I came up with the sweetest idea ever! Imagine that Blizz buys rights to create Game of Thrones MMORPG! I know there are some trailers of GoT video game but well... I saw them and they don`t look very encouragingly. Back to the topic- Blizz creates MMORPG just like WoW but all happens in Westeros! How I see it:
1. Only one race- humans. Instead of picking up race at the begining you pick up house you belong to. Let`s say there are 10 options. You can be one of the house: Starks, Lannisters, Targaryen, Tyrell, Baratheon, Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn and Mormont or you can be brother of the Nights Watch.
2. All happens in time that is presented in the book but there is no need to follow the main plot. That means: Eddard Stark is the head of house Stark, Tywin is the head of house Lannister, Aerys is the head of house Targaryen etc.
3. A lot of thigns are taken from Wow- professions, xp and leveling, quests, 5-man dungeons, raids, achievements.
4. There are thousnds of possibilities to add new expansion- enlarge the world beyond the Wall, and Free Cities- beyond the narrow sea.
5. World is divided into zones that have different level range.
6. You can buy a mount at some level + there is some public transportation like ships or caravans.
7. Different houses may have variety of abilities that are specific only to them- like Targaryens may use a dragon for a mount or Starks may have a direwolf as their companion that is useful in fight.
What do you think?
