Summoning the Harry Potter MMORPG
The Harry Potter series is, by all accounts, the most successful fiction in history.
With a few flicks of his magic wand, Harry Potter has turned Rowling into a billionaire (we estimate she’s worth $1 billion). She’s one of only five self-made female billionaires, and the first billion-dollar author.
This is apparent to anybody who lives within earshot of a dedicated Harry Potter fan.
And even the dreaded “Avada kedavra!”
If you’re anything like me, you’ve had imaginary versions of these Harry Potter spells flung at you by over-zealous Harry Potter children, spouses, friends, and neighbors, oh, approximately since the first book
So in the name of all things holy, and on behalf of anyone who’s ever stared down the wrong end of a Crucio spell, I beg whoever is responsible for the Harry Potter empire to relent, and give these people a place to put their encyclopedic knowledge of Harry Potter to use.
Give us a Harry Potter MMORPG.
[more]
Let people sign up by the millions and play together. Let them choose a name, create a character, and pick a character class House. Or, answer a few questions and let the Sorting Hat pick one for them:
- Gryffindor
- Slytherin
- Ravenclaw
- Hufflepuff
Let them choose a starting city - er, I mean a school.
- Hogwarts
- Durmstrang
- Beauxbatons
Then deposit them in the world of non-Muggles as a Level-1 character first-year student. Force them to attend classes, sneak through the halls of Hogwarts, maybe even play the occasional Quidditch game:
As they gain experience, let them advance through the grades until one day, at Level 7 as a 7th-year student, they graduate. And that’s when the game begins in earnest.
- Will you stay on at Hogwarts and become a teacher?
- Break into Azkaban?
- Join the Ministry of Magic?
- Pursue a career as a professional Quidditch player?
- Open a shop in Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley?
- All of the above?
Or maybe you’ve had it with the civilized world. Maybe you yearn to study (or even hunt) Norwegian Ridgebacks in the wilderness (and it should be vast, as vast as World of Warcraft is vast, with Muggle and non-Muggle partitioning):
Oh and did I mention?
This one is important.
You should be allowed to declare your allegiance to this guy. Or to his memory.
That should spice up the game quite nicely, and allow for meaningful player-vs.-player (PVP) combat against an established backstory.
Practicioners of the Dark Arts vs. those who oppose them.
Give me tactics. Give me tricks. Give me PVP goodness.
And just to make it interesting: let there be hundreds and hundreds of spells, skills, and abilities to choose from.
- Schools of Magic: Divination, Potions, etc.
- Abilities such as Animagi transformation
- Languages like Parseltongue
- Casting without a wand (advanced)
- Flying without a broomstick (also advanced)
Make players research them in libraries, learn them from teachers and friends, go on quests to procure them. Oh, and let them create new spells, new potions, new abilities. I want a fabrication system that’s the equal of anything in Everquest 2 or World of Warcraft. I want in-game, functional versions of the Hogwarts Express; Floo powder; hidden doorways between the Muggle and wizarding realms. I want Pets (owls, cats, toads, and rats) with powers that I can control in-game. I want cloaks of invisibility. And I want a plethora of wands to choose from (or to choose me, because as any Harry Potter fan knows, the wand chooses the wizard, not the other way around), each with slightly different powers.
You hear me, J.K. Rowling? Electronic Arts? Warner Bros.?
Give us a massively multiplayer, online, 3D, interactive, graphically intensive, excruciatingly deep version of Harry Potter. Make another billion dollars while you’re at it. Take World of Warcraft’s 10-million-plus subscriber base, and double it, triple it.
Break records.
And let your fans—the ones who do this…
…figure out how the story ends.

ADDENDUM: For those of you looking for information on the (possibly? hopefully?) forthcoming Harry Potter MMORPG, there are unsubstantiated rumors on several Harry Potter fan sites that such an MMORPG is indeed in production:
- http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/warner-bros-create-harry-potter-multiplayer-rpg-57010/
- http://www.gryffindorgazette.com/2008/06/04/is-there-a-harry-potter-mmorpg-coming/
- http://en.potterish.com/?p=1076
I was just looking at all my wonderful forums based on the Harry Potter series, and I stumbled upon this website. I believe this is an excellent idea, but it would be too expensive to make, and so no-one would afford it (we are talking $150 dollars each).
Nice ideas though, and I do hope that it can happen. But my h0pes are not very high.
I certainly don’t think that it would be any more expensive than any other video game to produce exactly what this article writer proposes. You look at games like World of Warcraft or any of The Elder Scrolls games — they are massive worlds (particularly the first Elder Scrolls game, Daggerfall) with lots of depth. And even if it cost a lot to create them? The amount of money that was made off of their fans more than made up for it. It’s an investment, sure, but quality begets profit. I think a lot of big corporations forget that. Which is why we end up with so many crappy games. Especially crappy games that are tied to popular franchises.
Also, I seriously doubt you would have to charge $150.00 per copy of the game, and you underestimate Harry Potter fans if you think they wouldn’t pay even that much if it were a quality product. I would like to refer to the new Star Wars MMORPG that is coming out, “The Old Republic” — go look at the pre-order options for the game and you will see that, not only are they selling the collector’s edition for $149.99, but on most websites the collector’s edition is already sold out. And the game isn’t even RELEASED yet! So you’re fooling yourself if you think people won’t pay that kind of money for a good game.
The last point that I’d like to make is that millions have already been made on the Harry Potter franchise. There is already a HUGE fan base out there. It isn’t like a game developer would be starting from scratch here. Everyone knows that this is a market, much like fans of Star Wars and much like fans of WarCraft, where money can be made. There are already a horde of fans who would love for this to happen. And if a high quality game were made very little advertising would have to be done. Word of mouth and the internet would do your dirty work for you. Kind of like Field of Dreams… if you build it, they will come.
yes just-just yes i titaly agree with amy
What do you have to lose J.K. Do it
This would be the best game on planet earth! I’d totally save up money for that! I REALLY love the idea! And you could always put it out there that you’d appreciate donations from the fans to help with the cost. I’m positive that you’d get a ton of support, this really is an awesome idea.
My god what I would pay just to play this game, there are so many lame and boring ideas of what unharrypotter fans think are mmorpgs. What Daniel Radcliff said about when they were filming for the deathly hollows is a huge clue into what should be done. I myself have read, watched, and memorized every single book and movie due my own love the franchise and my family’s, I am such a huge fan that when the last book came out to my elementary school’s library that they hadn’t even put on the self before I had it checked out and back within a day. I too created simple mockups of what the game should be like and the article best describes everything I thought of too. I am going to be 20 years old this year yet nothing would keep me away from this game.
I would pay that and more, and I have 2 friends sitting here with me that say the same. We would even upgrade our systems to allow better game play. Yes, we have no lives, but we do have plenty of money.
That would be great for kids all ages though. I know a 3 yearold that had watched all the movies in 3 days. I read the stories every night and play the game every day. I do the MMO vesion though.
If this is actually is J. K. Rowling, I have 2 important questions to ask you. 1. When are you going to open Pottermore for good, for open public? 2. Do you know any awesome Harry Potter virtual worlds, like Toontown, if you know what that is?
i would work every time i could for a game like that.
omg ur jk rowling and its calling me a anonymous coward… real nice and i think this idea rocks i would loveee this website and if i was on here and made a account then i would be know as the gryffindor hero…CLARICE SMITH! (not my real name)
I would pay a thousand bucks for such game.
absolutely right.
your the best person ever today i read more Harry potter and got so exided that i went out side and made a wand from a stick
J.K. This should be the harry potter game instead of “Pottermore”
J.K. This is a better idea than “Pottermore” the person above is correct
I mean below
J.K I recetly sent you a letter but unfortunly i got no reply. But if you still want to stay in touch with your fans. This game will do. It would be great knowing it was never over. a chance for us to Have a go see what it really is like at hogwarts, Muggles don’t get to play games like this. and WIZARDS DO!
I’m just telling the truth here, J.K. Rowling, Pottermore is NOT a MMORPG!
This would be amazing!!!! It would finally pull me completely into the world of gaming. I married a gamer so I know how it can get. I only play fb game for now but I would throw them all out the window to dedicate myself to this game. I’ve even started to read the HP series to my daughter (9 months).
My brother in law was testing a beta game and one of the guys in there said he was only going to play that game until the HP MMORPG comes out. It seems closer to our grasps than we realize. Anyone have any news on a Beta?
I really like this article. A Harry Potter MMORPG is something I’d love to see happen and would play the living hell out of. I actually have a blog detailing every aspect of a Harry Potter MMORPG that could be implemented and how it could be done different from other MMORPGs. And now for my shameless plug to said blog!
http://www.ign.com/blogs/jensozzie
(Yes, I know I haven’t discussed EVERY aspect yet, but it’s an ongoing series, there’s a lot more coming) Check it out!
This game would be awesome! All the people who’d pay for it, EA, etc. are STUPID for not making it!!
How Do I Play This?!??!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!? TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It doesn’t exist.. :I
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WOULD BE SO EPICALLY AMAZING!! Truth is, I’m 21 years old, I grew up with Harry Potter, I’m a proud HP nerd and would play the everloving shit out of that game. Just like I did everquest!!!!!
OMG, i need this game. SO BADLY. Though im just a kid and therefore unable to contribute, you have all the support i can give! Good luck!
I am looking forward to these!!!
I am the worlds biggest harry potter fan!
this is exactly what i was looking for i really really hope they’re putting this in progress. I would be hooked on it !
Wow. You’ve given me the urge to play a game that does not yet exist. I think WB (etc) have really missed the ball on this one but it’s good to hear they’re doing something. Nice mock screenshots, too.. a glimpse into what such a game might look like, though we can hope that the graphics will be truly top-notch when/if the game ever does come out.
So much money to be made.
What! How do you make mockups that awesome!
Accio!
Thank God, a post that doesn’t include a mountain of code.
Loved that last picture btw..
JAMES YOU MUST PROMISE: NO HARRY POTTER MMORPG BOTS!
I MEAN IT. ONLINE POKER IS ONE THING. WORLD OF WARCRAFT IS ONE THING
BUT HARRY POTTER IS SACROSANCT—-
HANDS OFF!
Sounds like a great idea. Hopefully someone will take this as a cue to start developing the game ;/
Oh, and those are some great mockups
WHAT THOSE ARE MOCKUPS? WAH You guys got my hopes up!
Great job, James! Really love the post, and like the commenter above, it really makes me want to play the game (even though it doesn’t exist…yet).
Wow! Now that’s an idea worth billions if executed well, and with depth unusal for movie/book remakes… And as for graphics, it doesn’t need to be top notch, instead, give it style - as in WOW, and make it run on as much somputers/consoles as possible.
This might well be the first MMORPG which I wouldn’t consider utter waste of time :).
I agree! That would be the most spectacular game EVER it it would come out! I could play it no matter WHAT AGE!
I was very amused by this.
If only, right?
HP does not suck whatsoever if you think about it Right now (if the game existed ) you could be pulling pranks and putting curses on snape
It would be a big money spinner, but Harry Potter kinda sucks….
Had me drooling, but alas
I for one hope that no such game ever exists. The movies have already gone a great way towards ruining the books, and I don’t think a video game would help.
you stink!!!!
Wah, wah, WAH.
Quote from Warner Bros. (from above link):
[i]"The notion of creating a Harry Potter multi-player online role playing game is something that we’ve been discussing at Warner Bros. for a number of years and continue to explore.
We are currently investigating the possibility of creating our own MMORPG, but unfortunately do not have any further details to share at this time. "[/i]
Wow, thats a lot of research for one game, I think that would be a great game. I know i will play it (even though i am 18 years old). Rupert (Ron) was with me the day after the first day of shooting for the half blood prince and said "do you think there’s gonna be a big , like , online game where thousands of people play it?" and i didnt even know so i went on the internet and i found this website.
Are you THE Daniel radcliffe if you are i am your biggest fan if you as me the harry potter series was brilliant and i think you could make a brilliant game as well!
yeah the real Daniel Radcliff trolls forums on possible harry potter games and mythos
just like the JK Rowling post above
AANNNHHHH!!!!! WRONG Answer
im gona fant…c fffffffffffffffffx.wtf the…………….AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy!your new name is harry potter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are my hero radcliffe i am a big fan of yours.
I love James Devlin!
—-is that ‘Daniel Radcliffe’ above the actor from the Potter movies?—-
The day after posting? I doubt it.
I am a huge Harry Potter fan and I love what you have done here plz let us know when the game is actually coming out. And how did you make those screen shots?
>I am a huge Harry Potter fan and I love what you have done here plz let us know when the game is actually coming out. And how did you make those screen shots?
LOL are you serious? This is a _mockup_. James has no part in creating a HP MMORPG whatsoever.
I am pretty damn sure Dori was asking that it be posted if news ever gets out of one, and just how he created such good screenshots. Did she ever claim that James was a part of it?
OK, kids, let’s cut the religious chat. I’m pretty sure there are other forums on the Internet that are more suited to that than a blog about a game.
pppppppppppppfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.you suck eggs
and created the game?
as game?
which is the name of the game?
I do not understand much because I speak Spanish
Something weird happened to this site, only half the old posts are showing up. It’s really weird.
Hi everybody, internal housekeeping, comments will be restored shortly…
Why does the post is in half maybe Warner Bros. or EA Games take them to make an ideas.. emm maybe..
You know what guys, I founded the one of the EA Online Game.. Its name is BattleForge if you guys know.. (The game is free) So, if the unknown-well game can be created by the EA Company why not the quiet-known Harry Potter?
Not supporting the game but just commenting..
I hope you are right that they took the ideas, at first I thought it was just my computer or something.
Should house common rooms be accesible by outside houses? Or would that lead to too much trouble?
No no no
Definitely NOT
If someone is in Slytherin and you’re in Gryffindor, would you want them to come waltzing into your dorm in your bedroom at night and just hex you while you’re asleep?
You should ONLY be able to get into a house if you know the password, as it is in the Movies
I agree with anonymous! I would not want to wake up tied up in rope and dangling from the Astronomy Tower!
i belive you!!!!i dount want to sleep outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, that wouldn’t be a bad idea. you could just have an invasion of some kind of a jealous house against another, like against the winners of the house cup for the month or something!
hellyeah
The comment that we did is no more important. Now what is important is Warner Bros. take out the comment as a sign of sure taking the ideas that we guys have make.. Thanks if Warner Bros. concerned about our feedback!!
this is way of the point but is anyone good with itunes and ipods
Is this games put yet?
If warner bros. really cares they should put something up on this.
this game would be fricking awesome dude
**** yea
they really really really need to make this one
if this game was made exactly how you said it, it would be the best mmo over
LOL! Anonymous is crazy about it and commment over 3 every same hours LOL!
:D:D:D:D
ohhh now im mad… they erased ALL of those amazing comments and ideas we had.. I wonder if it was really "internal housekeeping" or a way to stop the comments..
Nop, James won’t lie such a thing… I mean serious thing.. Mean aghhh whatever..
what is this web sites name
What "web sites"? Do you mean Anonymous?
ok even though all the game ides are gone i don’t think this one was mentioned instead of clicking a spell make it microphone operated/voice contolled give the game a more interactive feel.
Even though that would be AWESOME! I think that you should have the microphone option. In case you want to be quiet while playing it.
I would love to play a Harry Potter MMORPG. I think this is a good chance for Warner Bros to make even more money.
Etermin it could be a good idea, but I’m pretty sure most people would like to play this game in private, not scream EXPELLIARMUS while they are in their house for everyone to hear. I’m sure I would hate screaming at my computer while playing this game.
true joseph
LOL! All over hogwarts were screaming EXPELLIARMUS till hogwarts colapsed..
That will be disturbing screamin here and there.. Anoying..
Aww… I want a Harry Potter MMORPG!
I’m amazed WB and EA haven’t realized how much money they could make from this…
Slytherin and Voldemort Rule!
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to press my right mouse button to mark/attack a foe, wait until he have less than 20% hp left, press "1" and hear my character scream "Avada Kedavra", see the green light from my wand, killing my opponent and then press "2" and my character start to move the wand in mystic ways and after 2 seconds almost the whole budy turns into a black mist and i fly away from my enemy.
That would be awesome
Like in starwars, if you use to many dark/evil spells, your character will start to look more evil AND if you could learn how to fly without a broomstick, make it look like in the movies WB! And no game for 6+ please, make it 15+ atleast =)
I don’t think they will read anything on this website actually but i hope that so they understand how much people want a HP mmorpg =)
this game would be awsome
and what happend to all of are commentss,
we had graet idea as well!
Like Dalan said about the screaming-thing I quite doesn’t like screaming here and there and could make me tension. But if it could be real such a thing. Maybe just shout 2-3 times, some other times u just cast the spell without the yelling..
And ryan’s right, where is all the beautiful comment we made "Internal House Keeping"? What the hell does that means??
it means all the comments are taking up to much space off his hardrive on his computer
sorry that comment before was from me
unless you are posting something good
stop
Pls.. Ppl put ur name b4 commenting. Cuz that makes us know who u are..
Like I know who is ryan eventually..
you could have a wand that you use when you cast a spell like they did on Medieval Magic Quest the game on the suite life of zack and cody
that wold b kool
we were going for more of the complex line but me personally i would prefer voice operated not flash game (no offense meant)and 1-0 spell setup would kind of be annoying with a laptop because of the lack for a numpad.
A thought for leveling up lvl does not matter only thing it verifies is how many attributes you have to spend each level and how much health / magic to use.
so intel/wisdom/strength/dexterity/constitution and you can have up to 4 a level
Grphandor-lots of hp/little magic
slytherin-medium high hp/medium low magic
hufflepuff- medium hp and magic
ravencalw-low hp/high magic
for house differences so you can have players diversify
Just dawned on me but a 100 players vs 100 players/house vs house battles now imagine the possibilities
EXACTLY!!!! Amazing, right!?
Just like i said before with the raid type thing. You could just have a jealous house attacking eachother, like after a quidditch game or something! Each house gets two or three chances to attack each other per month, decided by the head of house or prefects! Awesome system!
Complicated…
Ok no offense I’m not out to bag everything you say Etermin
but honestly that is not a great idea. Players should be pretty similar houses are just a way of grouping people not determining their attributes.
Hey on another note, I really think that the wand cores and woods should be really broad. It shouldn’t stick to the unicorn hair, dragon heartstring and phoenix feather. They should have other cores like chimaera scale and what not for a more unique expereience. Maybe wand cores should determine some attributes for characters?
BTW controlling characters needs to be straightforward, clicking of the mouse and the keypad. No fake wand to play the game, and as I stated before voice control is not a good idea. It would sound really stupid if you were yelling at your computer to cast spells. I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t get much positive feedback either. So no offense but we should sort of close that topic. Voice control would require a special device to go along with your computer as well. And that would make a game like this more expensive and more of a hassle. It just isn’t practical.
This would totally be worth my time; I would buy it even if my parents (who despise Harry Potter because they think it’s evil) objected to it (and come on, I’m almost 20 years old, sheesh.) I mean, this thing…if Warner Brothers would tap into the millions here…I mean seriously…all the WoW Potter fans would run to this game!
No voice control, no USB wands (well, that would be kind of funny, but unrealistic), but definitely PVP…and they had better add ALL the teachers in there. I would hope they would make it movie verse, but seeing as how they probably wouldn’t, then there’s no point in keeping any original characters…which is what I’m deathly afraid of. I hope we would get to "meet" original characters…and I would love it if we could "befriend" these characters. And if we’re DEAD lucky (which means they would NEVER do this, unless they wanted to totally break through the game world with a brilliant beyond BRILLIANT idea; limited in many ways, but still just THERE) sim dating. Yeah, you could have your character fall in love with any original character (or online character, but I would be girls would be running for the game if they had this) they wanted to…as long as it wasn’t a teacher. I would love it if we could have teachers to fall in love with you AFTER 7th year…but the only way I’d see that happening is if they made an expansion pack to the original game. One game for being a student IN Hogwarts, one game for living in the wizarding world. HOLY COW, I would spend my money on this. But I would love it if you could start out young and basically "grow" your student up into an adult (kind of like the Sims or Mabinogi) but chances of that happening are also slim.
Geez, Warner Bros needs to pick up on this fast; if they don’t, it’s gonna be dead in the water. I mean, I have a feeling this would make WoW pale slightly. D:
I mean, come on, have any of you people seen how flooded that crappy Wizard101 mmorpg? It’s a total rip off of Harry Potter, and it’s doing extremely well even if a) you can barely chat and b) all the spells are done with cards and finally c) its a 10 plus video game. Nobody wants to play a 10 plus video game. And I swear, if they decide they want to make it 10 plus, I would have to rethink my game choice. Make it at LEAST a TEEN rating, jeez.
