    Hey All,

    I've been searching on the internet, and of all types of MMORPGs there are no Mech ones. The closest thing to a Mech MMORPG would be NCSoft's Exteel, but that’s only PvP, I want a PvE MMORPG. Anyone know of any Mech MMORPGs, what I really would like is a MMORPG game that is like Xenogears, lets you ride in a Mech and Upgrade the Mech as you see fit and do missions and quest, have a pilot that doesn’t need a Mech to wander around, etc…. (If they let you ride a Mech in Tabula Rasa, I would be set...) And lastly….Come on all, you have to admit a Mech MMORPG would be amazing!!!

    lol, if only PSU was as good as PSO, it might've actually had a chance.

    I was really really, let down by PSU : <

    hmmm, i've tried PSO, but that still doesn't suit the feel of a good mech based MMORPG. I look foward to the day...

    There are no good mech games in general these days. They need a new Mechwarrior at least.

    A MMORPG mech game would be fantastic if you could configure it up and all that. But it'd really have to be more Gundam style for it to work properly as an adventurey thing, if you get me.

    The MechWarrior franchise needs to be reborn. The MechAssault games only barely subdued my thirst.

    Who DOESN'T want human-piloted robots blowing stuff up? Terrorists, that's who.

    2nded! Although MechWarrior 4 (I think?...bleh) sated my thirst for robotic combat for a little while...Nothing matches up to my MW2 Mercs days though :p

    armored core series is one of the best mech combat game i have played..
    but on MMORPGS, i think korean/japan MMORPGS might have some mechs on them.. like RF online (bellato race, armor driver class)
    some of my friends played RFO just because of those mechs

    I've tried Armored Core and love it, but it still lacks a good PvE feel. And for those Korean games, if they had better graphics I would be sold for several of them.

    And for Gundam......AHHH, if they ever made Gundam into an MMORPG....that would be amazing, everyone would want to buy it....cause its Gundam, lol. Battle on planets and in space on a customizable Mech that lets you fly......ahhhhhhhh (*drool)
