: Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

*then realises he hasn't got Xbox Live or cable*

Now, to actually contribute to this thread. I'd love to see Hand Of Odd like that, however I think Alf has increasingly let on that the Habitales and Faraetales are dead, although Hand Of Odd was mentioned so it possibly was just swapped over.

How did you make the words move and stuff on your post Alcar? That's awesome!!!

And back to topic, I will probably never get Xbox Live because I can't get even normal powered internet let alone high speed, as I live on the boundry of town. It sucks bad.
That is if I even want Live. I don't think I do.

what's a mmorpg

Ok, I know the words Massively Multiplayer ... etc.

But what is such a game all about? I've never played one. Is it like an adventure-game? What is the goal of such a game? What are the game-mechanics? ...

In other words: I can't tell wether I want an Oddworld MMORPG if I don't know what it is.

Imagine "Final Fantasy" with oddworld characters, environments, etc. Now throw in an imense amount of actual players over Xbox Live.

I played once to Final Fantasy and I didn't liked it, my friend told me it is because I didn't play enough, is it possible?

I'm not saying it would be just like "Final Fantasy," just the main RPG idea.

And yes Xavier, you need to play quite a bit of FF's to get in to them. But then they are the greatest.

I hope the quintology games arent going to be like that. But for another seris of Oddworld games then perhaps. But I say have the quintology stay as it is now as a regular game where we alone discover the world not as a multiplayer. And then for Hand of Odd or the others make them into online games so we could play with others since those seem to ment to be played as multiplayer. I don't think the quintology is ment for multiplayer because of their nature. Its a cool idea but for the quintology it just wouldn't work because not everyone can get that.