Potter started out innocent, but it ain’t that way now.
Before you make comments about Wizard101, please let me explain to you that there is more to it then just Spells. Wizard101 is a Journey. Not only a Journey alone but a journey with others. Everyone who plays gets something out of it. The only reference is in the name; it is nothing like Harry Potter. Harry Potter is a novel, Wizard101 is a game. While it would be cool to play, making it like the novels or the movie would be a waste. They would have to re-imagine Harry Potter to make it a quality mmorpg.
About snapefan idea, dating the original character? Everybody will want to date the character I think.. It will make a chaos.. Maybe dating an online ppl atleast. Its easier, and the communicate to other ppl i agree. They should put a communication system. Like talking, gossip, flirt (If u know well). And if the teachers there required you some task, like "Required 3 friends to explore Azkaban." something like that..
the person who said unless you put something important stop is me from previous posts
And pls make it in PC or Wii (for the real wand)… Dont make it like PS3 or XBox360 it just don’t match.. Wii also its not quite match but its all about the wand right? I don’t care much about the wand really.. I mean I still can play in the my PC maybe is faster.. But no offence about others comments.. Just deciding.
Its all good an all, but i think i see 1 major flaw in an HP MMO
everyone will be either Slytherin or Gryffindor…whats the point of having the other 2 houses?
and we all know that 95% of the people playing this will be only using Gryffindor
I honestly can’t agree with you on this. A true HP fan will know the values of each of the houses and would like to be in a specific one that matches them! Like personally, the Ravenclaw house is awesome. Also, if there was a quiz to decide it, than it wouldn’t be as bad, would it? You could make it a quest series before you go into the castle where your replies decide which house you were in.People would not even realise they were having their house decided! And you could make it like only two convo options or five to make sure they don’t know what’s going on.
That’s the use of the quiz while the hat is in ur head. They will ask question from there. A quite hard quiz about the hogwarts, potion, aim of goal in ur career.. That’s the point..
Example: "What will you be doing when you finish your school?"
Answer: "I will be a teacher in Hogwarts."
Answer: "I will be Voldermort’s assistant."
Answer: "Nothing.. Continue playing."
Answer: "Continue school, study again."
Ok first off I really think it shouldn’t be on any console, only the PC. If it were to be on a console, NOT THE WII. I still have a wii and I hate it it doesn’t have any good games. I saved up for a ps3 slim and I don’t have any games yet because I got it yesterday. IT IS ALREADY AMAZING. They have this awesome feature called playstation home where it is a virtual world. PLUS YOU CAN PLAY DEMOS OF EVERY GAME THAT IS ON THE MARKET. Well for the most part. No offense but there is absolutely no competition. On the xbox360 you have to pay for features like this. It is free of charge on the ps3. Sorry off topic. But anyway Ps3 and Pc would be the only two consoles I would personally consider. I would much rather play it on my computer however.
Not just the PC. Macs as well. Before I got my lenovo(My baby lD) I used my dad’s mac and it drove me NUTS when I couldn’t get a game because I had a mac. So I know from experience how frustrating it would be not to have a Harry Potter game that would work for all the Macintosh people :3
I was also thinking, do you guys think that EA will redeem themselves when they create the video game for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? There is so much potential because it takes place in so many different settings. THEY BETTER NOT SCREW IT UP.
Wow, I love all the ideas. But personally all the teachers and Staff should be mods/admins. Because how would you apply for hogwarts jobs? After graduating Just go in the ministry, Be a death eater, [Well MAYBE Hogwarts staff but,]
Im thinking about prefects. They DONT need prefects, Whoever gets chosen what if he really sucks at controlling houses. But yea the quiz idea is good.
Like i thought more
If your friends laugh at you What would you do?
Option One: Tell them to shut up and punch them. (Obviously slytherin)
Option Two: Laugh along with them. ( Hufflepuff )
Option Three: Just tell them to stop it. ( Gryffindor )
Option four: Look at them and just seem to make a joke. (Ravenclaw.
[b]Project AI[/b]
Project AI is a document that describes an idea that various people brought to the outside world. An MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) based on the Harry Potter stories. – As most people, we have watched every Harry Potter movie at least once. While watching the movies an idea popped into our mind: “We want to be in that magic world!” – So after walking around with these ideas for weeks (maybe even months) we began writing everything down. We have started writing since the 10th of September, 2009. – Our main goal is to reach more people with the same ideas.
We will release more information in January 2010.
More information in January 2010? What does that mean?
We will have more information by then. We’re working everything out right now.
Who are you anyway? One of the Warner Bros. company?
Not at all. We are a standalone group that is working on a format, which will be released in January 2010 (can be earlier, not later).
Send an e-mail to rofla@digitalplace.nl and I will grant you access to our forums.
Your forums or others websites.. The word ‘our’ means yours..
OMFG guys quit it with the WoW setup style combat. (the 1-0 attack system) Harry Potter MMORPG would suck crap if all we did was press a button.. cast a spell.. other casts spell, we cast spell, they cast spell. That would suck. Each spell should have their own effect. Not take away "hitpoints" like in all these other MMORPGs. To be realistic as possible, it should be based on reflexes. Like dodge a spell, block a spell, cast before your opponent. That would make it the ultimate RPG. DO NOT RUIN A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE OF YOU WoW nerds!!!!!
Why is everybody comparing Harry Potter MMORPG with WoW? Stop comparing..
ive had that idea for a long time and am glad to see other people are with me on it not to mention the story is perfect for mmorpg style gaming you got it down we should start a petition to get this going quickly for real!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Relaks bro..
A great example of how any world can be turned into an amazing game is Batman Arkham Asylum. Just wanted to say this because I got it for ps3 and it is fantastic and amazing. It was really well done. I hope that if a Harry Potter mmorpg did come out that it would be impressive and accurate to the harry potter universe.
If any of you are excited for the wizarding world of harry potter in Florida, then look at their official site. Just search it on google. It has released some new information. The will have Zonko’s, Dervish and Bangs, Hogsmeade, Honeydukes, Hogwarts Castle, the Forbidden Forest and amazing rides. There is a rumor that the Ollivander’s they have will allow you to customize your wand. It is confirmed that chocolate frogs and every-flavored beans will be sold at Honeydukes. The two worst flavors are spaghetti and dirt, I know from experience.
What is the title to google-it? Cuz I’ve tried be4, its just this site and Hogwarts Live something like that..
IIIII’mmmm baaaaccckk!!
Ok, so, I’d think the very beginning of the game would be similar to the beginning of Wizard101 or the like. You take a quiz and get chosen for your house. Then you go through a tutorial (you meet Dumbledore…no wait, some random headmaster, since D died…maybe Dumbledore could stay and whatnot or whatev. Then Dumbledore leads you through the basics and Hogwarts gets attacked by Voldie and a Death Eater. You fight the Death Eater, and yay…blah, You begin the game.
Ur back? Who are you? What the…
im back 2
hey… i agree completly. HP MMO will be awesome. i cant remember where i saw it, but i saw a website that has screenshots of a REAL HP MMO! i hope the site can be trusted, if not, i might just… do something… bad to the creators of the site… or Warner Bros… meh, i’d rather take a nap.
Shake that has to be you. AHEEM (classified) it is Joe. That looks like something you would write and plus you told me something about there being real screenshots on the OTHER GAME. (People who are reading this comment you may not understand what I’m talking about. If my assumptions are right the person named classified is an old friend.)
Shake if that is you leave your email so I can contact you.
This forum is already off-topic… Long friend? Cool.. I think..
joseph whats your ps3 online name? im porter333
I’m EquinoxO320 tekken.
0320 I meant
Sorry for getting off topic, I’m currently working on some ideas that I will post once I’ve thought them through thoroughly
Ok Joseph.. Hope your ideas will be great… Make your ideas nicely..
What do you mean by that?
I mean make your ideas great and wonderful and think it wisely. Understand?
howto play it
it would be good if like the game was user created, what i mean is that there could be an official website of the game that we all dream about, and send our ideas into them, then they make the best ones, so there should be a lot to choose from, so we put in a code from the case and select what we want, put the disc in, upload what we want onto it and there we go our perfect game
This game needs to be made yesterday, if it’s deep enough it could even trump Warcrack AND SOMEONE SHOULD i mean, no good mmos hav come out, look at that aion crap, we need a new mmo sensation!!!
tekken u mean that we all must vote from their ideas from the official website?
excuse me jack but what?
thats me tekken9 above sorry
if you guys do write a petition or somethin like that. don’t mention the wow setup to where you press a button and you cast a spell and lose "hitpoints" that would ruin the whole game because then it would be based on a level base system.
It would be like any other regular mmorpg if a lvl 8 could beat a lvl 1.
Make it to where reflexes are involved, like blocking/casting/dodging. It would make it realistic, not like WoW
dont put hp and hit points into it put a health bar into it
yes but one thing. I really dislike the graphics similar to WOW. I dont like the cartoonish thing to them. I prefer the graphics more like Oblivion, or Gothic 3, as in , the most realistic as possible.
ask bir hayal izle
Oblivion is really fun it is a great game. I played a heavily modded version at a friends house and it had amazing time freeze spells and a lot of that good stuff. An HP mmorpg would do well to base some of the game off of the spell structure in it.
And yes there definitely shouldn’t be hitpoints just a plain old health bar and sure older students learn more spells but reflexes are the main part of dueling. To be honest I’ve been posting on this forum since the beginning of the summer and I’m already beginning to lose hope because the old posts haven’t returned so people who are new here aren’t presenting any new ideas, just the ones that have been stated already.
I think this is the best idea I have seen about this. I would absolutely play this game if some game companies would make it(By the Way was the pictures cool made and sorry for my bad english).
ok i have to agree no WoW format and for the health create a Call of Duty system where you get hit you see the edge of your screen start to bleed or something of the sort.
I’ve been trying to tell people that there should be a Harry Potter MMORPG for a long time. I started a site with loads of possibilities for an MMORPG and was even directing a prototype at one point. The project was scrapped due to disagreements. That was back in 2004. Now I’ve restarted the site and slowly, but surely people are coming back. Please feel free to use my site to express your ideas as well as comment on the ideas we already have. [url=http://www.wizardsworldonline.com]http://www.wizardsworldonline.com[/url]
Sorry 4 my ‘long-time-no-visit’ this site.. I’ve been busy 4 some things..
So, tekken9 im saying that wat do u mean by that voting thingy..
Joseph I agree to ur ideas there must be hitpoints and old-style health bar becuz that two things is a MUST in all RPGs.. I mean its easier like that..
Don’t u think so?
what i mean is that we all send ideas into an official website for the game until a certain deadline and then we all vote on the best ones, (there should be loads) and then we put in a code from the game, put the disc in the computer whatever the console and choose all the things we want in it, so therefore, perfect game
Hi, although it would be nice if there was an mmorpg released for Harry Potter fans, I believe this is a joke. I play World of Warcraft. It is so far the most popular mmorpg that I know of, even having commercials on television.
To me it looks like the interface from "WoW" was used somehow to make these (fake?) screen shots, or if not fake then whoever is making this game is copying blizzard in the icons, menu bars, and the player frame.
The frame at the top left corner with the player name and blacked out portrait is exactly identical to the one used in World of Warcraft. The frame next to that one is the "Micro menu bar" and is also exactly identical to the world of Warcraft one. Along with these things to back my point is that almost every icon used in the action bars I have seen in World of Warcraft.
For those of you, like me, that are hoping a HP mmorpg is soon to be released, do NOT give your hopes up on this one. This is either someone’s idea of a joke, or this person is going to be in deep doodoo when it is released. Blizzard is THE biggest gaming company, and World of Warcraft is THE biggest game on the internet with an estimated 11.5million customers. This site will not go unnoticed.
In fact I will be reporting this site to Blizzard. While I am a HP fan, and I do encourage the release of such a game I do NOT encourage stealing.
Well somebody must take down Blizzard then… I know WoW is the most famous MMORPG in the world but its just hoping.. BTW, why do you bother to search and find this website then.. And report it?? Wrong step bro..
working on i hope to be a mp hp (hopefully become mmo). Still designing the castle.
Still designing the castle?? Are u creating it? this is cool!!!
sure am. Doing the main hall at the moment. It’s a long process heh.
Seriouly who cares about Blizzard. WoW’s graphics are so cartoony and stupid and it’s overrated. People thing they are really cool hardcore gamers when they play it. An HP mmorpg would be amazing, it would be so much more popular because people, like me, have grown up with the world sort of like an alternative universe. What makes Harry such a popular and amazing character is that he is a hero who doesn’t regard himself as a hero. He was a normal kid like we all are. And he had his share of problems and it was easy for audiences to relate to him. SO EAT YOUR WORDS ANONYMOUS because the only crap Blizzard can come up with is a rip off of Lord of the Rings. People would love this game because the universe is a lot more detailed and expansive.
Your right Joseph your right..
BTW, LW are u really building the castle?? Are u the game designer are u from WB. or other company game??
all of the pics are from previos harry potter games
At this point they need this game out before the last Harry Potter movie so the series doesn’t lose interest. Otherwise it will probably never happen. Even Star Wars has an mmo out right now lol
i sure most of us agree we dont want the WoW format and can we move on to something else like putting it into action. And for best sales it would have to come out between hp7 part 1 and hp 7 part 2
Oh yes yes yes !!!
This would be awesome !
I think the MMO must come out after the last HP so that players will dicover more detail from the movie (except ppl that have read the book).
Dude, I don’t even like Harry Potter, but I’d play that!
Absolutely a brilliant idea.
they have to make this game it would be awsome
but i hate that they are thinking of splitting the movie in half
id be a beast Chaser, just sayin
LW are u designing the castle.. Are u serious??
EEEKKKK I’m excited.
Omg is this for real are you really working on the castle LW.
Oops should have put a question mark there.
Lol joseph, I dont know about LW.. Is he from Warner Bros. or wat?? How the hell is he going to build the castle alone??
That’s what I’m wondering. This better be true.
Gonna get PS3 this month.. Gonna tell u guys my PSN later..
Omg! after i read this i am dreaming and thinking of this game all the time! Would be SO great if it comes out!
Oh cool Jack I bought one two months ago and the graphics on my current games are amazing it is worth the investment.
Is it? Is PS3 or XBox 360 is nice.. Cuz Im always thinking bout that so that I wouldn’t regret buying the best..
PS3 has way better games trust me. I have a ton of really fun multiplayer ones.
Hey every girl here should check out http://www.dolldivine.com/hogwarts.html
oh. Also take the Patronus test. (Skip the IQ quiz!)
this is REALLY cool sounding!!!!! am a super geeky fan of harry potter. LOL.
has anyone heard anything or come up with some ideas unheard of yet?
omg thois is so cool!!! signing up!
if you don’t make this im gonna be mad
Emmm I have a last and long speech here.. Maybe not so long.. Ok,
1st of all i want to say that I owned a PS3 and my PSN is nghavifekr add me Joseph.. 2nd when is this THING gonna come out or be made NO NEWS.. 3rd I’ve run out of idea AS this game doesn’t supports bigger person like Warner Bros. or whatsoever. So this is my last comment I’m doing. Bye2 to ryan, Joseph.. ET.. BYE
Thanks and farewell Jack. We know for sure that if this project isn’t launched by the end of the 7th movie, then there will be no hope for this game to ever come out. I think that people have for the most part lost interest posting. I have no more new ideas.
im still gonna think and so should everybody
same here, how about (like in the new upcoming ps3 game, heavy rain) Your decisions make the outcome of the game, say your charcter dies, that can influence another character, i guess you get the idea, but that idea only works for those who cant go online
true and the code would not take very much (around 100 megabytes) to create the sub-unit offline version
Guys, if they are going to release a game, for all we know thier working on one, think about it a game this big would definitly be hushed up, especially considering the magnitude of the world J.K has created. and a reflex dual wouldnt work becuase you can not overcome lag problems and I think i can speak for most when I say id rather have this out now with WOW graphics then wait another two years. but realisticly, if they have one in development they will release it after the movie release of Deathly Hallows Part 2, remember that some people use the movie as the story and have never read the books, and a Post storyline MMO would ruin it for them
I disagree, waiting a couple yaers for non-cheesy graphics is definately worth the wait and other sounds besides ugh/urgh/uuu/hmm
and for all we could know they may have a watch on the website for ideas(people are sneaky and try to make $ without spending a lot of it)
creating your own magical items would be pretty cool, just to add a crafting aspect to the game, creating items like wands, brooms, clothes?, maybe at a higher level you could craft an invisibility cloak, also i forgot what they’re called, but the things that mad eye had in the books, to detect dark magic and such.
in half blood prince and deathly hallows were there is the battle of hogwarts, maybe start up a huge battle like them just at random, gain allys, good or evil, see what they think by your decisions and what happens, let that be the chioce (talking about that again) oh and i totally forgot, is there vampires in harry potter?
yes because scrigmour was a va,pire but it is funny he died since was already dead.
No Rufus Scrimegour was not a vampire. That’s a lie.
either way if there is they could have superhuman powers, bite people, super speed, super strength, you know like all of that out of twilight, and each one can choose a special ability
i just stumbled upon this great forum. I just want to say that the most important part of this game would be spell development. sure their should be a spell ranking system or a spell tier system but what if you could fuse spells together. i think a vast arsenal of spells will be the key to making this a great game so that duels and leveling dont become formulaic and boring.
i would also like to see environmental weapons. like at the end of the 5th movie when voldemort uses the storm of broken glass against dumbledore. or you could use wingardium leviosa to drop a chandelier on an enemy. . . or something like that.
also, i think it would be good if spells could be learned from other players as well as npc’s. like in star wars galaxies (pre nge) a player could register as an expert of a certain skill and be able to teach other players how to use that skill or skills from a certain skill set (usually for a nominal fee). this is important for 2 reasons: 1. in-game economy always works better when money is passed between players. it keeps ah gouging down (if there is an ah) and it encourages profession, skill or job (whatever it’s called depending on the game you are playing) leveling. 2. the stories involved learning spells from characters other than hogwarts teachers. and usually the most important spells (patronus, Legilimens, any of the unforgivable curses, etc. . .) were not taught by teacher’s but by mentor’s of the students. i think it’s important to create an illusion of reality in this way.
so cultrarious, do you think that there should be any real money (pounds, dollars) included excluding buying the game?
as with any successful mmorpg it is going to require a lot of maintenance and that requires labor hours. what we have to remember is that the difference between a paid mmorpg and a free mmorpg is WoW versus pirates of the caribbean. WoW is a very well maintained game considering how many subscribers it has and and blizzard charges no more than any other mmorpg of its caliber. whereas, pirates of the caribbean was put up as a free game, but it is slow, the graphics are shotty, and the general depth of the game doesnt even go as far as the original story itself. this was a game that was obviously a product of disney’s underestimation of its demographic. if they had collaborated with a good developer it had the potential to be a great game with a great story. but in order to reach who they thought would be their demographic they wanted to make it free. so they couldnt afford to use a better developer.
i know that is a much more elaborate answer than was necessary, but my answer is yes. i think they should charge the usuall $10-$15 per month. especially considering that they spend about as much time maintaining the game as we do playing it. if not more.
Hahahahahhahahaaha now that im quiting EVERYONE start doing ideas.. Nah, im stopping from quitting maybe I will not talk or making ideas here but maybe I’ll just visit.. Still funny..
it makes me very sad to know that even if they started working on this today, it would probably not be ready until around 2011-2012 at the earliest.
well I think there have been some rumors so it may be late 2010. an avaerage time to make a game is 18 months less if there are more people. (the world is not going to end in 2012, but that would be a fun scenario in this game(protego))
i think that we should just be able to buy the game and be done with it there, no suscribing, nothing like that i still stay with one of my other posts earlier on, something about voting, and there, i think it would get more players then WoW because it’s something that people know about more then WoW
i like the 2012 idea, except in my idea it would be the dark forces would get into hogwarts or somewhere in 2012, or both maybe, so either way it’s another good versus evil idea everyone keeps saying about
true, it doesn’t take that long to make the game, but that’s not including legalities, marketing, and preparations. Plus, I am fairly sure that the reason this game hasn’t been made yet is because the best marketing strategy would be to wait until the last movie is released. It’s the way LOTR was released, and others that were based on movie franchises (no matter how poorly they did). The reason is that if it is released now, yes it will probably be a big hit. However, Harry Potter is already a big hit. If all of the movies are released and the fans start to die down a little bit, then this game will act to keep the hype alive when it is release afterwards. It’s not about making the most money all at once, but more about making good money for the franchise for a longer period of time.
it could go on forever, i mean, harry potter is probably one of the biggest things in England, maybe the world. It would live on forever, who hasn’t heard of it!
sorry (again) That’s me tekken9 above
where did u get the pictures? do they exist in a real game or did you create them?
