Oh shit...
Oh shit...
My not-playing-MMO days are at an end. Because I will have no choice but to play a Firefly MMO.

"Does she have a grave?" asked Coraline.
"Oh yes," said the other mother. "I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back."

I'll wait for the first player reviews to come in before getting my hopes up. Like Captain said, if they just do a Galaxies it won't be worth playing for free, let alone a monthly fee.
Actually, reading this, I've been given some hope:
The one thing that fucked up Galaxies for me was the fact that I just wanted to be in the universe, I didn't have to be shooting down imps with Han and Chewie to feel like I was playing a Star Wars game.

The online version will move away from those central characters -- after all, there's only one Mal Reynolds. In an MMORPG, "everybody has to have their own story," says Multiverse co-founder and executive producer Corey Bridges.

Judging from the comments at Whedonesque, Joss isn't involved.
Also, there doesn't seem to be an actual game, just the license for a game.

I fear that this will become a piece of crap.
Sure, the 'verse is a cool place, but Firefly lived mainly from the writing and the acting, only marginally from it's setting.
So maybe they'll make a good game, but they will hardly be able to catch the Firefly spirit.

Can't take the sky from me. Again.

I see it as ending up being a lot like EV Nova...
(Not that EV Nova isn't an awesome game.)

Does anyone remember Ultima Online? I enjoyed that a starting character could actually be killed by a wandering chicken.
It was almost as good as when the world filled up with boats.

City of Heroes and City of Villains are pretty awesome, and though it's still in cb, I can tell you that 9Dragons, a free MMo to boot, is really fucking awesome.

WoW is currently the only online game I play, though a few others I like are Flyff and Rappelz, both by GPotato. The 9Dragons game looks like it might be fun when its open beta/released.
PvP was about the Firefly MMO today. Yay Browncoats!
