I want a game with lots of content and customization like WoW but I'm looking for a live action game. Hellgate London was not that bad imo and I was looking for something like that with more MMO. Huxley and Too Human coming out for Xbox360 look good and I'd rather play a MMOFPS with actual aiming like Huxley. I know Age of Conan is live action without selecting the person you attack but I want something more modern and guns are a plus. But list all live action games please especially MMOFPS. Also list ones coming out.

Does the "big team battle" of Halo 3 fulfill the "massive multiplayer online" part?

Otherwise, I'd second Planetside.

Tabula Rasa. The game is probably going to be shut off within the year, even though it just came out.

EVE Online

http://wiki.goonfleet.com/index.php?title=About_EVE

Quote :
"
Totally non-linear skill system

You are not “boxed in” to a certain set of skills depending on what race or gender or anything you want your character to be. You can start as one race and immediate begin training up ships for other races, and anybody can eventually fly any other ship and use any module in the game, given enough training time. Additionally, you train skills while offline, so you can take a break from Eve for days, or even weeks or months, and come back to a character that is stronger than when you left him.

Player-driven economy

Almost all ships, modules, and items that players use are player-produced in Eve, using raw materials harvested from asteroid and ice fields. A complex economy has developed over the last 2 ½ years: corporations look for investors, issue stock and dividends, fund large-scale projects worth thousands of real dollars, are destroyed by warfare and subterfuge, or thrive and grow into multibillion ISK conglomerates and alliances. Research investment may yield original blueprints to new ships and modules that can make you rich overnight, or you might labor for months and be left with nothing. Fraud, theft and piracy are everywhere, but so are the paths to riches. Eve is the best and worst parts of anarchy and capitalism together.


The universe is large, and there’s only one

Eve is unsharded, so you HAVE to play with everybody else. There is no “carebear” server or “PvP” server, nor can you go to a different server when you alienate everybody with your shitty personality and unfunny jokes (and they can’t escape you either). Goons do not run the world, although they compose just over 1% of Eve’s player base they certainly must work with pubbies to survive and thrive together or in small groups. The upside is that the universe is massive – thousands of systems – so chances are that you can find a place to call home somewhere in the cosmos. Of course, the most valuable resources are scarce and (usually) contested heavily, so you’ll have to fight for your ability to get rich or stay rich. Politics and diplomacy are more important in Eve than other MMOs, because everybody has to live together and everybody wants what only a small number can possess at once."


It's a hell of a steep learning curve, but things in the game exist like in none other. When your ship blows up, it's gone. There's scarcity in this game... there was one thread where some players were complaining that the number of asteroids to mine didn't scale as new players entered the game, and that it was driving the prices higher. The GMs were just like, "yeah?"

When you form up with some people and establish a sovereign state, it's actual territory, and you have to defend it... and you get cool maps like this:

Don't listen to philihp. He told me he was quitting all MMOs but he was totally lying through his teeth. Get out while you still can!