Harry Potter is nice
movie 6 was horrible, funny things is they are splitting 7 in a spot that is not even in the book. lol ( being chased by snatchers, creatures, where in the book snatchers are normal people.
sorry just seen #6 very dissapointed and left out 11/16 of the book
remake is necassary make it pg-13
ok instead a triwizard toyrnament how a massive PvP tournament every few months with 25k galleons to last person standing, 10k to 2nd, 5k to 3rd, 250 to top 50, and 1k to enter being 4th year min.
forgot to add to the above all real-time dueling
A massive PVP tournament sounds fun, but a free-for-all, last man standing thing doesn’t really fall in line with a role playing environment. What I think might be good is to have something like Star Wars Galaxies had where a certain area would be randomly blocked off in the world and anyone who entered would be part of the battle, but only if you already belong to a faction. For instance; Hogsmeade is under attack by some of "Voldemort’s followers" so anyone who entered Hogsmeade who belongs to either the ‘dark arts’ faction or the ‘auror’ faction or what have you, would be part of the battle. I think that the idea of an honor points system like WOW has is good, Mainly because I don’t like an mmorpg to be based too much on economy. Or if not an honor points system then maybe you can loot the enemy player and get items, galleons, or some sort of currency besides a monetary one. Just so long as you don’t have a bunch of experienced players killing lowbies just to farm money. Also, I think that a ranking system would be a good idea for each server. I want to be able to check a list that says who the most powerful wizard is, and who the least powerful wizard is.
that is a possibility for random events, the one I was suggusting was for tri-wizard tornament
i don’t like the most powerful wizard thing, i don’t want them to always win, i want it to be purely on skill and strategy and levels don’t actually matter, what about apparating, i mean, i don’t like enter a battle and stay there until it’s over, i only think you should be able to go anywhere you want, allowed or not, battle or not, just sneak is my idea.
YOU FORGOT!!! IT SHOULD ALSO BE AVAILABLE ON THE PS3, 360 AND PC!!!
As DC Universe Online, The Agency, Free Realms and PlayStation Home are MMORPGs on the PS3 or coming, and there’s SOO many more in the pipeline, e.g. FF13, Demon’s Souls, Dragon Age etc!
Oh yeah, bluetooth support, 1080p, WAAY more complete than EVERY Harry Potter game ever release, I’ve played all of them, they’re all EMPTY!!
Btw, AWESOME AND AMAZING IDEAS!!
By the most powerful wizard i just meant that they have the best stats as far as PvP kills, deaths and so forth go. Not that they would actually be more powerful than other wizards of their level.
and the triwizard tournament should be random events like GoF. Not necessarily a PvP event, but something more like a task that is given to each contestant. Battling dragons has always sounded fun to me, but for a creative idea that isn’t related to the books they could do something like traveling to a dangerous area to retrieve a rare item, or something like that.
Sorry, just one more thing. I think that this should be a level based game for one reason. In the story experience was the most important thing in educational development. For instance, Dumbledore has seen things that most other wizards haven’t. The books refer to battles that he has been in with other wizards and won, and there are countless stories about things that he has done in the wizarding world. Henceforth, he is revered as one of, if not the greatest wizard in the world. Even Voldemort is afraid of him. It just seems like, since this game is based around a school, and a school is based around education, and education comes mostly from experience, then an experienced based level system would be best.
I’ve been writing scripts for a game like this for months. I love WoW but I would give it up in a heartbeat for a Potter MMORPG!
with the triwizard tournament there shouldn’t be a certain age thing, it would be really unfair on others and there should be loads going on at one time all on diffrent servers so everyone gets a chance, but let going up in years be real time, like say your first year make it a real year till your second year, also, make us do the tests and if we fail redo that year.
If it takes a real life year to go through one school year then you would have to play 7 years just to get out of Hogwarts. Assuming this game continues after Hogwarts, next generation mmorpgs will be out before anyone even caps there character. Sorry, it’s just not practical. Also, I think there should be an age limit on the triwizard tournament for 2 reasons; 1. This game will take place after the wizarding laws instated an age limit, so to keep in line with the story it should have one. 2. It will make it more fair to have characters of relatively the same level playing with each other. If there are 1-3 year students playing in a game against 5-7 year students it wouldn’t be fair. On top of all of that, it is good to have motivation for leveling your character. I know we all hate the level grind, but if we can just start a character and start doing everything that 6 or 7 year students can do right off the bat, there will just be a bunch of inexperienced players running around in places they have no business being. Remember, it’s not only the character that needs experience, but also the person who is playing the character in order to be successful within the game.
what i meant with the triwizard tournament is there should be like lower danger leveled ones for lower years that can still be challenging for them, also, with the real time thing didn’t think about like finishing hogwarts and stuff totally forgot about it so how long should it be?
I suggested the year 4 requirement since in the books you have to be year 7 and Harry was a year 4. Another method is whoever wants to join puts their characters name in and the top 3 with the most votes can enter. 4 on occasions.
we cant do a real year it would take forever
Each year should have different classes to take. Each class can have different challenges and it would teach you different spells. Once you finish all the classes in your year you can graduate to the next year. It could take you 1 month or 1 year depending on how often you play and how proficient you are at the game. For instance, your first year classes consist of potions, defense against the dark arts, herbology, and transfiguration (these classes will be chosen by the student at the beginning of the term.) In potions, a student has to learn to make a certain potion to progress further in the class. Say the potion is Forgetfulness Potion, the student will need to find the ingredients and make it and turn it in to the teacher. At any time the student can leave Potions and go to a different class like Transfiguration. In Transfiguration, the student can learn to turn a rat into a cup, or whatever the assignment is, in order to progress through the year. At the end of the "year" (or once all of the assignments are complete) there will be a final test, where the student will have the same sort of assignments (quests) only on a more difficult level. These tests will be different from other tests like the O.W.L.s. Of course, in the mean time there will be side quests and a story line. These quests can be given out by mentors, moving pictures, or discovered in fascinating anomalies found throughout the castle. After graduating from Hogwarts the student should choose from different professions like Auror, potion maker, dragon catcher, employee of any of the many departments of the ministry, etc. . . these professions can have different questgivers. For instance, if you are an auror you will get your quests from the head auror, if you are a potion maker you can get quests from people who need potions like NPC customers, and NPCs who are trying to do important things. In addition to these professions you can also join factions such as; The Order of the Phoenix, and the Death Eaters. Obviously being an auror can help you in TOOTP, but if after school you could visit an NPC that could teach you about the dark arts you might want to go a different route and join the Death Eaters after perfecting the dark arts. Just some ideas, I would really like to see a game like this get made.
I think the Triwizard Challenge must be participated by players that is in Year 4. So that every EXP and spell they have earn troughout every year will be fair.. Example.. John Wesley : Year 4 EXP 10098/10200 till Year 5 VS Arthur Fisher : Year 4 EXP 10067/10200 till Year 5 versus more students.. Short explanation : Fair fight between Year (levels) and spells learned..
About the PvP issues..
My ideas is that when players is roaming around Hogwarts school outdoors. Players that is ‘free’ (meaning no class or quest to do in a shortime) can request another player example me, to fight a duel with him/her.. Example: I click on that player John Wesley > Talk, (talk has more option like flirt or gossip) Trade Cards, Trade Brooms, Request for Battle > Waiting for request. And then John says yes.. The battle start between us. Just a normal battle. Who wins will get wat the players bet to make the battle more benefit. Eg. Cards, Galleons or even more expensive Brooms..
Official Duel:
In official duel you will be CALLED by the teachers to participate in a duel within TEAMS.. Like Unofficial Duel, they will be TEAMS too but more bets.. But in Official Duel, the players doesn’t need to make a bet. The teacher will… Who win will get the reward..
i think they should make the game it sounds cool and be a great way to show how many people like harry potter most peple like it so most would play it i know i would it would probly be the best mmorpg game their is
Hey, has anyone actually gone to like electronic arts and proposed this. If you could compile a outline, report, and proposal for these people then this game could me made in the next year or so
things to add to game:
the three hallows; the elder wand, the invisibility cloak, and the stone used to make inferi
Ghosts:
Peaves, Nearly Headless Nick, Etc.
Potions and potion ingrediants
Felix Felicis
Elixir of life
sorcerer stone
polly juice potion
etc.
if you cant find these things in the movies look in the books they’re in there.
also you should be able to have pets maybe like (if you can find them) dragons, those big spider things like aragog, and basalisks that you hatch from eggs in addition to Owls,rats toads and bats.
also have the locations of Voldamort’s Horcruxes
You should be able to be a ware Wolff or an animagus
Is there already a beta? If there is can someone post how to get to it?
If we were to propose this who should we designate? Best to pick someone who could actually travel and take a few days out of their week. It would also help for a midage person to do this because they are not going to listen to anyone 17 and under, 18-25 there not going to take to serious, so I think someone from the age range of 30-35 would be the best bet.
About housing issues… If they put the old-skool type Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Of course the most famous house will be choosen is Gryffindor and Slytherin. If the game system want to be fair. I recommend following the house by a quiz test. I mean we discussed this before but this time we must do higher quality questions about the magic world. If they put questions like manner and behaviour. Of course players will choose the good manners or bad ones knowing that questions will lead to Gryffindor and Slytherin. What about Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw? Empty house?
I think being another creature like Werewolf or Vampires or whatsoever. I think that it should be after tha player finish its year at Hogwarts School. At the 8th year you will be free with permision of teachers to be out of the school or stay there to be a teacher of Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Coach of Quiditch and etc.. Or, be a Dragon Trainer, be a Werewolf life.. (The werewolf idea i think its not so good)
Great game i like mmorpg games so much.
Im thinking that how does the players gained money DAILY? I mean, we know that when we fight we another player that i post earlier.. Players will gain Galleons, Trading Cards or even brooms right? But where do we must get that things? I thought of this, if the players want to gained money daily.. They can sell Cards, Brooms even Books of Potions and Spells (can buy from the teacher at hogwarts library) or if you dont have ANY money to buy books, cards, brooms etc. You can gained money from official duel or selling potion (no buying required). If players wanted to sell potions, they must just collect the ingredients at the forest or in Hogwarts School. Its free alright and you can sell from the market OR the easiest way is to sell to teachers.. But you can’t fix the price of your potions. The money taht the teachers give its not based from wat price you wanted.
About ET idea..
Who will propose this idea.. Its a GOOD IDEA.. At last the ideas we made for like months is used. I recommend the ideas the person is making must have our ideas. He/She must edit our ideas to make an AMAZING idea. Example: The topic now is "How To Get Money?" so he/she take my idea which is the best (EXAMPLE).. And then the topic now is "After Scholarship", so, he/she will take tekken9′s idea.. And then Etermin and Joseph or ppl that make ideas here.. EVERY IDEAS HERE MUST BE TAKEN…
i like the sound of this game ideare i think though it should use somthing like the blizzard ui as i play WoW in the living room with the rest of the family around and i have no intention of shouting spells or waving my arms around like an idiot just to controll the game . i would definatly go for this game and would be willing to pay a monthly sub for the plesure of hardworking game controlers keeping the game up to date and splitting the game between school years and later life is also a brilliant idear
I have another good idea! When you download the game, the first thing you do is either:
Take a short quiz to determine what House you will be put into.
`OR`
Pick a house that you want to be in.
Players should be able to pick their house, to give them more playing options.
Also, each house should have a "signiture spell" that each House’s students get early in the game. The spells could be as follows:
Gryffindor- Expelliarmus
Slytherin-Serpensortia
Ravenclaw-Protego
Hufflepuff-Stupefy
Now, this doesn’t mean that if i’m in Hufflepuff i won’t learn Expelliarmus. You will learn all the spells that you want to learn, just you start out with your house’s spell and, i don’t know, Protego?
I think to present this idea to EA we just need to send an email with the link to this forum. There is no reason to go to canada or california or where ever just to tell them what we have been talking about when they can just read it for themselves. They aren’t going to take all of our ideas (mainly because some of our ideas conflict with each other), and they will probably add some extra things that we didn’t think of (rather we like them or not). However, I think there are a lot of great ideas here and a good outline for a game. I think they will definitely take this forum in to consideration.
Aye, i agree
Wait a minute the jack up there is not me? Ahh never mind.. BTW, what cultrarious says is right.. We dont need to go overseas just to tell them this.. They still have eyes right? Just give it this link BUT dont you think the ideas is too much i mean is EA or Warner Bros. gonna be serious about this? Hopefully YES!
Ohh sorry thats JAKE im JACK oh so sorry..
ok then all we have to do is find the e-mail for the reccomendations office. it would be EA not WB since WB is a publisher.
very very nice idea. It would be great ive they made that!
Look I’m back I couldn’t necessarily keep away. I’ve been inspired by the sites of Rome where I am right now. I had a suggestion to make. After seeing so many statues of Greek mythological creatures and characters in the Vatican Museum today, I think that this game will need to derive from classical mythology which is what J.K. Rowling intended for her series of books. I think that it should go beyond the potions she has mentioned in the book such as for example, I thought of a Lethe potion, named after the river in the underworld that would make people forget what they were doing, or maybe the Styx potion which would give someone invincibility like the story of Achilles. I think cool little changes and add ons like these could give players a variety of ways to strategize and attack or torment other groups of students. Also to whoever said that Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff would be vacant, you’re not being very accurate. The qualities that the two houses possess are very admirable, and I think that people want a more personal experience instead of living out the adventure like Harry did in the books.
It was an excellent idea by the way to whoever mentioned portrait missions. I think that there should be a labyrinth of portraits in Hogwarts that allow you to obtain rare artifacts such as Hermes’ caduceus which was his mythological wand or the rod of Asclepius which stands as a symbol for healing. Again I emphasize the need for incorporating more of a mythological background in the series.
Also, I think I’ve mentioned this before but according to the Celtic calendar, which Rowling used to derive the wand woods for her books, certain woods have special properties such as protection from storms. These should play into the games HP system and determine how vulnerable a player is to certain spells.
I’ve also come to the conclusion that all the minor classes Hogwarts has to offer should be available for students. I wish they had a magic Art History class
I’m stumped though when it comes to resolving when the game should take place. It would probably be best if it was after the Battle of Hogwarts in the Seventh book.
Also for Triwizard Tournament events, those could easily be derived from mythology. For example, Theseus had to defeat the minotaur in the Labyrinth, Perseus had to slay Medusa in a cave, Oedipus had to answer the Sphinx’s riddle, Hercules had to slay the hydra and 11 other labors (look them up if you’re curious) Jason tried to obtain the golden fleece, Odysseus had to escape from Polyphemus the cyclops and so on.
we could use mythology because tri-wiz tournament book 4 harry had to answer qustions for a sphynx (egyptian creature).
I definitely agree that it should take place after the 7th book. Also, in this case characters from the books could exist as older characters in the game. For instance, Harry could be the head auror and you might need to do missions for him, or take herbology with Neville Longbottom as your teacher.
So anybody found an email to send this ideas??
privacy_policy@ea.com I found this email from Google.. Maybe it help. Somebody must send this ideas this must end..
i think that this is turning into more of an rpg (no offence) but with the go on the person and go on talk, can’t we just use voice or like just type a message to them? but yeah this must end this has been going on for ages this game must be created, but ea? maybe some group like infinity ward but ea’s ok, i guess.
yes i would prefer infity ward but since ea has done the previous HP games it might be higher chance that they will do it we could send to WB and let them choose.
I think EA has the rights to all HP games. That’s why they did them all. Even the quidditch game.
Hello, I’m new to the forum world but this is amazing. I’ve read each book at least three times nott to mention the other books about creatures and quiditch etc.
First off it needs to be for mac too. Now you hardcore gamers out there are probably all pc but I know for a fact a lot of Harry Potter fans ( or "book worms") are macs. So no matter what it needs to be mac able.
Now I’ve seen or played all Harry Potter games. so I know WB and EA have the money and ability to make this happen. And if you didn’t already know, WB is opening a Harry Potter theme park spring of 2010. So they are already working on a HP project with film makers and JK. So any of you diehard gamers out there. I invite you to get an appointment at WB or EA and formally pitch this. There have been rumors of one in developement so adding this valuable info will be amazing. Though im thoroughly disappointed in the console games I’m sure this will be a hit, yet im surprised it’s not here yet. I’d think after wow is making tons as well as that litte wizard101, they’d jump on it. However they need to employ either Cryptic, ncsoft, or blizzard to make it. If it’s supposed to be the real deal it has to be amazing, like aion, i mean have you seen those graphics?! And get JK involved, you can contact her through her publishers whose site you can connect to through her "links" page on her official site.
In summary this game needs:
-advanced character creation
-many places or schools
-a class system were you complete homework or quests
-a personality quiz for sorting
- no recognizable NPC in the school ( having them would throw off the balance i mean all of the students we know left as of 1997 (date of 7th book) and would make the game seem more rpg as opposed to mmo, however nevill longbottom as we know is a teacher in the later 90s so hed be acceptable)
-a spell system with buttons, no disneylike wands!
-potions and fabrification system
-duels and flying
-pets summons and anamagi
-triwizard tournament
-maybe a spin off healing spells like occulous reparo orspells that actually affect things.
-real time school stuff , classes etc
-places to go diagon alley, hogsmead
-and an "aftermath" playstyle were you can get a job or practice based off the clases you took or owls scores.
Based on things ive read elsewhere, the books, what was said here, and personal opinion these are essential. and thank you joseph, it must be mythological, a field i’ve studied for 8 years. And JK did originally intend it as such, read the tales of Beatle the bard for more. Anywayas for creature filler, there’s a beastiary too. But mythology is important to reconcile with correctly because somethings that have been used before in games sickens me its so off the truth from mythology. Please come soon harry potter game, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and btw if you make and account at EA.com scroll to the bottom and click on email us cuz ea has a contact us page but you have to have and account. Plus the EA campus is hiring gameplay engineers!
Now onto the pitch, I don’t think a monthly subscription is logical if this game is targeted toward a teen age group essentially, however a transaction system like to buy more wizard money or special items. In the past 5 years the mmorpg has become a multi-billion dollar enterprise, I mean Blizzard rakes in tons monthly and i don’t even think their graphics are very good, And the game should cost money like the disc. People dont get mad at me im writing a pitch so it does have to appeal to both sides. All in all good job to all these ideas your all geniuses! Now will someone email them all your hard work!
I hope this was ok for a first post
Amazing comments mates, my friends and I have been hoping for this since we were 12! (we’re 17and 18 now) so its a long time comming, hopng it’ll come soon!
what website is the Harry Potter mmropg game on?you can tell me email me at bradley.dowling@hotmail.com
Huh… Those pictures make it seem like this exists… does it? Probably not, because the gui is LOTRO XD
no the game is not on any website currently and yes those are fake images of the gui. we are wanting to send it in at the moment.
AND PLEASE READ THE POSTS BEFORE PUTTING SOMETHING THAT WAS ALREADY ANSWERED.
Great post @ Anonymous on 12/31/2009 4:10 PM.
I agree with most (if not all) of your pitches.
EXCEPT:
The classes (etc)..
Beta players (Yes there will most likely DEFINITELY be a beta) will become teachers when the game is released. Making the classes more human-like. I think the classes should be more like minigames, to better the, "homework" talk going around this topic. I think homework is such a boring (even if easy) task. Nobody is going to want to come home from school, and do MORE homework. Nobody. So to better the situation. Mini-games.
Now for the teacher subject I was talking about in the last paragraph. Beta players should be able to choose if they want to be teachers. There should be an application somewhere on the MMO’s website, and the first 50 or so however many teachers the game needs, will be applied. And back-up teachers. So if one teacher isn’t on. The back-up teacher will be able to take his place. And maybe even 4 back-up teachers. And if one teacher is on duty. The back-up teachers have a chance to play the game as a student. The teachers should have fun playing the game too. So give them power. Power beyond power. So they can become bad teachers, like Snape, or great professors, like Minerva. The castle should be huge. After all, there are millions of tunnels, and stairs, and there’s like 5 floors, is there not? Teachers should have fun too.
I’m not saying that what I said just made sense, or even if it’s a good idea. All I’m saying is that it is an idea. And WB is going to need a lot of ideas. As this is going to be a vast game. Or it SHOULD be a vast game.
I really hope WB doesn’t screw this up. Because they already screwed up the movies. Every HP fan knows that if the movie was like 3 hours long… We would watch it…
ALSO!
The idea of Allegiances to Tom Riddle is out of the question. As Tom Riddle is done. Out of the picture. Gone for good. However. Maybe you could become a Death Eater? As in, still work for him, but not for him? Someone as evil and twisted as Lucius Malfoy is wouldn’t stop being a Death Eater after Lord Voldemort is gone. So maybe being a Death Eater would be an option? AFTER your 7th year of course. Because they don’t take students, with the exception of Draco.
