Imagining GTA Online - Diverse Genres In MMORPGs

Thanks to 1UP for their 'Pray For It' article discussing an ideal, but unfortunately fictional game of their dreams, Grand Theft Auto Online. In envisioning "taking the basic template from Grand Theft Auto III and just adding more than one enterprising thug", as well as players banding together ("Once you get your own criminal operation started - kind of like a clan or guild - you can start enlisting the newbies to do jobs for you"), the author gets into a sure-to-be-controversial mini-rant regarding a perceived lack of diversity: "What's wrong with online RPGs is content. Why are they all fantasy games?... Who decided that you couldn't make an online RPG about anything?"

One non-fantasy game coming up is a Matrix on-line game...I'm kinda looking forward to that one.

If you want to see what GTA3 would look like with more than one enterprising thug, check out Multi Theft Auto, the first (but not only) multi player mod for GTA. Only having the PS2 version, I can't speak for the quality but I've heard really good things.
