well i dont think it would be that challenging, possibly bring in a few more races that are human-like for example the Klingons on star trek or also have sub-races that would be confed's allies and have the game the option of picking which side to be on have it more on a universe scale and possibly have it internet ready kinda like ultima
all the same systems of space in WC, and with it being internet ready the war would never end, that would be the goods

No! No Klingons! No Star Trek stuff! No Star Wars stuff! WC is WC!
No Ultima!
Sorry, but there's little sense in blatantly copying what's already out there. And I think there are already too many humanoid races. Aliens seem to be either humanoid or completely the opposite. No balance.

Seeing that space is... well, space! Alot of vast, and empty space... Even space fish need to eat.
Maybe that is their motivation. Maybe they cant enter atmospheres... so they eat fighters and comets and space rocks... but they prefer the power plants of confed ships. Besides the small ones are crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle...

In the days before computers were involved in movie making, etc, I think the vast majority of aliens protrayed in sci-fi were humanoid - mainly because it's hard for an actor to wear an alien suit which wasn't humanoid (think Jabba the Hutt!), and also because it's something we can relate to, and understand. It's a bit hard trying to work out the anatomy of something we've never seen before, hence even today aliens resemble insects, reptiles, (felines!), but are still mostly bipedal in anatomical structure.
This just my opinion, and I'm not claiming it to be right.
I second that!

well, the list can go on and on i was thinking having the humanoid races as the majority and may throw in a sprinkle of machines, mutants,alienoid beings etc. having the new WC based online could make the game more popular than it already is, not too many copies of WCP were probably sold, added having it online would make the game larger than life
I mean hasnt anyone in the chat zone wanted to go head to head with an administrator or anyone at that matter
this is just my opinion and i solely support it

You'd be surprised at how many races there are in the WCU already. I don't think we need any more.
Erm, how so?
Over 750000 copies, I think. LOAF will give you the 'official' figure. Pity it didn't sell the million EA wanted so that they would have a reason to stick with WC longer.

There is a race like that, but they belong to another "dimension" and are called BORGS.
Let´s get rid of those Nephilim first, so we can (Hey moderators, not raising the subject) find out what did they do to Blair and start looking for someone else to shoot at.
The Borg aren't machines. They're a joining of humanoids with mechanical body parts, which would make them cyborgs (hence Borg.) Overall though, I agree with you. Let's finish the Nephilim before we start picking fights with anyone else.
Best, Raptor
From the comments the Nephilim have made regarding humanity, there might be a whole lot more just beyond the Nephilim. A game with Confed caught in the middle of a war between two different groups of alien races might be fun to see, so long as not all of the species were forgettable (i.e. no "species of the mission" stuff).

Off the top of my head; Humans, Kilrathi, Firekkans, Mantu, Steltek, Wu, Nephilim. I'm sure there's more I forgot.
Err no.
Everquest, the most popular MMO game, has something like 600000 subscribers. No strictly online game has been able to bust the magic million mark. The reason that's unimportant, is because of the monthly fees which regularly bring in profits for the publisher.
Microsoft hasn't broken 100000 players for Asheron's Call yet, but it still makes them lots of money. An online WC would most likely be profitable, but it would in no way broaden the fan base.
There might be one or two more. I remember seeing something on one of the sites I frequent that provided information about a game that either had just been released, or else was in beta. Unfortunately, I don't remember any of the details, including the name. If I saw the website, I'd recognize it instantly, but other than that, I'm clueless.
A casual search for that title also turned up one called Darkstar, although I think the latter might be more focused on capships than on fighters.