MMO’s have storyline’s too. Even WoW has a storyline. A very distant one, but one none-the-less.
The game should follow the story-plot.
As in:
-Up at a certain time for breakfast.
-Classes (if not a weekday or holiday)
-Leisure time
-Dinner
-Bed
-Nobody allowed out of the castle after dark.
-Nobody allowed in the forbidden forest, after all.. It is forbidden.
That’s all I have on that subject.
BUT AFTERSCHOOL.
Your life afterschool should be carefully planned too.
THE FOCUS OF THIS GAME SHOULD NOT BE ON THE SCHOOL. There should be a lot of enjoyment in the game during schoolplay, as that will be the catch to the game, making the gamer decide if he/she wants to continue playing.
But to make sure people still play after the 7th year of school, the after-school life should be just as important, if not even more important. There’s tons to do besides school. And the novels have explained that. Harry Potter went on tons of adventures, and there was always somebody involved that was specified to that job.
Sorcerer’s Stone: Teachers. Goblins.
Chamber of Secrets: Teachers. Goblins. Ministry of Magic.
Prisoner of Azkaban: Teachers. Goblins. Ministry of Magic. Dementors. Azkaban prisoners. Aurors.
Goblet of Fire: Teachers. Goblins. Ministry of Magic. Other Schools. Death Eaters.
Order of the Pheonix: Teachers. Goblins. Ministry of Magic. Death Eaters. The Order. Aurors.
etc… etc… The list could take a while. As I think I’ve forgotten quite ALOT even in the ones I’ve mentioned.
I hope this post is well-put together. Ideas are hard to come by. I’ve been holding this in waiting for some place to put it down, hoping there would be an HP MMORPG soon.
Even if it doesn’t come out until I’m 30, (I’m 17) I’ll still play it.
A little edit to my post above.
But I didn’t mention entirely that the game should follow after the books.
The game should not be intertwined with the books.
Meaning, It should follow Lord Voldemort’s death.
There is an epilogue where it shows some of the characters’ lives after Lord Voldemort.
The MMO should be placed between Lord Voldemort’s demise, and that epilogue. No further information. :]]
Also…
House cup. Whoever had house cup of the preceding year should have a 2x, 3x, 4x, or however many number increased EXP gain benefit.
It seems the only logical way to go about that business.
Somebody gave me an idea from gryffindorgazette!
Voice recognition!
More "connected" for those big HP fans who really want to roleplay. ;D
yes definarely over the books not the movies.only reason i watch them now is to see how much they screwed it up. and a correction to your post tony, there are 7 floors and a dungeon level.
Wow thanks anonymous, I’m glad that you supported the mythology concept. If we could get a hold of Ms. Rowling, this site could progress and we could come up with more ideas.
Also, this keeps bugging me but I think the Black Lake should be explorable. It should have grindylows, mermen, and other aquatic creatures like hippocampi (horse-fish hybrid look up Trevi fountain for a picture of one) But to keep a steady income and fanbase, a game like this would need to add a lot of new stuff that has never been introduced in either the books or movies. That is why it is important to contact J.K. Rowling because she probably has ideas that are floating around in her head and information she decided not to publish. I know for a fact that she cut out a complex character she created to befriend Draco Malfoy. So there must be other information that she has and all we have to do is pick her brain a little bit. Oh and also there is a complete list of mythological creatures on wikipedia. It might be helpful for some of you who have ideas.
Also, I think there need to be awards for the person who wins the house cup. Like upgrades to their common room or something. George and Fred’s joke shop needs to be available so we can use Peruvian blackness powder and all the cool gadgets and gizmos they have available.
so if you buy love potion how will that work? i mean it’s not as if you can use it on another player, or do you think the love life should be like controlled by you, that would be some strategy, see, now, that brings in love and stuff, imagine if that was like gta, it would have to be an 18, well, at least that would attract more mature players.
I think an important thing to remember is that this game won’t come out all at the same time. The original game will consist of the castle, duels, after school jobs, etc… However, alot of it like the joke shop will have to come in an expansion. The castle itself is going to have to be almost the size of the map from a whole other mmorpg, not to mention the outside world that will mostly be explored after school.
What about clan?? maybe if the game have been made we all toghether in this forum could be in one clan… The name is " The Ideas" lololololololololool
Arghhh… wat am i talking about..
Is that make sense?
clans not a bad idea since there were some gangs in the books.
I’m really praying that J.K. Rowling’s encyclopedia will come out because from the sounds of it, it is going to answer every question we have about the wizarding world and more. It would be perfect timing and could help speed up the production off a game like this. As soon as it is confirmed that someone is working on this game we should all collaborate and get each other’s player names.
Hello it’s anonymous from 12/31 @ 4:10 again and what about incorporating some Norse or other mythologies. On J.K.’s website it says that the encyclopedia or "the Scottish book" (a play off of the nick-name for the play Macbeth) was originally a sort of inside thing that might not happen.
Well, There should be diffrent Servers. I mean like PvE, PvP, RP Etc. And i Also think That You can have Talents (Specs) So that you can be Evil, or Good or something. But this will be a big Qlimax if it were made. I would Play it. But being diffrent people, like Hermione’s parents are mugglers, and that should give a skill, and having Wizards parents also gives you a skill. Well, i got many ideas.
Year 1-9, or WTF You are when You’re finished, You learn Your primary skills, not joining any faction. Yet. But after You can choose Your path. Evil, Good, Neutral Etc??. And I don’t think that You’re spawning infront of Hogwarts when You’ve maked Your Wizard. I think that it’ll be cool with the train, and where You buy Your Stuff, like wands Etc. (Meeting Hagrid? xD)
Allthough, as a fan of roleplay, i think this game will be Really RP Friendly.
Oh, and You can Change Your Hair all the time.
The bank should be, where Hagrid & Harry, are getting Harrys Gold coins. I’d love to see those Gnomes.
Maybe being a muggle is just a type of blood.. Maybe no special thing about it like Kasper says, mugglers and original blood wizards should have skill each.. But i think no. Cuz, blood is just blood. Maybe is just can be made by type.. Like us, blood type AB+ or A- watever like that.. Understand? is just a blood type… Hermione’s have nothing special skill about her blood, ok maybe one Knowledge??? lol..
But of course, we can’t be a total muggle blood.. Just a mix blood, muggle+wizard blood..
Exacly.
And When you meet Other famous Pupils, They aint going to be like Elite or Something. That’ll be Silly.
let there be werewolfes,vampires,horcruxes,trolls and many creatures,a house-elf Dobby or Winky for example
Honestly, J.K. Rowling seemed to derive characters and setting names mostly from English folklore and Classical mythology. Not so much Norse or Native American folklore and so on. Also I think that players shouldn’t be able to just choose to be a werewolf or a vampire. There should be an in game event like you find a vampire in a cave off school grounds and you get bitten, or you enter Hogsmeade and a werewolf is on the loose. No horcruxes though. That implies you have to murder people and it really isn’t fair if your player is invincible and you have to go out and find a billion horcruxes that all these different players have created, nor is it realistic. There should be a strict limit to who can be on a Quidditch team, like tryouts with really difficult time limits to beat. That way only a select group of students get to play the game, and you can buy binoculars and be a spectator in the stands as you chat with friends. Hogsmeade should be in an expansion pack, and it needs to be available only to 3rd years and up. Also there should be a dueling club that only 2nd years and above can compete in. And the Tri-Wizard tournament should still be really uncommon, and when it comes around, only three students out of all the players on each server should be allowed to compete to keep it under control and true to the story. The champions who compete should be chosen randomly every time, to prevent the elite players from getting a position in the tournament every time. Also, I don’t think there should be many flags for language and there shouldn’t be rankings for richest players and most experienced players, because that could create a lot of problems, and I played a game like that once, and those people turn out to be real snobs and always brag and call others noobs. And it creates a really annoying environment to play in.
We should be able to choose our blood type, but we shouldn’t really all have individual stories where we have fake parents and we go home during the summer. I do think however, that we should get letters at designated times during the year like the game Animal Crossing, where you never meet your parents and you live in your own town, but during certain times of the year, you get a letter and a present that you receive in your mailbox, which would be received in this game at breakfast in the morning when the owls fly in. Also, there should be a gifting and a trading system, where you can buy items for your friends and trade chocolate frog cards which can boost certain abilities. And there should be real classes and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw (which I’ll be in if it comes out) will have 40 students sharing a class together and they will pair up to perform the day’s lesson and Slytherin and Gryffindor will be in another class learning something else. There also needs to be a spell-making feature for students in 5th year and above, and we should each get logs and every time we encounter a magical creature, it will be put down in our bestiary log, and we will get a full profile on the creature, and will earn the right to interact with those creatures. Also, we should be able to steal from the potions supplies rooms, and 6th year students and up should earn the right to learn that bubble charm that helps you breathe underwater. Also there should be thousands of books in the libraries, some that contain secret spells and useful information about the castle’s many secrets. There should be an award system like the playstation network’s where if you perform a story mode achievement, or you do something that is considered an in-game secret, you should get a trophy on your own player profile and a substantial bonus if you do something that other players don’t know about.
i think you should change whether you want to be dark or light, but you could always be like snape, be on dark side but feed information to your own like group, like dumbledores army, but your own kind of thing but it shouldn’t be you have to pay, maybe 5 galleons, it should be you have to do everything yourself, find a place, train others, escape school do what you like. but you know what, in someways i don’t think any game maker would ever do this, i mean compare our ideas to the games ea has made, what would you rather play? this of course (i hope) but do you think any game maker would bother to make it, so much work, i doubt it.
NO EXPANSION PACKS PLEASE! what about just downloading it for free, pay for just the game, i think this is just turning more into a remake of WoW sometimes, lets make something new, something everyone will drop WoW for, so please no expansion packs, imagine the money whoever the game maker would make just for making the game, everyone would buy it, but just for a totally new thing, how about a new console but its all motion then again there is that new xbox thing, (please playstation make one just like it!)
I want this BADlY!!
What about different group jobs, like a different spell tree for healers (could be learned from madame pomfrey), a spell tree for extra damage, and a spell tree for protective spells for a tank? Of course, there doesn’t have to be a standard leveling party system, but for quests that are too hard for one character to complete on their own there must be a party system. How large should parties be? What should leveling be like? Should it be mostly soloable like WoW or a party leveling system like FFXIV?
It should be solo but with a group ability.Solo because it would lose people having to get on or arrange times with friends to obtain expierience. How large I think 7 should be the largest. And here is a thought you obtain experience of everthing how difficult determines how much experience, and let there be sub catagory levels like healing, endurance, etc.
i think u should pay when u buy the game and then it’s free. FINITO
You guys are so excited about this game and have all of these demands as to what it should be like which is great. However, without a monthly subscription it is not going to be well maintained and by extension nobody will be playing it. If no one is playing it, in what sense is it an MMORPG? If you truly want to play a great MMORPG you need to be willing to cough up the $12 a month.
No you don’t. It should be like 200 dollars to buy with expansion packs to keep a steady income. I don’t think my parents would agree to paying $12 bucks a month and I’m too young to have a job if you haven’t already guessed.(I do have other money but I’m saving for more important things
no offense to the game.) You don’t have to pay a ridiculous monthly subscription to have a great mmorpg. You just need a pretty large price for buying the game. Remember, we’re trying to break away from all the negatives of WOW on here and starting fresh. Also I don’t think there should be trees of magical learning. I don’t think it is a great idea to train with Madame Pomfrey and become a healer, because that sounds like something out of Lord of the Rings and people are just wizards in Harry Potter, and most specialize in the different subjects at Hogwarts. Healing isn’t really a subject. Yeah maybe you could get a magical medical degree and work at St. Mungos, but I think for the most part we should all be fairly well-rounded wizards in the game because it will make for a better fight.
Even if you pay $200 for the game and expansions, that is only paying for the creation of the game. For an interactive and ever changing environment to stay afloat someone needs to be maintaining it. I don’t know anyone who will do that for cheap, and even less who will do it for free.
I just don’t want this game to finally get made, and then crash in under a year just because some teenagers couldn’t get the money from their parents to play it. No offense, I know It’s hard to come across money at that age. The same is true in your 20′s, trust me.
Not everyones from america(like me) so it’s got 2 be for britain 2
About the price i think Joseph is right…. We have much important things to pay in life.
But making This Chat won’t Do it All. Some may have to Talk to Warner Bros. or EA? I know that Daniel Radcliffe has seen this Website, but that won’t make it. Link this Website to Warner Bros, or EA?
i love the World of warcraft troll rogue stuff like the move cold blood and pick pocket and even the character portrait
in reality, whos going to pay $200 or whatever it is in pounds but either its just not realistic, remember its just a game
ok logical choice would seem to be to charge money for rare game items, unlockables and extra money. there are many free mmorpg’s on the web that do that andhave been alive for many years.
please don’t have to pay for more items only game money galleons and stuff, thats how a lot of kids would miss out on it because their parents won’t pay, so i think about £40 or $40 for the game and download expansions and stuff for free, i mean, we would all be staying with the game, but we can’t start WoW VS harry potter
Maybe the MMORPG is free to play BUT if u want something extra, maybe just add like $20 dollars to add some Galleons in the game. You can gain from the game freely but it will take a long time period. If you pay u may have the money straight away.. Or like some special brooms which contains some Golds. (Golds is very hard to get maybe if u buy it its easier) Eg: Nimbus 2000 1550 Galleons 14 Golds.. Something like that..
i believe thats just a way for whoever the company is to get more money, surely that can be a little bit (this is all my opinion no offence to anyone) stupid, i mean who would WANT to pay extra apart from the game, NO SUBSCRIBING, NO EXTRA MONEY INCLUDED, JUST BUY THE GAME! loads of people would buy it so thats thousands of money for the company already.
Some places:-Hogsmeade -Hogwarts -Durmstrang -Beauxbatons -Diagon Alley -Quidditch Stadiums -Woods of East Corvette(where there are werewolfes) -Godrics Hollow(important)-Vidra St. Catchpole -Riddle House -Woods and places where magic creatures are availeble to hunt or to trade with or just to explore(for example:chimeras in Greece)-Paris -St.Mungo -Ministry of Magic(of all nations)- A sectret place which once belonged to Grindelwald or Voldemort -Planform 3/4 at Kings Cross
portals to travel to other places, should we make them or should they be already set? i don’t know, if we want to be other creatures, vampires, werewolves etc, should we be able to use magic as well or have little things we can do because we are that creature, also, should they be like in someways the predators of the game, i mean, wizards and others can live with them but when the time is right can we bite them so we either kill them or turn them into one of us, also, should there be like some quick medication that can turn you back to normal or another vampire or werewolf can suck the poison out like in twilight.
I think there have to be dementors, and each character has a different form of patronus charm. And if there are dementors there has to be Azkaban to go to.
how to download please say it
azkaban is a must definite, imagine someone going there, and breaking every single prizoner out, definitely wanted (i call doing that lol) anyone want to join me?! destroy azkaban create it like harry potter 6 (book) you know when the dementors were loose, oh and that reminds me, we should be able to have a clan of dementors and dangerous creatures and stuff, like voldemort did before harry brought him down, i definitely call that role sounds fun killing people and enslaving them, how about in some cases we may need to escape so we can free run, that would be a twist, i mean if your a vampire or werewolf that could give you extra skill than others at free running, but we can still free run even if we’re normal we just have less skill at it, but we can always train of course, imagine that, climbing hogwarts free running across it’s towers!
If you are a dark wizard you can create inferi or enslave someone with the imperius curse.
Great ideas guys. Azkaban NEEDS to be available. I want to be a good player, but it sounds really tempting to free all the prisoners
Also, smart ideas for location Greyback. I think there need to be woodlands where werewolves live and caves where vampires are. Didn’t J.K. say that there are vampires in Albania? Albania needs to be available also, so you can explore the forest where Tom Riddle hid Ravenclaw’s diadem. I really would like to play there.
Oh and you reminded me of something Greyback. A while back, I stated that there needs to be a trip, like Elphias Doge was going to take with Dumbledore before his mother died. When they graduated from Hogwarts, Doge (Dumbledore couldn’t go)traveled the world and saw chimaeras in Greece, and mummies in Egypt. Also, Ron goes to Egypt in the summer before his third year so it should definitely be accessible.
I really think there should be quests:For example in hogwarts you go down to the kitchen and help Dobby or Winky to find ingredients for food, or you go to Draco Malfoy and help him bullying some first years, or you help Hagrid in the forest.
And if you complete the quest, you gain some experience and abilities ,get money or gain points for your house.
i think house points should be gained the way they do in films and books, you get given them by teachers, but money yeah by tasks, like testing for fred and george, maybe they could break into hogwarts, so you know, you can be there ‘test subjects’.
each house has different kinds of tasks
this sounds awsome, if it does come out i for one one will play it, and i think the houses shoud have different lessons and, it should be the teachers that give or take away points and give out detentions, there should be places like hogsmede, 12 gimmauld place, the burrow, privet drive (and around) and other never seen before locations such as the village near the burrow and godrics hallow, plus the room of requirement with options of what is inside, duddly and his gang should also be in privet drive (and around) so you can curse him if you want to, and you should if you get enough money and graduate, buy a house elf!, James you are a geneus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this game has to be on PC with extention games and it should be a bit like… well i cant beleve im saying this but… runescape, you can fall in love but there is a llama that has something like a small heart above your head to show that you have a girl/boyfriend but you of course can have more than 1 at a time
Like you?
oh yeah!!
lol
im planning on e-mailing warner bros and ea games on this but i need james’s e-mail addres
i’m talking to james delvin. How did you make the screenshots?
do you think instead of basic pets like cats, owls, frogs (you get the point) we can catch more ‘interesting’ animals, we can catch them, you know, do the stuff we need to do the stuff we can do with a hippogriff, keep looking it in the eye, bow, or maybe try for a dragon create a place for it, mabe use some muggle weapons (guns, medieval weapons- bow and arrow, ETC)
I think there would be muggle items of such but weapons may not be able to. But if weapons were theere I would call myself Soap Mactavish
Sweet! Just, ummm. MAKE IT FREE
Reference to Call of duty Etermin. I just bought the game recently. Also, yes tekken I suggested earlier that there should be more interesting companions, like a phoenix or an eagle or something.
woah, commenting is still going on this? I have only googled today and this came up….
Pets also can help u during battle… It make the pets more valuable.. But depends on wat pet u buy. Of course not an owl. Owl can fight a dragon example?? Maybe a pheonix or eagle like joseph say. But of course, more expensive..
well an owl could help you by gathering tree branches and leaves for maybe, i don’t know ermmm, cover and a good hiding place maybe, get the dragon to fly away and then attack it?!
OMG! This is AMAZING!!! Just saw the forums yesterday and have read all the posts! (gotta give a hand to jack, joseph, and etermin.) Oh, and I have an idea. Maybe a wand quiz too. I dont know like determining how you characteristics match your future wand. And please no book NPC’s. That would be just stupid. But i really like the ideas everyone has been giving out. Gotta give you guys props for that.Cant wait to join! (Sticking to my forums name XD!)
PS:Buying the game,Monthly subscription, expansion packs, etc. would not be fair to fans in foreign countries. Like I live in a small Middle East country called Lebanon. I really love Hp but theres not much variety here. It’s like a whole load of procedures just to get a Runescape subscription here.
PS again: Hoping to get to know you guys better!
OH and btw forget what i said about the book NPCs k?
anyone seen that new avatar film? so good, i know this is hp but imagine a mmorpg on that, i mean, even if you go with the rda you could still be your avatar or you could go with the navi but keep wherever your link bed is a secret, so yeah, or be like dr harper in the game, where he’s part of the rda but he’s secretly with the navi!
so on the subject of NPCs do u think it should be before or after harry potter? and will the teachers like flitwick, slughorn and magonagl be there? there should also be no wand quiz but a costomize wand bit when you buy your wand you should be able to costomeize it and when you gat sorted you shouldn’t be allowed to pick a house for your self, also like… ummm… someone said: there should be no extantion packs it should all be in the one game and NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS!!!!
There needs to be some hogwarts professors but anyone can be one eventually.
And there does need to be very few book NPC’s
We need to stop putting ideas here and be willling to divert the attention to get it to the companies.
To make the game LOL!
anyone want to think about a bit of free running, it was in one of my last posts, anyway! i think it should be set after the events and that neville is the herbology teacher now, also, i think that harry and the others could visit hogwarts once in a while, maybe get the chance to dual him but he should be really difficult to beat, but no one in the game should be allowed to have the names harry potter, ron weasley, hermione granger etc. it would just get confusing for everyone, also, it should be totally custom made, your character, there should be no costume packs either. i totally agree with the_jones, no monthly subscriptions, no expansion packs!
also (i keep on repeating it) make it like so your decisions create everything, thst could be like on an offline kind of mode, also put it on ps3 and xbox 360, some people do not have a powerful enough computer, i mean, this kind of game we’re thinking of is going to need some major power to get top results, so, yeah.
