Hmm. You know, I can't say I was ever especially excited about the concept of an online WC game, be it WC Online or Priv Online. Multiplayer is great, but massively-multiplayer?

Privateer 3 with the Freelancer engine. God what a dream...

I think the people that play massively multiplayer games do it for the social event as much as anything else. They've maxed out. It's just a hangout. I'd gladly pay $15 a month to hang out in the Wing Commander universe in addition to just #Wingnut.

Bob MCDob (and others) are making a full Wing Commander mod, and it seems promising.

Let me say it this way: While I agree that social aspects are nice I don't see much difference between chatting in IRC or chatting in game while mining an asteroid for 30 minutes
Well the difference is $15. But it really isn't only the money. For me its mostly that the interaction is so limited. I rather spend my time on Pen & Paper RPGs or even PBEM then in a MMORPG due to the engine limitations. And by their very nature space sims tend to be far less RPG and far more PvP which makes them even less appealing IMHO.

You can make companies, and then put your companies on a working stock market and things like that.

You can do that in real life too, and win real money.

WCP Multiplayer would be fun. I believe it was planned but cut.
