Transformers MMORPG

But the problem there is balance. Who would roll 5 Bumble Bees if you can roll 5 Optimus Primess for pure pwnage?

Same with a Mech Warrior type game. Would one roll 5x Locust when they can control 5 Omni Mechs?

Same with any game, why roll 5 shammies if you can roll 5 Onyxia's ?

Overall the idea is great, but there are so many things you could port to an MMO,
It has been done with Racing, spaceships, jedi's, fantasy, adventure, normal life(omg WHY, that's what we're trying to escape)
and whatnot more

I was in the closed beta for EA's Battletech 3025 MMO -- they canned it at the 11th hour, saying they didn't see enough demand to support the game. It was pretty bug-free. Basically a shooter with some build strategy involved.

Sounds about right. A good Battletech game would be very similar to a simulator-type game, and except for the most popular flight sims, those just haven't succeeded very well.