Larry Porter lol cool name. I read a magazine with a spoof to-do-list by J.K. Rowling and she said jokingly that she was going to right a book called Larry Porter and the List of Non-Magical bestsellers or something like that. Oh also I have a suggestion. You remember those days when we all had little game boy colors when we were around the age of five. Well, although this sounds kind of nerdy, something struck me when I remembered this extremely rare virus your pokemon could get on the very first games. Now think of a game like this HP mmorpg. I think that abilities like being a metamorphagus, part werewolf, or part vampire or veela or troll should be able to happen randomly to a select few gameplayers. Players should have the ability to decline becoming a mixture of a human and one of these creatures, but if a player wants to, all they need to do is select yes when the notice pops up randomly. They will receive special in-game privileges. For example, metamorphagus can break into Gringotts, werewolves have increased speed, vampires have a weekness to sunlight, but can transform to a bat and attack other people at night. Veela’s should be able to seduce your in-game players, and trolls will have increased strength.
I know tekken, this game would be much better taking place after Harry’s years at hogwarts, but J.K. Rowling would have to make brand new characters to be teachers there. that is the fatal flaw in our plans. And even if she did produce names for the future teachers, that would invalidate thousands of stories that fans have created about the future of Hogwarts. And frankly, that would just suck.
About names.. If you visit the registration page.. It have normal thingy that you must fill-up right? Like ID (Username) Password bla2 and then when ur in the game.. They will be asking a nickname for your person to play.. But of course like tekken say no using name that had been trademarked.. Like Harry Potter Maybe Harry Connors can be accepted.. its not kind of nickname but is the second name to use in the game.. We dont want our name is like our username. Example. tekken9123 Character name tekken9123 its just not match..
About joseph ideas. I have 1 little question. Being a creatures like joseph says, wouldn’t it be a confusing? Shouldn’t it be a NPC being that kind of creatures.. I mean it should have NPC creatures like that but, if it being mixed up by players it will be confusing and hard right? Like im fighting wit tis creature suddenly another same creature come and attack me stronger that the other.. Just asking.. Hoping the answer..
Sorry i take so much space i accidently press another button..
Ok, if what Joseph is saying about the Larry Porter thing that would be so awesome :D. Anyways, i was thinking, how about like in every of harry’s adventures to get to or find something or something like that, could be a quest. for example:
-Philosopher/Sorcerer’s Stone: Find the stone, mirror of erised.
-Chamber of secrets: Find chamber, defeat basilisk etc…
I mean it would be pretty cool to take on the adventures just like harry.
PS: For all the hardcore HP fans here, there’s this great website called http://www.averagewizard.com Just check it out.
i’ve emailed warner bros and EA games and are now waiting for a reply i also put a link to this web page so as to promoter it even more, so keep adding idas!!
imagine if they just gave us a demo, you know asked us for our emails, we could put the file on disc and play it on whatever console we choose (and that it would work on)
with the characters joseph, jk rowling wouldn’t have to make new characters, the only new one would be neville as herbology and a new one for transfiguration since mcgonagall is the headmaster now dumbledores gone, i guess he could come back as a ghost and teach, but i would have thought he would want to experience death.
yes he did that is why he did not come back a a ghost. Idea have it set at the epilouge then you could do school etc. with all of their kids.
i wonder if they will reply that would be awsome, and this game has to be the most complete hogwarts ever with lots of never seen before locations and even bring some back from the old games like the vegatable garden or aragogs ex lair, but we definently have to onehundred percent have to have the shreaking shack
LOLZA
I agree with the Jones, i mean the game has to be as realistic as possible.
btw i just realized that the harry potter song has 33 p2p users on limewire. LOL XD
larry porter you realize you just admitted you have limewire, you could get into serious trouble right?
it is legal as long as you get items that are not available in stores or effect the company’s margin(new game etc), but you are more likely to get hacked. Just random stuf i know, i don’t use frostwire, limewire etc.
haha larry porter just have been busted..
well just so you know, i live in lebanon, we dont even have traffic lights
besides, i got permission from dumbledore
lol larry porter, cool name. btw where is lebanon?
the middle east
k and btw tekken9 why do you care?
I am from britain and i think it should be for around the world not just america
i don’t but say ea or warner bros saw this then they could bust you, oh and im british as well so yeah i agree with benjy
instead of just hippogriffs and broomsticks to ride how about things like phoenix’s. and others that we could enlarge with a spell, though you don’t have to do that with phoenix’s
thestral maybe?
cool! totally forgot about that
what about the seeing death thing, i mean, you could always kill a leaf, imagine that, ‘the story that has taken the world by storm, death of a leaf’, it would technically me you’ve seen death
No Jack, I don’t think my ideas are at all confusing. Yes it is possible these creatures could be NPC’s, but obviously there are going to be some disadvantages to being a werewolf. Like your HP can be depleted quickly because you are so ravenous, and your intelligence level can go down, because your human mind is overruled when you transform. Creatures like vampires should be weakened because of exposure to light, but should have increased night vision and other special perks. Metamorphagus should have a bar that controls the amount of times they transform. It isn’t like a game-developer would created one class that dominates all the others. It would create a huge problem and would take away from the balanced and perfectly proportioned world of Harry Potter.
yo what up hagrid, lookin sexy
could james delvin tell us what is going on wid the posts please
another good idea would be decision choosing. like weither you wanna be dark or light (like in InFamous the game). That would be pretty cool.
i think james devlin has quit cause he hasnt really been contrubutin has he, exept to say internal house-keeping
well choosing what side you want to be with, i think your decisions should choose who your with.
you know what, what happened to all the people before like jake, manyula etc
Im here.. But ryan has quit i think.. Just im out of idea and just keep listening to ppl’s ideas..
I think they quit becouse this is a complete waste of time.EA wont make a game just becouse we talk here about it.If they want to make one,they will.
well they should because there have been loads of people posting here and this would be a big money maker as long as they don’t make it like WoW.
cacsfdsfasfd
wait where are those screenshots from?
hi guys id just like to say that it has been made and it is called harry potter wizard world
no it’s not that’s the name for the new theme park in universal orlando, it was revealed in the second disk of harry potter and the half blood price, (and the internet)
Man i wish i could go. What would the rides be like?
i don’t know i’m in england i only heard of it on the 2nd disc of harry potter 6, there’s supposed to be honeydukes, the owlery, hogwarts, even zonkos.
omg!!! <3 that idea! that would be the best, and the hp theme park will be supercool too
hehehe
the theme park is actually real i didn’t make that up it’s in universal orlando only though, search it if you want, search harry potter wizard world on google
Anonymous I didn’t find that large blank funny in the least bit. Put something valuable in the forum, don’t just waste space to annoy others. Oh and yes tekken I’m going to the opening of it this spring, or maybe it’s in the summer. And whoever suggested that it should take place after the epilogue is right, but as I have explained, J.K. Rowling would have to specify who all the new teachers are. We only know that Neville is the herbology teacher and no further information is given. So it is absolutely necessary to fill in those spots. But if J.K. did post that information, as I said, it would invalidate many stories written by fans who try to picture what becomes of the world after Harry graduates from Hogwarts. There is no way to get around that.
I tought tis forum was "Internal Housekeeping" again becuz of anonymous taking so many space..
tis forum was "broken" when i was visiting. I think is becuz for ppl take so many space to ti forum so be "space-free" forawhile..
Anonymous, go get a life. If your gonna go on the forums, don’t waste our time or space.
Ps: i heard there was gonna be a wand booth
ahhh joseph wish i could go to it, anyway, larry porter whats a wand booth?
Yes Larry, they will have Ollivander’s shop at the theme park. I hope they have a huge selection of wands made by craftsmen. They have a picture up of an artist’s interpretation of his shop at the theme park.
All this talk about the theme park is tempting me…
When i was small i always wanted a wand i mean a real wand the harry potter wand.. Lol..
well the bit i would be most excited about is honeydukes, anyway, make to the mmorpg.
hey remember that rpg mentioned ages before, i’m on it and it’s better then it looks!
what rpg tekken9?
soz cant remember
it was ages ago, if you type in harry potter text based rpg on google it’s the harry potter fan site one it’s better than it looks
This? http://www.harrypotter-fansite.com
what is it?
no don’t worry i’ll put my gamer tag on it, it has a link to it.[url=http://www.harrypotter-fansite.com/rpg/register.php?REF=115][img]http://www.harrypotter-fansite.com/rpg/sig.php?id=115[/img][/url]
oh here it is, it didn’t come up, http://www.harrypotter-fansite.com/rpg/register.php?REF=115
I just got Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for Wii today. It’s awesome! There’s a Dueling Club, Potions Club, and Flying Club. Oh, and the MMORPG should have that too!
yeah it’s a good game, but with the flying you should be able to go wherever you want and potions you should be able to use your hands and not have to levitate them
wait a minute i’ve just realised something, your back! how comes you haven’t been on it for so long?
hehe thanks for realizing. i haven’t really had the time to go on, but i’m back!
heh. I could tell that some of the UI was stolen from the Burglar UI from LOTRO.
nice
Does anyone here play Gates of Andaron?
Emm tekken9 im JACK that is JAKE thats 2 different NAMES for you.. Im just listening to ppl ideas cuz im out of it..
I got the Half-Blood Prince game. It’s so awesome. Anyways, I don’t want to have to admit it but there’s really nothing more we can doo about the mmorpg. I mean we can discuss it and advertise it but thats practically it :/
well jack i never said jake nor jack so i meant jake was back i already knew you was here (no offence)
Yes there NEEDS to be a potions club. I would love to be able to become an expert at potions. In the game oblivion, they have a spellmaking system and they have poison apples. Look up poison apples oblivion online. It’s really funny. I want to be able to do this to other students through the use of potions.
Awwww yeah! Potions club. That would be cool. Plus, I’d so wanna play Quidditch.
yeah that would be cool, get a bottle of butterbeer and poison it, oohh maybe fire whiskey, that sounds nice, did you know that they have butterbeer at the harry potter theme park? oh and larry thanks for joing you got me 10 house points since i referred you to it!
joining the rpg i mean that one i gave you
This is the kind of things a geek’s dreams are made of…
Even if you’re not specifically a Harry Potter fan, I think a game like this would still be extremely entertaining and enjoyable. Besides…who’s NOT a Harry Potter fan?! Lol.
Uh np tekken9. i guess… anyways i agree with cameron about the rpg . But the only thing thats gnna interfere with harry potter being a global trademark are Twihards. God, i just hate those people. And stephenie meyer too.
hey! twilights not too bad, they could pay stephanie meyer and then combine twilight with hp
Hahahahahahaha nice one tekken..
lol?
what i weren’t joking, but i guess it is kind of funny oh and btw, i’m not a girl i am a boy.
Rictusempra
If you don’t mid I’d like to take a poll: Who thinks they messed the Half-Blood Prince movie?
kind of i guess they should have put more fighting in it because it was more of a love story then an action/adventure (or what ever kind of film it is) i mean there were so many memorys in the book as well and they only showed two.
it was boring
isn’t the whole point of harry potter to see some magic
and them going to classes and dueling
That, and they can’t even stick to the book
then again i do know what they kind of tried to do… i think they tried to get the main points into the film but haven’t exactly chosen the right ones and need to put more detail into it. remember in the book when ginny almost died but the felix felicis preety musch saved her, that was quite big because the people that haven’t bothered to read the books would have thought, is she going to die???
I really think they did a very good job with Half-Blood Prince. It received great reviews and for the most part, many people who saw it loved it. It was so depressing but what made it amazing was the hope presented at the end of the film. They can only put so much in a movie and I think it was great. And no Ginny doesn’t almost die from what I recall. The felix felicis only plays the role of allowing Harry to trick Ron and get Slughorn’s memory. That’s about it. I hate the part in the movie where the bird in the vanishing cabinet dies. It’s horrible. Poor thing.
And no Benjy, every movie in this world should not be an action film. What makes a movie good is if it is unique, even when it is part of a series. And they did for the most part stick to the book. The scene where the Burrow burned down is just an add on. They did waste time making that scene. They should have put something more relevant in its place.
I want Deathly Hallows movie!!!!
ya half-blood prince is the most not-too-many detail movie in harry potter movies..
i mean for me no offence..
this would be incredible, ive been wating for a harry potter mmorpg for so long.
sorry i didn’t mean that it isn’t a good film but i remember that once he says to hermione and ron that he’s got slughorns memory he gives them the felix felicis and asks them to guard the room of requirement, when he’s in the invisible cloak he sees ginny almost get killed by a death eater (can’t remember what one)
by the way what i mean is that it is a good film.
well either way i think we can kind of agree that they did kind of mess it up but itwas still good? anyway, can we get back to the mmorpg?
ok about the mmorpg, I have an idea. I say this site needs more hp fans. And theres this site called http://www.averagewizard.com. It’s a site totally dedicated to harry potter madness and you can submit stories about harry potter-ish events that happened in your life.I say we start submiting post about this site. Everyone has got to try it. I mean its a harry potter mmorpg.Then we’ll see if anyone’s interested.
Who is your favourite Harry Potter character in the BOOK? i am asking this from everyone
DUMBLEDORE!!!!!
Definitely Dumbledore. He’s a genius and he has so many cool magical artifacts and Fawkes is really cool.
I cant wait for harry potter mmorpg im so exsited
bet you were disappionted when he died
i know i was, and he isn’t my favourite
my favourite could never be the best and the strongest
Dude, i threw a tantrum when he died. Lol. Im kidding but i was pretty angry.
well the books make the death seem more real than the movie, but like i say read the books see how the screw the movie up.
Fav character: Harry Potter
a hero that knows they are a hero but does not enforce but lives on doing what is right.
Fav character i mean LOL character (in the movie): Ron Weasley
So lol especially when he drank the love potion..
i asked a bunch of my frieds:5 of them voted for Ron, 1 for Harry , 1 for Draco Malfoy , 2 for dumbledore, 1 for Dobby , 3 for Fred and George and my sister for Snape.
my fav character is sirius the way he can change into a shaggy black dog is so cool!!!
Man i love dumbledore and sirius and mad-eye’s quotes. I used one of em for my english essay
I don’t know about you guys, but one of my most favorite things about Harry Potter is Dueling. There should be a way for players to be able to duel anytime they want. They could go up to each other, and "request" a duel. If the other person excepts, the two players are transported to the Great Hall where the long dueling strip is. There should also be a Dueling Club, where students can learn additional spells whenever they want.
Man when (if) the mmorpg comes out i so want it to be perfect!
I don’t know about you but i’m pretty excited about lego harry potter and the the deathly hallows game/films
OFCOURSE I AM!
i mean, who wouldnt be?
well, i don’t think we should have to request a duel, i think we should be able to just cast spells at people but not allowed to just walk around casting spells all the time, just cast one to start a duel, or maybe that person will just run away, i don’t know??? btw i call the name tekken9, lol
i call Benjy
I call Jack?
I have a really cool player name that I thought up. It sounds like a genuine HP character.
I mean not just Jack.. Jack Dickson.. Lol.
so calling Larry Porter
I think there should be a duellling club, and you should be able to request a duel.Or maybe you’re hunting a Dragon with your group and you meet another group who want to kill your Dragon,and you duel for it: this way you can decide things.
Yh that would be cool. But as my career id so wanna teach defence against the dark arts. (Unless its still jinxed….)
PS: SNOW DAY!!!
Oh and anyone here ever watched Potter Puppet Pals or A Very Potter Musical. I suggest so. (all on youtube)
yes!!! potter puppet pals is so funny! especially the ticking noise one, anyway, sorry but i don’t agree with requesting i think its should be just start one up, and whether the person wants to participate is up to them, they could just go away or join, but the chioces souldn’t comeup you should have to do them literally, to me that’s too much like an rpg, but how does WoW work? Can you just start to fight people and it’s up to them or do you have to request?
In WoW there are arenas and pvp places.
(and tekken9 u should probably watch a very potter musical too)
if ur in the arena or the pvp area u can automatically duel. No request or anything. It’s like the wild; no rules.
Wild?
Gimme gimme gimme! All glory to the House of Slitherin! SECTUMSEMPRA!!!
yeah exactly what i personally would like, no requests or anything
Yes, no requests just go and shoot people in the back with spells if they are near the same level, or skill.
The Forbidden Forest should be somewhat like an arena where you can battle dangerous creatures.
i think the forbidden forest should be banned to year 3 and below but you can always sneak in there, also, i don’t think levels should matter, like, say you are 6th year you could just know the same spells as a 1st year since you might have never attended to your lessons. but yeah there should be dangerous creatures that’s why it’s banned to 3rd years and below but i think centaurs should definitely be in there but you can ride them once you like ‘tame them’.
i tkink you should have punishments like detention, if you break the rules
Yh, like if you want to know spells,classes would be like a tutorial. And the more classes u take the more advance you become. An i agree with greyback, instead of getting banned or muted u could get detention with a teacher. (I would hate to have one with snape…) Also, there should be advanced magic like spells without wands, apparation, oclumency, etc.
metamorfmagi,animagus,werewolfes,vampires,flying without broomstick,really advanced powerful spells(like avada kedavra or what dolohov did to hermione in the fifth book),
exactly, what was that anyways?
OMG!!! i can’t BELIEVE no game company has made one! it would make so much money! i thought they would all be racing to make it, but if someone is then they should take their time to make it the best it can be. harry potter is BEGGING to be a mmorpg. i would pay SO much money to get a game like that.
with detention you should be able to secretly use an invisible cloak or a stunning spell and escape.
We must buy the Invisible cloak at the shop?
the invis. cloak can be bought but would be a replica but would end have invis after so many hours of use
I’d so buy one. We should always be able to do restricted stuff. And when we do we lose points for our house. And if you lose a specific amount of points for your house you get detention.
errmm, i don’t think we should have to get detention but it should say on our profile how many we have lost but it we shouldn’t lose any for i don’t know failing a task because that’s just unfortunate but say we do something bad and a teacher catches us they should take house points off.
Hello guys,
I and some other people are buzzy with coding a Harry potter RPG
We working very hard on it, and the pictures comes later today.
What we have done /
Characters - 13% All Teachers are maked ! [ LOOK LIKE REAL ]
Hogwards - 18 %
Spells: Some spells are working, but not all harry potter spells so i think we have a 51%.
Were doing much and much more, so guys look at this forum, and i give a site link later.
awesome marwin
there’s so much to look forward to in harry potter at the mo
apart from new books
Good job and get us a site link Marwin
ok, coming away for a minute with what we can do in the game how about what it could be called? i think… well, i don’t know, any ideas?
Harry Potter (main header) Living legends (sub-header)
Marwin are u seriously making the rpg?
Well, anyways what should it be named? It’s actually quite important.
The World of Harry Potter, Witchcraft Online, Lumos! or just simply Harry Potter (mmo)Rpg
Could we help you some way Marwin?
U guys can really help me with coding, so if u guys want to help me, please send a mail on this forum
And someone wanna make a site for info, or need i make it? 
Wer needing a good name, i hope someone knows a good name for us rpg.:") Later comes pictures of hogwards,
Its gonna be : Witchcraft Online.
I”m now coding a info site
I think its clear in a 30 Minutes so guys we can make it! IF WE ALL WORKING HARD FOR IT WE CAN GET WHAT WE WANT! SO GUYS PLEASE HELP ME WITH CODING AND ALL THINGS.
I know what coding is but I have no idea how to do it
Oh and marwin. Why witchcraft? i mean, its hogwarts school of witchraft AND wizardry right?
Hogwarts Online? And Marwin pls give the link as soon as possible..
Marwin. First Question. Are you guyes Professional?
2nd: If you are, then remember to make it Roleplay
you can’t name it hogwarts unless your actually with EA or another producer of harry potter, you would be in big trouble! they could sue you.
Yea I think the name Hogwarts has been copyrighted, so it can only be used for Harry Potter.
Ummm…. isn’t this harry potter? but yah you would get sued. Idk, i just want the link; wanna check it out.
You know wat. I dont beleive in Marwin. Theres another guy telling that he will make tis RPG right? Remember LW (if not, check the older comments), he say he is doing the castle but until now NO NEWS. Now another guy say "Hello guys,I and some other people are buzzy with coding a Harry potter RPG. We working very hard on it, and the pictures comes later today." My point is ur doing in OUR way or YOUR way 2D or 3D copyrighted or not? Just a crap text-based RPG or a real MMORPG? I want to sure all that..
yeah i know this is harry potter but we’re not actually creating something, are we?
