Tmnt - mmo?

LeoBlades · 03-27-2015, 03:51 AM

Why has there never been a TMNT MMO created? I mean it works as an RPG (a'la D&D), so it has the potential to work.

You could have various factions to choose from:

Mutants & Humans (good)
Purple Dragons (Evil)
Utroms/Triceratons (Nuetral)
Footclan (Evil)

Obviously with the ability to choose what type of mutant animal (through a selection) the sex, and what class you would like to be. Obviously depending which faction you choose, various characters can train you on different classes (e.g. Raphael trains in Tank Class)

There would also be plenty of locations as well: New York, Off Planet, Technodrome.

With various places allowing for teleport, e.g. TCRI building and Technodrome.

Sorry, I'm just throwing down idea's here, but just so surprised after things like DC Universe and Marvels attempts at MMO's, why hasn't anyone tried for a Turtles MMO?

MMO's are a ton of work to produce and maintain.... a company needs a solid plan to make them profitable... simply going people like X so lets make a MMO base on X is a sure way to lose money... plus i'm pretty sure TMNT fan base is no where near as big as the DC marvel fan bases

that said if they ever do make one i'de check it out but i doubt i'de stay long.... don't want to be sucked into the time sink that is a MMO game...

A mmo set in the same setting as Palladium's TMNT and Other Strangeness would have been pretty cool, but I don't think the Turtles' world in itself isn't big enough to house a mmo world compared to franchises like Warcraft, D&D which have two mmos with different settings, Conan and the Hyborian age.

It's a bit like Champions Online or DC Universe, it's a big world with name brand cgphavarers that live there (as NPCs) but they aren't the main focus.

I honestly can't a TMNT mmo work, imo. The universe isn't as big compared to DC or Marvel.

Well, hold on a second, the TMNT universe is pretty big, mind you:
- New York
- Dimension X
- Triceraton Republic
- Japan (possibly Feudal)
- Ninja Tribunal
That alone is enough to carry an MMO tbh, as there are different villains for each location/arc, and I'm sure there's more.

Given the fact that everyone would want to be a turtle, it couldn't work. We've seen that the only turtles (with the exception of Tokka and Slash) tend to be the TMNT. We'd be stuck with millions of turtles running around instead of a good mix. I say no to it, myself.

But not as big as DC or Marvel. Those two have been around since the Golden Age of comics, and have over 75+ years worth of stories and characters to draw from. TMNT doesn't have that kind of rich mythology, imo.
