I don’t think people get the fact that just because it’s an online game means it has to be a level grinding nightmare. I’d love a Zelda online, but I wouldn’t want it to be some cheap rendition and having it end up like WOW or Guild Wars.

Therefore I suggest a new category of games instead of an MMORPG

MMORPG – Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game – Slow paced, level grinding, lots of armor to boost stats, etc

MMOAG – Massivly Multiplayer Online Action Game – The game plays like an offline action game, but you can play it online with friends.

An MMOAG wouldn’t be bad, and not out of the question. A new kind of online gaming experience. An online action game of Zelda would continue the style of gameplay for the offline games, such as finding pieces of heart, a lock-on-target mode, secret techniques. So just because it’s an MMO doesn’t mean it has to be a torturously detailed RPG.

They have found a great recipe for storytelling and gameplay. To change that into something totally different runs the risk of ruining it for a lot of people. Or if not ruined, just shunned and ignored.

That’s exactly my point. The games are so fondly remembered and the recipe so finely tuned, that to tamper with it would be ruin it completely. Like putting a wrench in mamma’s special secret recipe pasta sauce or smething…

I whole heartedly agree. The Zelda series is..”magical” for lack of a better term. They have found a great recipe for storytelling and gameplay. To change that into something totally different runs the risk of ruining it for a lot of people. Or if not ruined, just shunned and ignored. While some games I think would benefit from an MMO experience (I’ve thought about a Battletech/Mechwarrior one. I would never leave the computer evAr), but for most games it would just change what made them good in the first place.