Oh yaaaah. I remember who jack’s talking about. Probably just came to mess us up. But idk, I think we should just leave this to the pros.
And remember rofla? He say that this is the AI Project or something.. "More information will be post here in 2010 early January." Now its February and NO NEWS TOO? If Marwin really creating the MMO like the REAL ONE so I’ll give him a BIG SALUTE.. If not. Lets just leave it to the games company..
I have a feeling the companies are just waiting for the right time. Probably when part 1 of deathly hallows comes out.
perharps harry potter isnt the right matetrial for a mmorpg.just look at wow
metin2, gates of andaron.you can kill beasts and stuff, but in harry potter what do you hunt? perharps there wouldn’t be enough action in it.
Well they can create new creature? I just downloaded Wizard 101. LOL. But pretty nice game.. I want the playing system like is like in the Wizard 101 the Homework system and the class system especially.. I like those kind of things.. It makes you fell like your the REAL student..
There are loads of beasts if you haven’t read ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.’
do you think that when you are capturing or hunting dragons or anything that you need to fight, like maybe stun them some how and quickly run and ride them?
maybe if you do that you can increase your dragonride skill. When you finished your years at hogwarts your skills maybe usefull to be a dragonride teacher or that skill maybe usefull for you when you wandering around and found a dragon and capture it with easier way cuz you have the skill.. its like when you have the skill of playing a guitar, you can use your skill for something benefit..
i read every harry potter book
But the beasts aren’t located at one place
Guys if what we’re all mentioning actually becomes true, even non-harry potter fans would want to play this.
i’ve just thought about something, through the school years there are holidays and stuff so instead of having to wait for finishing your school years you could always just do everything in the holidays and then try to escape the ministry for doing under age magic (unless your over 17)
in the game i meant not in real life
Not to be a pessimist like some of the people who post on here, but I’m beginning to have my own doubts about this game being created. It takes a lot of work to organize a lot of ideas, and even so, a final product might not impress some all-out fans of the Harry Potter universe.
Yaeh,you’re right.
I agree Joseph.
like this idea and i have an idea or two of my own to give if i peak the developers intrest send me an email at the named address link1412@yahoo.com
i guess so but whats the point of just giving up? i mean, millions of people go on the internet a day, look at all the people who have posted on the forum, some people have said that they are creating it, some think they are lying but what if there not, and who knows, that could have been daniel radcliffe himself just protecting his identity! With rupert grint he could have been told to see how big harry potter fans we actually are, so whats the point of giving up? Someday someone from a games producer will look at this particular website.
Yeah your right tekken9.. Maybe they just waiting for the right time..
Well, when they look at this website we’ll be the actual hardcore fans of this game
exactly, james delvin created the basis and think about it, all our ideas preety much came from his.
Yeah, I know James Delvin created the basis but were the one’s who gave in our ideas, thoughts, and hundreds of comments and dedication to this "Hopefully-to-be-created" game. (Others more than I.)
Perharps EA will create this after the Deathly Hallows pc game.I mean they already created Hogwarts, so it would be easier for them.
definitely, anyone heard of lego harry potter? i think the lego series are now just trying to get as much money as possible, anyone agree? also, with the pensieve, instead of just looking at history (and you need to get the memorys) maybe change it? i know there’s the time turners but imagine a mega version of it, go back onto the past and try to change it (this could only happen in an offline story mode)
Yh, tekken9 that would be really cool;Make it right by going into the past. And they are probably looking for the right time.
Maybe you can play online too but only your invited or friends players only.. Like a private game..
ermmm i think that should be a possibility but there should be a default thing were everyone goes and you make your mark and were you are online. otherwise i think that the game will be like all the other games just with extras.
also, because your not allowed to go to hogsmead until third year, when you have the slip you should have to ask your parents and see what they say, if they say yes then, well, great, but if they say no when you go back to school you should be able to make your own path to it and hide it using magic. and if teachers see you you could always be able to change there memory using obliviate.
yes i agree, if they create the 7 harry potter pc game, then they can use that world as somewhat as a base, build from there and change things around, but definetely make thing bigger. I mean honestly in a few years the window for this game will close, and only the die hard fans will still want it
Totally agree.
yep but us die hard fans can always try to persuade others to become hp fans, but remember, just because we post on the forums doesn’t mean that were the only ones.
if a new mmorpg comes out, many people try it who don’t even know whats it about.and those games can become very popular. But with Harry Potter, many people know it’s great, so they’ve got an advantage already.
Plus it’s got a wide variety of creatures, spells, and locations already originated from the books.
It can be really crappy if the makers fantasy is dominant
Yh, i guess so.
OMG, i want that game RIGHT NOW! I’ve played all the sries of Harry Potter games, and it’ll be such a new adventure for me. Lineage is in trash.
Yh, I know there are know good rpgs out there anymore.
Emmm "know" = no.. ya and so many crappy mmo out there..
also, because your not allowed to go to hogsmead until third year, when you have the slip you should have to ask your parents and see what they say, if they say yes then, well, great, [url=http://www.solef80treadmillinfo.org/f80-treadmill/sole-f80-treadmill]Sole F80 Treadmill[/url]but if they say no when you go back to school you should be able to make your own path to it and hide it using magic. and if teachers see you you could always be able to change there memory using obliviate.
Emmm wat are u guys talking about?????
Are they promoting??
maybe but what there saying makes absolutely no sense at all, one of them said exactly the same as me but added a pair of shoes into it??? otherwise it’s as if the others are just putting in codes.
If you guys are gonna promote please leave failures. Seriously, just like the advertisers on youtube. So annoying. Anyways, does anyone know if Warner Bros. or EA has seen this?
Hi guys, yes, lately we’ve had problems with spammers. Sorry about that. Henceforth, spam-related posts will be Crucio’d into a quivering puddle of human jello (i.e., deleted).
Thanks.
no, but didn’t you say in an earlier post that you emailed one of them? i don’t know, but if you did surely they would have looked at it, maybe they thought you were joking?
does anyone else thinking it might be nice to integrate music from your computer into the game from itunes or media player. with the integration listen to your music while playing.(some of us gamers like to do this) Also this would reduce the processing power required by the computer.
damn spammers!! Hey james can u "internal housekeeping" again cuz tis makes me annoyed…
that is funny Jack because I was going to put that after the clothing/solicitor, but it sounds that he may because the post before says he will remove all spammers.
but its not.. the spammers are still there.. maybe just spam else place. Why here???? wtf??!
Ooh its deleted lol… thanks james
hey guys im back, and guess what, warner bros and EA replyed, im goin to florida to meet them and were going to talk about the game and they want, etermin, greyback, larry potter and tekken9′s email!!!!! they might try to make it whooooooo!!!!!!
well done
great but I am underage, hope it goes well. (I would put my e-mail up but the internet is not a secure place.)
Also give most of the credit to James because the idea may be ours as a community, but he is the one that helped it become reality by making this site.
im not doing that
unless ea and warner bros put something on the site directly just for us.
can you put in on pdf and put it on the site?
yeah i agree,i’m not going to let people get my e-mail this easily.By the way who the hell is this Anonymous?
I don’t know probobly an anti-computer movement person still trying to fight computers.
maybe it’s just one of those people thinking we’re all nerds for hoping for something like this?
true but still if what the Jones said is true it would be great.
Does anyone else notice a cycle? I think were going in circles.
Wat circle??
Good James deleted the space-spams…
Sorry, I know if Warner Bros and Ea want my e-mail I would so give it to them. But idk, unless they ask directly im not putting it on a forums site. Second, really great spams are gone. And third…..JONES!! OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!
plz reply…i get angry when im not informed….:D
Oh and jones, csn you get to us somehow if Warner and EA actually want our e-mail?
Yeah if they want my ideas or something, thats cool, but how can i be sure its true?
You can’t greyback. I don’t believe this Jones guy. Not to be the skeptical one in the group but I’ve been on this site for about a year, and my earliest posts were all deleted when the malfunction occured on the website. All my good ideas were presented at the beginning, and in a way, I have personally made some good contributions to the website. I don’t believe this Jones guy is telling the truth. It just doesn’t sound professional. And plus, wouldn’t EA want to speak with everyone who presented some relative ideas? It makes me a little angry actually because I’ve made just as many posts as anyone else.
But still, it is not a smart idea to put our emails on this site anyway. I think this is a trick.
Yeah i agree with Joseph.. We were on this forum about a year and this happen many time. And no news to them who post like Jones.. Rofla? LW? Now Jones??
If it weren’t to be true,(just saying…) this trick is get old… :/
If it were to be true, I would be proud to contribute to a Harry Potter RPG.
if Jones could show us some trailes or pictures or something, i think i would give my e-mail.
I have to agreee with greyback and Larry Porter. If the jones would do a print screen then put the image in the comments. I might then give my e-mail to WB/EA.
same here, i think i have made many contributions as well! i think we should all be given a chance to collaborate ideas, not just four people, because what they want, not all of us might want, and they might not put in what we want.
ok, maybe this will help, no offence made to you jake but although you did make a load of posts you were out for a while, and joseph i believe it’s up to them, but i do kind of agree with you, maybe the jones can email them back saying that he thinks you’ve made some contributions as well as everybody else?, i think this is the only way to solve this. Oh and the jones message us back with updates please!!!
sorry joseph i meant good contributions
Great Idea!
Guys, can someone email the CEO of Warner Bros. or EA or somethin’ asking to make this please?
Maaaaaany people have posted better ideas than me on this sight. Warner Bros. and EA shouldn’t want 4 people. Many people have contributed to this hopefully-soon-to-be-made rpg. Besides, I for one am starting to have doubts. Just hope finally something honest and legit and a little stroke of luck will hit us one day. Sure I know they can’t have everyone’s e-mail, but at least- JONES PLEASE UPDATE US!
didn’t jones say he’s in Florida?
he typed that he was going down to FL to meet WB/EA.
To solve our problem if anyone can find an office in productions we will know if it has a higher chance of being true. also never did say when, and if he was driving/flying. if driving it is 2 days from NE IN.
Hey he can atleast reply to us. He could have bought his laptop. And maybe broadband..
Lol. Could’ve also told us the truth :P. But who knows…hoping to get lucky. Hopefully this thing actually…I don’t know…. GETS MADE! It’s not the waiting for the game creation that’ll kill me, it’s the waiting to find out if this thing actually stands a chance…
PS:How are we supposed to get in touch with an office in production? I’m way too young.
Well it is legitimate to say that there is a studio for EA in Florida. And this guy definitely could have brought a laptop with him. What’s his job anyway? Unless he works in the game industry and isn’t just some random Harry Potter fan, EA is not going to listen to him.
I don’t know his job but it seems all we can do is wait until he replies with something.
woohoo more spammers, if possible James will you block the ip address/es that is spamming the comments.
GO FUCK UR SELF SPAMMERS!.!!!
Ok that’s a little inappropriate keep your heads. Stop it spammers though. This is not a website for advertisements. Take your business elsewhere.
jones………………………………………
7 days had pass…
i give up! he’s lying!
But you got some games you like right?
huh?
never mind
I’m officially stumped…
Spam filtering and CAPTCHA forthcoming…
thanks james any help against spamming is appreciated.
Ok jones have no news from now.. And its about 10 days ago.. Lets just forget about tis guy.. And James thank you..
Thx James. Anyways, I agree, just forget about this guy. And I’ve recently been thinking….should health automatically refill? and if so, at what rate?
Maybe potion.. It can be purchased at the potion shop or battle the wilds.. Maybe a present from your friends?
yeah i agree, potions would be a good idea, i think that the game should mostly revolve about actualy making the potions, and they should be fairly easy to make. maybe just mixing diffrent ingredients from snapes cubard or later in the game finding them by yourself. Also i think it would be cool is that instead of having computer as say the minister it could be run by a player that is dedicated and changes about every year. (dont know if that would work though)
Very impressive, lets hope it gets made one day and that Mythic Entertainment and Blizzard have nothing to do with it
Nah, blake I reckon it should be a game Administrater or a Moderator. Also, gotta agree with ZenEmu. And i think that our health (hitpoints) should be detailed. As in a max default of 1000. And maybe the campacity should grow over your years at Hogwarts.
you should be able to meke potions with your character
Obviously, you’re the one who needs to get a life if you have the time to press the spacebar fify million times. We’re not nerds anyway. We are people with imagination which is more than I can say about you.
If you had any intelligence at all you would come up with a good argument. Or should I say that more slowly?
For god sake.. James.. We need help here..
Thanks once again.
Ummmmm, I’m guessing I wasn’t here in time to read what Joseph was arguing about. Anyways, do you thing apparation should pass up teleportation? And I’m also concerned about flying to a certain area. If they could nail the whole flying thing, Transportation could be a whole lot funner.
I WAS TALKING TO A SPAMMER. Sorry about that his post was deleted.
Oops I forgot to uncaps those first letters. Sorry
Well I think flying should be really difficult when maneuvering. It will make it harder for players to be good, and it will have to be based off of reaction.
Teleport is easier? Well we can practise our broomstick before ride it.. It make us to be use to it.. Like a driving license..
I really want to know where the hell these people keep coming from. Are they so stupid that they constantly post spam on this site. Eventually, we’ll just have to relocate.
but where to? i think that we need james’ permission, i think that there should be good accessories for it, like a wand that you can plug in. Or maybe make it kind of like hero rising from the tv show aaron stone on disney.
Yh, OPTIONAL accessories. I’d hate to have to buy the thing just to play the game. And I think relocating would be good. That way, only the dedicated people on this site will know about the relocation.
Stay tuned for an announcement re: a dedicated venue for Harry Potter MMORPG suggestions/petitions. All comments from this post series will appear there as well.
Thanks!
Awesome.
the thing is everyone else will know that we have reloctaed, just by looking at the site, how about the dedicated people can join up to that harry potter rpg that i mentioned earlier. we can all private message each other on anything like we are talking about.
oh thanks we appreciate that, then again, that would be a good idea for the actual game, someone like malfoy could overtake an island and torture all the young wizards who are harry potter fans.
Thanks James….
I wouldn’t mind being locked up with a couple hardcore Harry Potter fans
YAY yellow-padded rooms! My favorite!
I’m not liking where the combat style of the game is going.. You all want a WoW type setup. I was thinking, (for a series like that) not to be ruined by that kind of setup.. What if there was a system to where it actually required quick thinking and reflexes to play? That way there won’t be an idiotic level system like all those other MMORPG’s that get boring after awhile.. After all, in the books/movies it IS all about quick thinking and reflexes.. so why ruin it with a game that started the MMORPG disaster?
So.. basically, get rid of the idea of tanks, healers ect. How about starting something new.. something more interesting
First of all, some of us said that we wanted it based on reflexes and skill. And I’m telling you now, tanks, healers, etc. aren’t gonna have to do with anything in this rpg. We’re gonna be students progressing through life. When/If you grow up to be an auror, you’re not gonna go like: "I’m gonna be a tanker." It’s about spells and wizardry.
okay, for one i’m preety sure that kyle put the same message ages ago, secondly, i hope that WoW isn’t select an attack or something, i kind of want the fight system to be like hp6, but better!
hmm.. if i put that up ages ago my bad haha! it’s been awhile
Ya.. No news from you.. Whats the date of ur last comment?
not again more things from this wang guy?!
164 days ago..
i think this would be a great idea and if the rummors have some turth to it they will wait untill all the films have been released im guessing, but will have to wait and see becasue a game like this will take years to make and devolp i realy do hope they bring it out becasue i jsut want to play it and there is some much they can do with a game like this , i now i play wow and it a game that i enjoy which is never ending
Hey James can u put a Activation Code be4 putting a feedback on this page?
We’re not going to buy whatever it is you all want to sell.. You’re wasting your time with this pointless spam about shoes on sale.. seriously.
Ehhh where’s James?
you know ,these spammers wont stop if you say so to them. It’s their job, so they don’t care if we won’t buy their stuff.they get paid aniway
James pls make CAPTHA for the comments..
THIS would be a game…
WOW. Amazing post. Amazing comments!!! Well-written and I couldn’t agree more.
Can you (or anybody here) guesstimate the difficulty level that would be involved in building a fan-based Harry Potter MMORPG? I know it’s not trivial, but I’ve seen fan versions of other games. I say if WB and EA won’t “shit or get off the pot” then you should put together a group of like-minded people and just start building the thing.
Also, there’s no way in heck that was Daniel Radcliffe!
heres my take on what we are talking about right now. The apparation test should be based on magic you have learned up untill that point, and you should be in i believe 6 year to take the test. And only people who pass the test can do it, like in the books, and there should be set times for the test. For a broom, i really dont want a game were you can just spawn a broom up at anytime. It should be stored say, at the quiditch pitch and then riding the broom will get you into trouble if you get caught. This bring something else up, getting into trouble, i think you should only get into trouble if a teacher or prefect catches you. Prefects should also be players so that some of them are really uptight but some give players a ton of slack.
and Gokey people have tried but EA has contacted them and told them to shut it down or they will get sued for using harry potter name. Because they have the rights to all games under that name.
so id say pretty difficult figuring out what we could and couldnt use for the game without getting sued
Looks a lot like World of Warcraft, which I play to get my magical alternative world fix. Honestly they don’t even have to make a Harry Potter MMORPG, I’d be happy if they let us create our own Witch or Wizard on the PS3 or Xbox360 and play online with each other. That said, I’m all for the MMORPG idea. There are hundreds of good genres that need one. Harry Potter is bound to be successful if this exceptional idea becomes a reality. It’s probably the most popular fantasy world since Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. The difference? LOTR and SW already have a variation of MMORPG. To be honest I’ve been expecting a HP MMORPG since the series made its first million.
oh my gosh. i love warner brothers and all, but if they dont take this opportunity they’d be a whole lot stupid. they could make SO much money off this its not even funny. plus they’d be giving every single fan out there the single greatest thing since the existence of the 1st ever harry potter book. i mean COME ON!!!!!!!! can they not see this???? if they made this i would pay non stop. ive searched EVERY SINGLE THING that could get me through the long years that lie ahead, the years that are NOT filled w/ hp b/c the series has ended. this, my friends, would be it. i cant express in words how much id want this to happen and how much it SHOULD happen so im just gonna stop talking now.
p.s. someone should really email these people and knock some sense into them. hey i think every fan out there who wants this should flood them with mail telling them to create this. u know, put their heads on strait. am i right?
trust me ive done that and all i get eversingle time is “do to the vast number of emails we recieve we cannot respond to everyone. However, thankyou for your feedback.”
I’d drop WoW instantly for a Harry Potter MMO.
It certainly has all the aspects needed for an MMO. I can just see the battlegroups/mini-pvp games out in the field playing quidditch. Representing your house, eating in the great hall, taking classes where you learn alchemy professions, etc. Brewing potions in the lab.
I can see a company making a lot of money from this. Question is: will the original author allow it? She already has money. Being an author, she might be against other forms of entertainment that isn’t reading. I certainly hope not.
i think jk rowling would definitely be for this, for one, it carries on the hp saga, and for seconds it means more money for her, everybody wins!
She can have all the money she wants, as long as I GET THIS!
Whoa look at these cool new format edition at the bottom. I really think someone needs to pay attention to the huge Harry Potter fanbase and make this game already. So many people would willingly pay for this. Are they idiots?
Nice now the forum is getting nicer…
This will attract more fans out there..
Wow…This site…is definetly…..
Just Plain…
….
do you think anyone from either Warner Bros or EA games has seen this? i mean if anybody knows someone who works there you should definetley show them this…?
Emm by the way what is the
Live preview shows you what your comment will look like once you’ve posted it. And I think, but I’m not sure, that someone once mentioned that Warner or EA saw this. But we cant trust everyone. (We should all know that by now.)
How to download this game? :S
Well if we knew, we would have already downloaded it wouldn’t we?
the tutorial for this should definetely take place in diagona alley then depending on the way you choose your first “skill points” would determine what type of wand you get. then you should always be able to return there and buy anything you want. i also think there shpuld be things like the trwizard tournament where even if you dont get chosen you can watch. then also the yule ball. however these would only take place once in awhile and is only open to the people who havnt graduated hogwarts yet..????
Wow……I like the new site format…. and i think u should be a normal kid then a hogwarts letter comes and u arrive in diagon alley for tutorial.
this is going over more and more to the hp and skill points, i think it would be unfair if the point system is in the game.
yeah i agree
Yep agreed, the point system is unfair to people who just start out, and it’s almost impossible for them to catch up.
what do you mean it would be unfair if the point system was in the game? sorry you might be reffering to an earlier conversation in this, but what point system are you reffering to?
Yeah, What exactly do you mean?
like you know harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban on game boy advance, it used mp (magic points) and hp (health points) so say you was online and an upper level student came it is preety much impossible to be able to catch up with them. so i think it should be like in i don’t know maybe call of duty online where say you are just starting you can still beat a prestige, with health points i think it should also either be a health bar or where the edges of the screen start to go red.
Yh, itd be really cool if u start to get dazed. It’d make it look more real.
imagine if they made a special edition of the game in 3d! that would be well cool
This would be really good, and if they do come out with one, I really hope it wouldn’t cost money, or at least you just bought it in the store and there was no monthly pay, I would get it if it was like that. It might not be a good idea to let the people just choose their own house, because then there might be a ton of people who arn’t in a house that suits them at all, and it was just the house they wanted, there would be a ton of gryffindors, I bet, because that is the house of the protagonist then most people might just choose it, when in reality there would be the most people in hufflepuff probably.
I agree with the whole house thing. If people don’t get into the house they want, they can just make a new account and try again.
No second account allowed..
Well there are 2 drawbacks to that:
1. People are going to get angry that they ddnt get into the house they wanted and just quit.
2. If someone messes up (I don’t know somehow, like level a skill they didn’t want to, Die, Lose an item, etc.) there not gonna be able to make a new account and they’ll get angry and possibly quit.
If me i dont mind about houses… For me, what’s important is my Magic Skills, Quiditch Skills, Potion Skills and etc..
I mean that was me.. This new layout didn’t save my name..
second acounts should be allowed because, that would deter so many people from the game. I think that yeah in pvp they should base it more on skill than the actaul level you are, granted i think that if your a seventh year versing a first year the seventh year would win because they have much more powerfull spells not because they can just tank all the firsts years damage. Also i think if a character is fighting a creature then he should still gain all the bonuses for being his level. This means it would even out the playing field for diffrent levels but higher levels could still wow people by defeating something really difficult, like a giant or something. As for houses i think that it should be something like, you create your backround and someone chooses the house you fit into. Sort of like submiting a resime. Depending on how many people they had monitoring it it would be realy cool and i dont know of any other mmo that does that.
hopefully, EA has enough sense to anounce this before the last movie come out.
i knw right
how can they know who has already an account? i mean they can know, thet how many accounts have been made on one computer, but what if you have brothers or something?
yeah thats another reason why it wouldnt work. Too many people would be pissed and upset.
Omg Completely redone page. Right now I’m occupying myself with the Harry Potter Spells App on my itouch. It sorts you, gives you a unique wand and you have to learn 17 spells. It is pretty fun.
I’m sorry that last Anonymous was me. Make sure to re-enter your names at the bottom old-time posters! Anyway, if they are going to do a sorting quiz, it should consist of questions about real-life situations that are hard to cheat, so that people who want to be in Slytherin can’t choose an option to say that they would lie, or people who are in Ravenclaw couldn’t just say that they are book-smart. There should be some really difficult questions that reveal a lot about someone’s personality so that they can be fitted into the proper house. I’d rather be sorted into a house that I truly belong in, as opposed to one I really want to be in but I don’t have the proper traits. All of them are good, let’s face it. I want to be in Ravenclaw, but I wouldn’t care if I were in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin for that matter.
Yeah, like I took a house quiz and it put me in Hufflepuff. I didn’t mind (since I was hoping for Gryffindor). It’s nice to know what the wizarding world thinks of your personality.
Yes I agree with Joseph
those tests cant be trusted. I’ve done 19 of them, and I’ve been putted in Hufflepuff 5 times, in ravenclaw 3 times, in gryffindor 6 times, in slytherin 5 times.
the hat should put someones CHARACTER in a house, depending on the personality of the CHARACTER, not the player.
I’m from Poland.
Is this game in the web ..??
I very like Harry Potter so I want to play with it
Yeah but greyback how would the personality of the character be developed? The house should be true to the player’s personality so everyone is sorted where they really belong. Posting from my iPod touch.
there should be traits like in total war or sims(i dont play it, my sister does). oh and i’m from hungary so they should sell it over the internet
i mean for all those who are not american
that was me
british and proud
and who are you “Anonymous”?
Well anyway this is sort of inspired from the iPod touch Harry Potter Spells game, but to cast spells, certain shapes should have to be drawn across the screen quickly to cast a spell. This could be done by dragging a mouse across the screen. For example, to cast the spell sectumsempra, the user on the iPod touch has to draw an hourglass on the screen and start and finish the shape in the correct place. It should be the same on the mmorpg. This will allow the reaction-based gameplay that the majority of people on this site have asked for. It is crucial to have speed and good timing.
no, the players should quicly type the spell in to cast it
now if anyone still agrees with me about the whole multi console thing, i think you should be able to buy a really sensitive wand but you are able to turn it on and off whenever you want without any annoying messages coming up, or you can just use the ps3 controller, wii, xbox etc, but i think you should just type it like greyback said, but you can’t just use any spell, ones that you have learnt in lesson, DA, etc.
yeah, you should do missions or quests for someone in the school (like winky,Hagrid etc.) in order to learn new spells.
Hehe Some of the Icons in yuour screenshot are taken from World of Warcarft, The Icons on the left side…the icons up the top…the Char Portrait….but i like it hehe
Sorry tekken and greyback but I think other people will probably disagree to the typing format for casting spells. IT would make the game more of a typing game for elementary kids learning how to properly type on a keyboard. Oh and also, I would have a really cheap advantage over thousands of players because I type over 100 WPM. So no, I think that if it were that way, slow typers wouldn’t have a chance to get far in this game. Fast typers don’t need to look at the keyboard but slow typers do making the reaction-based gameplay really unbalanced.
Yeah you’re right, but the drawing sings in on the screen with the mouse isn’t a good idea too( i know it’s that way in the EA’s Harry Potter games series), becouse what if someone has a wrong mouse or somethig? no way can be perfect. And also, spells are everything in the game so they should be updating new spells and everything to keep it exiting. harry potter 6 can be boring after the story is over
i know there are many mistakes in spelling and stuff, but i am not english
OMG!!!! near the top,i know it was like 2 yrs ago,but it couldnt rlly be Daniel Radcliffe could it?
Jesus Hell from Heaven,if it is im like 0_0
WOW STILLPPL are commenting on this site,id`ve thought theydve stopped agesa ago,
and dont give warner or EA or rowling any ideas about making u have to PAY for this game,cause that would be BAAAAAAAD for those underage players who wanna play yet can’t because of the fact you have to pay cause my li’l bro aint allowed on WOW cause its too addictive and costs money,so would harry potter MMORPG be a good idea? cause apparently someone died playing WOW (world of warcraft) cause they did’nt eat sleep drink or pee for 8 days,atleast he didn’t have to pay his bill though so….Rambling,i am going to stop now, but Listen to mmy comment u NOOBS i own u on HP Knowledge-w00t
maybe you should have a mic and say the spell into the mic to cast it. got the idea from endwar
i think we should make a complete pdf document of how the game should luk like and major gameplay elements also including some art just for fancy stuff if u think so plz just let me know my email id is adi4harry@gmail.com send ur own ideas here i m working on one other game also otherwise i would have created this mmorpg myself but still i have time to make a GAme design Document it will include
**Characters**-I guess it should be like Sims 3 with better graphics plus some constrain…we don’t want crazy looking people here and there but it should be done carefully because loading that large data thru Net is not possible for realtime..i mean custom dress etc is not possible here it will affect gameplay.
**Level/environment design**-It should be with hundreds of server and no server having more than 2K people also many more schools should be created not just Hogwarts..for this J.K Rowling has to come forward because if schools with diffrent Nationality is created it will add more to gameplay plus reduce over crowdness…i mean i don’t think many people will go to schools other than Hogwarts for first time..later they may try..and the world after School should not be the open world there should be some elements of non muggle world too..but creating only non muggle world will make its development stupidly long and without any good result..there should more unexplored magic world
**Gameplay**-the game should be large..and may of the main points of gameplay hvae been discussed above plus it should be clear that it should be bsed on what we want to do it should that darkness and goodness dvelopes inside us by what we do daily in school and according to that we should be made to choose a carrier..i mean for every carrier there should be point system whatever you do in school it will reflect by points so at end of the day it will upon you to choose a carrier and you can choose it only when you have enough point for that..it will add a more of a gameplay in game..e.g. Auror should be doing more of its kind of stuff in school..else u think urself..the spell system should be easy i mean casting a spell should be easy but require to cast it properly should be a thing to master i mean how come every body doing awesome spell..there should not be crazy stuff like have u ever seen potter putting potion using wand in movie or book…no so why in game..u got my point i guess.
**Art**-*CAUTION* art should not be at all the type of previous potter games or WoW, they should use some high quality engine..they should make it playable on console also but separating them frm PC server…anyway cryengine 3 can be use it is MMO ready and will Sanbox 3 will do nice for creating open environment and who know custom places and maps anyway..art should be dark and should not be any knid of buubly stuff..after all we grow up with harry it is true that kids like it but those bubbly stuff is not even in movies and books so why it should be there in game..it should be dark realtime clouds sun shaft weather.. environment should be ultra rich and trees should be crysis type i mean dynamic..day night system should be improve and spell effect should be nice i mean it should be awesome with hell lots of particle and it is actually possible with modern hardware.
**Sound and Musi**c-IT should be made by the creator of movie music it should be vast and well placed..and not bubbly sound here too..more u can add.
**User Interface, Game Controls**-user interface should not be made crazy it should be nice and clean many people like it and game controls i can’t tell much also in this u people add…
IF all goes well and i get enough reply with more ideas i will get it a final game concept pdf…so what r u waiting for reply fast
Awesome
hey i think the sorting hat is a very good idea, and the way it should work is that you should be given quests at the beggining of the game, and depending on how fast, and in what way you complete them you will be sorted later at Hogwarts. Therefore you can take the easy way out will sort you into one house but if you take the problem head on or something you will be sorted into gryffindor.
ps im thinking about copying all these ideas down, in an ordered way so we can maybe email it to Warner Bros and EA games.
do you think thats a good idea?
oh wait didnt see 2 above me
Ok I think that parts like the sorting hat need to be as traditional to the books as possible. So no ideas that are way out there. I dream that J.K. Rowling would hold some sort of contest among young people to determine what life after the books would be like and choose one entry.
Anyway… The quest system should allow people to go off of Hogwarts grounds only during Christmas Vacation if the player chooses not to stay or during the summer. There should be secrets in the London Underground and a possible quest I thought of is to track down a dangerous apothecary selling poisonous goods in Knockturn Alley and using magic and skills learned at Hogwarts to track them down. Or possibly tracing dangerous objects in Borgins and Burkes to residents of the wizarding world. I for one want some really dangerous and suspenseful quests that involve the use of detective skill and strategy and certain branches of magic. And possibly minigames in the castle like an arithmancy game or that one game mentioned where the objective is to shoot other’s marbles into the center. And there should be leaderboards for minigames and rankings for player experience but not money because in games like those, rich players get big-headed. I’ve seen it before and they think they’re entitled to everything. Also we should be able to form guilds comprised of different types of wizards. And please, just as a request before this game comes out because it will someday, be nice to new players. Also we should have the ability to do amazing team combos in Quidditch and Transfiguration in this game should have smooth graphics so it actually looks like the object is transforming, not like some 2d bad graphic demonstration. The Joke Shop should have a monthly catalog; actually for that matter several stores should have monthly catalogs and others possibly tri-monthly if they have larger stocks. That way administrators will be allowed to have time to update. Also I have second-guessed the idea of having prefects. I know you will all probably disagree with me but I used to play a game (same one with the big-headed rich players) where they had moderators (like prefects) and they controlled every aspect of the game and everyone sucked up to them and tried to “mini-mod” for them. And every minor argument without any bad language was censored and people were not free to express their opinions. The only good thing about the site was its organization; it had a chat room solely for advertising where players can be heard by everyone to buy or sell specific products. So what I’m saying is that the mmorpg would have to be a little more loose and arguments would be allowed and bad language censored but not shutup and minor words like that. And also there should be a system that stops certain words from being posted, but not a filter that changes those words into something completely different. Because I said dam on a site when discussing Hoover Dam and it completely changed the word, reported me and the conversation became very confusing.
How about choosing school don’t u guys think less people will go other magic school and will prefer Hogwarts making it overcrowded
> I hate how you have to type your name in every time you post now.
Should be fixed now.
Wait….the game isnt real or out yet, right? Cause it t is someones gonna have to tell me the link. And I beg to the numerous gods of the world that it wont be a flipping download game…….
A friend and myself, have created a facebook group called “Create a Harry Potter MMORPG” People are joining at a quick rate. Lets get as many followers as we can, and show EA, or whoever would be inerested in creating such game, that there is a market for this!!

Spell casting will be reaaalllly important because….well….its a magic game. So i doubt typing will be a good idea. The mouse thing might have a chance but it should be something that has no advantage over the young.
Yeah I agree with Larry. I can even type with my eyes shut… It will be so easy if it just with the mouse… With need more challenge and fair game..
I think it should be a fun way of spell-casting. It should be able to keep people entertained but need skill too. This would be fair because not only in your character improving, but so are you.
what we need are funny spells. You should be able to cast jinxes that change you into a pig or something, if casting is difficult it wouldn’t be that fun
i’m not a big fan of drawing things with the wand, it seems that everyone is thinking more about the pc side of things, what about other consoles such as ps3, maybe you could buy a wand for it?
Yeah, playing it on a console would be fun.
thank you, i mean, for a game this big your either going to need a gaming pc or a really powerful pc which are just to expensive. so why not just be able to play it on, ps3, xbox 360, and of course pc, oh and anyone heard of dc universe online, pc and ps3.
thanks, i mean, not everyone can play it on a pc, you would either need a gaming pc or a really powerful pc to play a game this big, it would just be to expensive. so i think that the game should be avalible to ps3, xbox 360 and pc, but i also think that to play this on xbox it should be a one off free online so all the people who can’t really afford online but still have access to the internet should be able to join in with everyone else. oh and at the end i think that the ps3 server, the xbox server and the pc server should be able to interact with each other if you know what i mean.
Ok there should definitely be a version on the PS3, Xbox360, and Pc. The different consoles should have some way to interact with eachother though. And for now, don’t worry about Durmstrang or Beauxbatons. It would be lovely to have them, but there are minimal details on them and therefore they should be left out of the picture until J.K. Rowling can elaborate and then maybe they can be added in a free download or cheap expansion pack. But if there is no way of consoles cooperating together in a game like this, it should only be made for the PC. That is my stance on this subject. PC’s are the sole consoles for most mmorpg’s that exist today.
what about macs. This game should definetely be released for the computer, but there should be a way for mac users to download it and turn down the graphics. This way they dont get the same experience pc users get but they still get to play the game at least. Btw there is no possible way for all consoles to interact from what im aware of. And it also wouldnt work because ps3 runs games with much higher graphics than xbox and computers run graphics higher than anything. As for Macs WOW was able to make it mac friendly.
I believe that this would not work on consoles due to the complexity. If at all it would need to be geared towards windows users, hence most of the computer population. A random point but the physics engine and system thats would recognize the nodes of characters and objects, I personally would want it within .00001 % of actual scale of real life. e.g. jumping on objects, hitting objects,size, and rate and damage of falling objects
I guess the time one Potter MMO will come PS4 and xbox 720 will be there. Also i guess about Durmstrang or Beauxbatons.It should be there but should be more like hogwarts, Also i think a wand should not be there.
xbox 720 lulz.
they’d be so stupid to not make this before we get to the next-gen consoles…
the wii version would be cool too
is it possible to get into major trouble for posting on this forum? This is a question for james devlin.
oh and i think this should be an 18 because if you want this to be the total experience as a wizard but remember, you are still a person, so what about children? i mean, i don’t want this to be totally disgusting but it can’t just be like, oh look a child appeared, it would bring the game to new heights since i dont think any other game has done this.
yeah! like in fable, you can pick a spouse and have a child, it should be the same way here. no sex or anything, but a child NPC should be added to the world and be a liability and someone you have to protect or you lose karma points…or whatever.
also in fable children are indestructible should probably be in potter also
> is it possible to get into major trouble for posting on this forum? This is a question for james devlin.
nope. why would it be? i mean, if you post something offensive or spammy, it’ll get deleted eventually. same way with any website. but no major trouble other than that.
Also, I think that instead of just earning spells when you gain levels or whatever, each spell should have a puzzle of some sort you have to solve before “mastering” that spell. make it interactive, not just a list of spells on some screen.
Ok some of these ideas are too crazy. We are only trying to brainstorm ideas. WE SHOULD ONLY BE FOCUSING ONE PCS WITH WINDOWS. That should be the platform and maybe the PS3 and macs later. And our characters should not have spouses or children. Keep it simple and realistic. All most people on this site want is a character that reflects us but is a wizard. Oh and this game should reach out to all ages but their should be servers specifically for young adults and then a separate server for really young children. And whoever mentioned the physics of this game is absolutely right. It needs to be as realistic as possible when it comes to player movement. Oh and I’d love to be able to view actual constellations in the astronomy tower and be told the stories that they are named for. I think that could be an amazing highlight to the game, and constellation appearances should be accurate to the Scottish calendar (Hogwarts is located in Scotland so constellations should appear at the correct times in the school year). And the Shrieking Shack should be really difficult to get to. The player should have to aim an object as the Whomping Willow’s branches swing and try to hit the knot that freezes the tree.
yeah that would be sick. The physics need to be great, but i also agree the with idea of getting married, and realistic things like this. However, you need to be a certain age (17) in the game. This would make the game much more realistic and it would immerse yourself into the game. No children though. Dealing with all those NPCs would be too difficult and would make it to complex.The womping willow is a good idea to, but arnt you also able to enter the shreaking shack through hogsmeade? The constelations IS A GREAT idea, they could move around and the astronomy classes would have to be at certain times to see certain constelations, just like in the books. The Leader of the “enemies/ bad guys” should be someone besides voldemort. Maybe it could be like Grinewald made hocruxes without anyone knowing. Voldemort was finished and the books should be part of the history of magic classes, the better you do the more you unlock. This way the more harry potter fan you are the more you unlock basically. Finally a way to put the harry potter knowledge to the test.
I don’t think that there should be a true separation between bad and good forces. I think the so-called “bad” forces should just be young wizards who specialize in dark magic, whereas everyone else focuses on more beneficial magic. As a friend told me, there is not true good or bad team on the game Warcraft, it just that younger children tend to view one team as the good team and therefore join it while the rest of the players have the same goals as the good side but are classified as “The Horde” which makes them sound evil. So I believe that it should be completely up to the player to pursue a different type of magic, and only differences in magical skills should separate a “good” wizard from a “bad” one. For example, “good” wizards should be able to cast patronuses and “bad” wizards should be able to conjure fiendfyre and spells such as Dolohov’s curse and others seen in the movies e.g. the scene in the Ministry where Voldemort shatters the glass and hurls it at Dumbledore who reduces it to dust. That way each side has a set of some pretty amazing moves. “Good” wizards should also have better Transfiguration and Charm skills where as “bad” wizards have the ability to excel in DADA. Also, like Warcraft, players should be able to form guilds, and I think a Protean charm coin should be in a player’s inventory as a sign of their membership like in Dumbledore’s Army where they have the coin that tells members when to meet if I remember correctly. Guilds should be combinations of wizards with specific skills. I am absolutely obsessed with specializing in Transfiguration because I want to be able to turn objects into items to solve puzzles, and I want some awesome offensive spells to turn Slytherin and other students into ferrets like Malfoy. Oh and although this may be a stupid idea, I really want to be able to go to Godric’s Hollow and sign my name on the fence in front of Harry’s house like in Deathly Hallows and write a note that will be engraved on there forever. All players should be able to do that. It would be epic.
Oh and not to be unfair to people who will take my route as a “good” wizard, but those who specialize in dark magic should have special access to a monthly Borgin and Burke’s catalogue that is unaccessable by other wizards. In return, “good” wizards should have special access to Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes. I know everyone would want access to the Weasley brothers’ store, but there needs to be a separation in the types of items sold to different wizards. And trading between all characters should be possible, so if a “good” wizard is really in need of a product only sold at Borgin and Burke’s, then he/she can exchange a purchase from WWW for the desired product with a “bad” wizard.
I understand it sounds a little strange, but I think it would be really cool if there were differences in the playing experiences of the two categories of wizards. That way, they each have their own unique advantages and an extremely versatile gameplay that satisfies the wants of those with a little dark side in them, and the fans who back Hogwarts all the way. Oh and players should definitely be able to gain interest in their Gringotts accounts at a steady rate. There should be a fixed percentage that determines how much money you gain on each visit so that we can all save up for the items we want.
I don’t know about having it on the consoles.. If the consoles are limited as to what you can do in the game, the pc will absolutely HAVE to have those limits too. They can’t have the pc version be 10x better than a console version. I think they should make it on the pc so that they won’t have an issue of worrying about the limits of everything you can do. Think about it.. how are you going to get married on a console when you can’t type to them? Besides.. if you have it on a console, chances are you will be marrying a guy, just sayin
Yeah like playing on PlaystationHome.. It takes time for you to say something and to chat to your friends.. (Unless you have the keypad of course) I prefer more to PC..
i think you should be able to have a girlfriend or a boyfriend in the game
I kinda disagree with the girlfriend-boyfriend thing. I mean its just gonna be another alternative dating service. But yeah you should be able to if you want. Maybe a little note on your profile saying your in a relationship. And I think there should be console versions. I mean, whats wrong with more fun and more cash? $$$$
They need to focus only on the PC. It will take several more years to produce a game like this if they adapt it for consoles. So it is sort of out of the question. Unless everyone here wants to wait 5 years for this game to come out.
AND NO MARRIAGE. Relationships will make this game more like a dating and chat service like facebook. Keep it real and just for hardcore Harry Potter fans who want to enjoy magic, not fake relationships.
but why???????????? i mean Harry is dating too in Hogwarts, it would make the game more popular
But it would also make it more corrupt because of all the desperate people who will try anything to get a date. And yes, it should only be focused on the PC.
well what they could do to keep the dating out of the question is that you can do it but starts at a certain age in the game/lvl. This would make it so that if you wanted to date you could only date after youve proven your in the game because your a fan. And Making the Game for PC only would be good because macs now have programs to run it an making it for consoles would be way to complex as i said before.
Possibly Blake. But Larry Porter is exactly right. There are people out there who will become obsessed, and honestly, it’s not healthy to have a fake relationship on a game. It takes away from real life. And makes a person a lot less sociable.
Ok, then forget the dating part.. personally I think that would end up being a disaster for people who take it too seriously and do something bad to themselves if a person they didn’t even know virtually broke up with them. But what about being able to interact the characters with other characters. In lots of MMORPG’s, the only way you can interact with them is by whacking them with a sword or nailing them in the face with magic. What if someone is bugging you? We should be able to push them or cast a spell that turns them into something for a short time, or knocks them back? (without causing any harm of course) Or maybe just a simple high five? They could make it to where you send a request to someone for you to give a high five or somethin… That could probably lead to more and more possibilities.. It’s just a thought.
Oh, and they should also try and make the Quidditch as detailed as possible.. which means to be able to throw something at their face >:)
It won’t be THAT hard to create Quidditch. I mean, we already have really detailed systems in our sport videogames today: Fifa 10, NBA 10, etc… (Although none of our sports require flying.)
I’ve played before Harry Potter : Quidditch World Cup.. And its kinda cool.. Why not making it MMO.. It will be awesome.. But I want it kinda different and real.. Like u oready have a fixed postion as a Striker or a Midfielder.. You know what i mean?
Oh to answer your question Kyle, if someone is annoying us we should be able to use any spells in our repertoire. Also, they should take Quidditch World Cup, enhance the graphics and gameplay and then put it in the mmorpg. As long as it looks realistic I am all for it.
i would be willing to pay for a quidditch expansion and even a hogsmeade expansion, if they were about $25 or ÂŁ15 each
idk how well quiditch would work in this game, i mean if they were able to do it i would be all for it. But realistically not everyone would be able to make the team and also, how would tryouts be held for thousands/possibly millions of players? Just my take. maybe there are options like buying your way onto the team or earning your spot but im not sure.
It wouldn’t be that hard. I mean, just create your own team. Or maybe you join on a team with anonymous players like a minigame.
yeah, but im thinking that if they could find a way to get to the pros and get a spot on the team. Then you could like pay a fee (in game) to watch or something. then its like a tournament and you support the team you want to win. thats what i was thinking, but it probably wouldnt work, due to the amount of people playing the game.
If it works that would be cool because then students could bet things on the matches like really cool items. Also, a really big factor is trading. They should NOT make it like runescape. Players should be able to trade WHAT EVER THEY WANT! There should be no restrictions. (Except ofcourse on necessities like your wand and school books.)
I’m happy aslong as it don’t follow any story line. That we’ll make it ourself. Meaning by that that we could be a few years after Harry Potter left Hogwarts.
If you would be able to buy your way into the quidditch team that would be unfair.. I think that we should be able to create our own quidditch team manually, and be able to train and work with each other. We should also be able to fly on a broom wherever we want, that would be pretty sweet.
But of course there’s gonna need to be restrictions. You can’t just fly into the Ministry of Magic whenever you feel like it.
as i said before, i think there should be restrictions on where you can use your broom, cause lets face it how annoying would that be in the great hall. Also the whole point of being able to buy yourself on the team is to be unfair just like how malfoy bought his way on. It was unfair to everyone else and was frowned upon.
Pardon Josh, I agree with some of your ideas but the head auror and headmaster should not be bosses. Minor dark wizards and dangerous beasts should be bosses or just random creatures that roam in the Forbidden Forest and other areas of the wizarding world. Additionally, horcruxes are a type of dark magic that players should NOT be able to use. It would be dumb for a player to have to track down random items to destroy to make another player mortal. Fiendfyre is a much more reasonable and AMAZING spell. Oh and you are right in saying that there should be random NPC-activated events, but they should completely differ depending on whether a student chooses to study dark or good magic. I mean to say, that good students should be able to perform events helping others, and dark wizards should be able to rob Gringotts. Gringotts should have a huge interior, and different magical spells should be used to open specific vaults and secret treasures and magical creatures guarding them should be hidden deep in the depths (like near Bellatrix Lestrange and all old wizarding families who have vaults). Oh and I love your suggestion of a wizard vigilante. I really want to have the opportunity to have mass battles with spells flying everywhere, and we as wizards should be able to interact with all parts of our environment, so that if a spell misses and hits a glass window it should break, but not to the point where we can burn down buildings. And as I stated a long time ago, concerning the quidditch field, I know we all want to play, but in reality we need a set of the pros who beat others in a tournament to get their way onto the House quidditch team, and we can all spectate, but play quidditch with friends when the quidditch pitch is not being used for an actual game. I know a lot of people will disagree with this, but there is disappointment in the Harry Potter world of the books and movies, and we can’t all get on the Quidditch team. Plus it can be really fun to socialize while watching a game, and there should be spectator bonuses and items that we can put in our inventories and wear when we are rooting our teams (like Luna wearing the lion head in the sixth movie). Also, we should be able to bet large sums of money and rare items, and companions should be obtained through rare NPC situations, like meeting a strange “Greek chappie” like Hagrid did in the first book and when he ended up revealing that Fluffy the three-headed dog was his. Companions should enhance your magic stats, and animals such as the phoenix and small dragons should be very expensive and rare (I mean they should be able to be seen by students flying over landscapes, but should be difficult to pursue and domesticate or should randomly show up in Diagon Alley shops one at a time at random intervals.
the house cup definetely need to be a part of it, i think thats NPCs should show up randomly in diffrent areas of the castle, and whichever house helps them first will get the house points.
Maybe by doing quests like helping teachers, Completing tests with above average levels, etc… should give you house points. And on the point of tests, that would be reeeaaallly cool.
i don’t think doing quests should get you house points, i think it should be like answering questions for teachers handing in god assignments, etc
yeah, and honestly id think there should be hw assignments for the classes. I already have school. I thing that instead of assignments its more like in class work/questions.
i just started to play with Cabal Online and it’s not bad. The Harry Potter game should be like it
Cabal online is really good. Never tried it though. And the thing is, will a school year actually be the length of a REAL year?
no, you end the year after you completed all the quests and lessons
Oh yeah, thatll be cool.
OMG all of your guyss ideas sound so amazing! i totally cant wait for someone to make this.
i actually have a wii game for hry ptr 6 but it would be so much better if it was mmo
i agree i think the year should be over after all the lesssons
btw have you guys seen the other harry potter games online they suck! nothing but blogs!
i think you can make other people as friends and be able do do different things with them
i also thing another interesting part would be like dementors. what would they do to you . what if like you do something wrong and the ministry sends a bunch of dementors after you
and the patronusses. they have mto be peronalized like in the books. you should be able to choose your patronus
here’s something to think about: NO EA GAMES - EA BLOWS UNLESS IT COMES TO SPORTS GAMES
now for more on the game - the first 7 levels are in Hogwarts, but the rest after that are whatever job the student goes into. With each level up, the character gets older. So now you open up the WHOLE wizarding world with TONS of different jobs and allegiances. this will make things more expansive and it will ame keach player more unique.
I swear, NO EA! Besides, have you seen the Harry Potter 6 game on wii? I didn’t like it as much as the others.
hey it would be great if there would be rivalry between the houses. for example you get more XP if you’re a slytherin and you defeat a gryffindor
Yes, you should be able to choose your patronus. But the wand must still choose you. A quiz should be taken to receive a specific wand. If you answer the questions in favor of being friendly towards others you should have unicorn hair as your core, and if you are looking for power, chimaera scale or phoenix feather, or if you like dark magic, runespoor fang. These cores were never officially confirmed by J.K. Rowling but they are on a website. And I definitely think wandwood should affect which subjects you excel at. James Potter had a mahogany wand that made him really good in transfiguration. And I know most of us are denying EA the right to create this game, but they should join with another company because as we said, they are good at making sports. Quidditch is a sport. And it could reach its full potential if EA was producing this game. I have never played an EA game with sports involved, but a friend of mine has the new NBA game, and he says the graphics and gameplay are really good. Also they created the old Lord of the Rings games on the PS2 which had fairly decent combat and some awesome combos. And some of their art for the boathouse and the rest of the castle was spot on in the Order of the Phoenix game (The inclusion of tapestries, paintings with several passwords, and the inclusion of the rarely-mentioned boathouse). Which gives me another idea. We should be able to meet with friends and go on boat rides over the Black Lake, and there should be occasional sightings of the giant squid whenever someone falls out. House ghosts should also have quests like if you are in Gryffindor, you have to convince the Headless Hunt to allow Nearly Headless Nick into their order, or if you are in Ravenclaw you have to retrieve a book for the Grey Lady (Helena Ravenclaw), or if you are in Hufflepuff you must retrieve a Bible for the Fat Friar etc. And greyback, you are completely right in suggesting rivalry between houses. It will make the gaming experience much more intense.
Just a quick poll, and include ideas with your replies so it isn’t just spam. What houses do most people here want to be in? Just curious.
Oh and for any of you who want to see what a good example of an mmo looks like, I just learned that there is one coming out called Star Wars the Old Republic. This is just one example of how a successful franchise can be turned into an mmo. The commentary on youtube of the fluid combat system and perks for different classes is a good point. And also, they mention in the video how it imitates the movies with intense action scenes and different ways to finish off opponents. Also I was thinking about it, but to keep the world accurate, players should not be able to start their own shops in Diagon Alley or attain the position of Minister or Headmaster. We should be able to become managers of already-existing shops in Diagon Alley, or members of different departments within the Ministry. Also, keep this in mind that if you choose to be a half-blood creature (e.g. half man half mountain troll like Hagrid) according to the books you cannot use Polyjuice potion because it only disguises humans. There need to be perks for each class. If you are part veela you should be able to charm others and get brownie points with teachers, if you are part leprechaun, you should have good luck and strong but unpredictable magic skills and so on. And there need to be dark equivalents to each good class. Part garden gnome students could be the dark equivalent to leprechauns and I’ll think of more reasonable ideas.
for that poll for the person who is curious, i’d want to be in gryffindor, not because it’s harry’s house, i just think that i am a person that fits the description if you know what i mean.
i’d definietly be in slytherin, but that’s the problem:everyone would want to be in gryffindor or slytherin
And also:this game would be good becouse it wouldn’t be like all the other mmorpg’s:it would not just be about killing beasts like in Metin2,Gates of Andaron, Cabal or World of Warcraft and many more
i want to be in ravenclaw because i am smart and personally i just prefer ravenclaw
I want to be Hufflepuff.. Its like me at my school = Just passing by.. Hahaa
I think hufflepuff would fit my description best. And while we’re on this subject, anyone ever wonder what house Hagrid was in? I really wanna know..
But considering people thought he was the Heir of Slytherin, there’s a chance that he could have been in Slytherin.
no, Rowling actually mentioned he was in gryffindor
hagrid was in hufflepuff, i think it mentions it in chamber of secrets.
no, it doesn’t (but does it really matter?)
Idk, I was just wondering…
I truthfully believe that all the houses are pretty amazing. I’d rather not choose my house but be chosen to keep true to Harry Potter. That way, there will be a near equal amount of students in each house. Oh and I’m a definite Ravenclaw WHOO! I studied 7 hours for several tests last night if that means anything :). I would definitely choose Ravenclaw if I could, but I think if the sorting hat was really accurate at determining personality, I would get sorted there anyway. I’m a huge overachiever. But I really respect the traits of Hufflepuffs because Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are the underdogs, but their qualities are great. I’d like to be known for kindness or intelligence honestly. Another thing I was thinking is that the suits of armor like in the books and games on the gameboy and gameboy color (wow it’s been some time) should be able to come alive and attack you. Oh and I haven’t mentioned this before, but what is everybody’s stance on the use of time-turners?
turns out i was wrong:most people want to be in Ravenclaw
i would love time turners, but i don’t think suits should attack you
Well McGonnagal does bring them alive in the Battle of Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows.
Yeah, lol. She’s all like: “DO YOUR DUTY FOR YOUR SCHOOL! ATTACK!” But they shouldnt attack you. Only a spell could bring them to life.
they should only be kind of funny because in the games you see them move a bit, also they should only fight in like a huge battle, imagine a one man (or child) vs school kind of thing, talk about a one man army…
Yeah, youd get totally creamed
this would be awesome fp!! if only someone takes it up! it would be greater than WOW
Uhuh (:
LOLOLOLOLOL AWESOMELY STUPID did you guys see this?

LOL XD.Just checked it out
SO FUNNY how they’ll do anything to sell books.
Haha, “Harry Potter and the Leopard Walk-Up-To Dragon”, DEFINITELY include this in the game, plz. Leopard walk-up-dragons are a key part of any gaming experience.
Definitely
Losing faith? What’s with the lack of comments?
were all thinkng, we’ve said all the good ideas and now we need to think up more.
sorry that was me above.
—_____________________— Thinking…… Hey, what about apparation? I mean, in the game we cant just teleport anywhere we want right? And what if we splinch?
yes have ran low on ideas waiting to see if more come to me. But what about incorporating it into a Virtual headset wirelessly linked with other headsets.
Yeh, wireless team chat. Thatd be good.
that would be cool
Imagine how popular that could become…
but many people will play this game who can’t speak english
so there would be diffrent servers for diffrent countries i would imagine. So language wouldnt be that big of an issue. as for splinching i think there should be like a 50% chance you slinch untill you pass the test for it.
good idea,
Then when you pass the test, maybe 10%
just for a risk
And If you splinch, what you just gain damage? Thats pretty stupid considering splinching is deadly.
Here’s an idea.. post this link up on facebook and start getting some people to start reading this
Oh, and with the whole homework assignment things.. maybe it could be a quest that has you make some potion or cast a spell perfectly instead of having homework on top of real life homework..
Expect to hear an announcement from E3 this year regarding a Harry Potter MMO. It’s being developed by Turbine and will be released by Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment. It will be on the PC and the XBox 360 with the PS3 at a later date. Sorry, Wii…no MMO for you. It will probably come out Q4 2010 or Q1 2011, to coincide with the films.
You’ve got to be kidding me?? WOW! That’s great..
For once I actually believe this guy. E3 is one of the biggest gaming events of the year. They release small bits of info on games coming out anywhere from a few weeks to a year. It’s probably legitimate. And both Turbine and Warner Bros. made the Lord of the Rings MMO. But if this Insider guy got the information, then why didn’t anyone else post any factual news articles that this is being released. And this seems a little soon to come out with one. When you search MMORPG though, there is an article that discusses some mysterious funding for turbine. So maybe they have been working on one for a few years. Then again, wouldn’t information have been leaked by now? Games can only be kept secrets for a certain amount of time.
COOL! I actually believe this guy too. And btw this is posted on facebook.
Okay, I really do hope that an harry potter MMO do come out.
But until it get approved Guild wars 2 is the best game in production
Take some time and read this:
http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/dynamic-events/dynamic-events-overview/
where did all them weird posts go?
do you guys think EA has seen this?
maybe, not sure, i forgot his name but he did say he emailed them and they saw it but still, i don’t know.
im hoping they have and took some of the coment suggestions too,
so whats you guys take on leaving the school before you graduate?
should you be able to leave at will, or just go to hogsmeade once you reach third year i believe?
i agree on the hogsmeade at third year but to actually leave school before graduating i think you could escape and then be chased around.
also, maybe at third year get a job at hogsmeade in honeydukes or something every time you go down there.
what i think would be a cool thing to have in a harry potter mmorpg, is like a bounty hunter feature, where they give u clues on how to find a certain bad guy, and whoever finds it and kills it gets a reward, like money or exp or something… also some kind good vs. bad option, like in wow horde vs. alliance… just some thoughts tho
I think we should be able to leave school, but we should only be able to get jobs at already-existing stores. Otherwise there would be an overflow of jobs. Personally, in the summer I’d want to work at Florian Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor.
Yeah, he could tell all you need to know about medieval witch burning…
Lol
i think after you finish school, you should get a diploma with how many OWL’s you got, and the more you got, the better job you can get
wow dude great idea nice teaser pics ive been looking for a harry potter mmorpg 4ever and just btb theres more shcools than just hogwarts bobatum and durmstarng and i think they sould use all those schools as diferent worlds like wow does but all in all great idea
The two year anniversary of this particular forum is coming up. Wow we’ve held out.
yeah that is amazing, and in the post before by brian boyd i’ve never heard of bobatum and durmstarng!
LOL tekken
Wow 2 years… :’(
2 years omg..
Been a long time, but it’s gonna take way longer for this game to be completed and actually come out. But either way, this lpace has held up.
ya and its 1 year ive been a fan of tis site..
thats me up there.. im using another computer, so it doesnt save my name..
I know were all amazed at how long it’s been but can we please get back to the ideas?!
We would tekken, but there isn’t much more to say. We’ve listed all our ideas.
there must be more, do you think you should be able to break out of school, and smuggle things in?
We already kind of covered that. I suggested smuggling in Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder from Fred and George’s and as for breaking out of the school, we mentioned that authorities should track you down.
i think i would smuggle love potion, the darkness powder and that sleeping powder, also, in the game what would be the darkest thing you could do?
Murder a civilian. I would so take a student and knock them off the clocktower. Lol just kidding.
I would break all of the prizoners out of azkaban and then kill them all.
lol
not really
Wat bout if your the Prisoner of Azkaban and if u try to get out of there and u succeed.. The dementors will chase after you until you go back to Azkaban.. But if u have learned the spell to attack the dementors maybe u could stop them..
I would LOVE to do that!
I’d love to play an harry potter mmorpg, I think it will beat most games! and if any of these points doesnt interest jk rowling ea games or whatever. I’d advice them to think about the money they could make! x] all ur points are really good m8
lets hope they will listen!
Basically, yes we have listed everything. But, we should keep thinking…I for one, am.
same here, how about if we like stun a dragon we then can try and tame it and keep it as a pet, i would want the hungarian horntail, then again who wouldn’t!
Speaking of the hungarian horntail, IGN Entertainment just released news of EA’s Deathly Hallows game and it looks AMAZING! Check it out on youtube. I think they are using the hungarian horntail as the dragon that guards the vault in Gringotts. It looks like if they took that same format, they could make an mmorpg. The spell casting system looks amazing.
**I love harry potter and i can’t wait for the game to come out. The people who don’t like harry potter SUCK. I just ordered harry potter and the half blood prince game for the computer. I read all the books like a million of times. If you don’t like harry potter then don’t comment. Your just wasting time in your life. Any of you who like harry potter movies games and anything else Harry Potter related don’t stop liking harry potter it is awesome. I wish I could use avada kedavra and crusio on the people who talk badly about harry potter because all of you people who hate Harry Potter out there are SUCKIN MUDBLOODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THE GAME COMES OUT FOR THIS! i ALSO AGREE WITH YOU JOSEPH THE NEW HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS DOES LOOK AMAZING
I JUST REMEMBERED!!!!!!!! THE MAURAUDERS MAP!!! we should be able to like get it and find a bunch of secret passages and see where everyone is!
GO TO LEMONPARTY
WOW, easy HarryPotter123866…we’re all fans too. But yeah, I still hate all those losers that make fun of Harry Potter because it’s “nerdy” -.-
well, some people do give us fans bad names, not talking about anyone on this forum though.
Ok we should take a poll here. What time period should the game take place in? I personally vote after Harry’s generation, but I was thinking it could be cool and untraditional to have it when the trio are away in seventh year.
