I really love, and really miss, healing in wow raids circa WOTLK through Cata, specifically using healnot and custom keybinds to keep people alive. I don't have time or budget for an MMO in my late 30s, nor do I see that easing up anytime soon.

I think a game where you had to do raid mechanics/puzzles while keeping NPCs alive through healing could be really fun, even without a loot grind. Or a game that dropped you into a multiplayer raid encounter without the crap around it. Either could be great.

I'd like to play a video game that would level up my real life stats.

I would love something like Hellgate London (I think that was its name?), doesn't have to have the same premise, but needs to be a lot less buggy, no p2w, and more production value

Monster Hunter as a MMORPG.

I know there’s a similar idea in China-only but it feels a little dated, I’d like MHRise style

In The Valley of Gods... from the developers of Firewatch, too bad they've been acquired by Valve and they abandoned the project

Aight I got one I think is oddly specific, and another that's just odd.

I'd like Starport: GE but as a fantasy RPG theme, instead of ships and colonies it's classes and villages, work the reputation system into a good/evil alignment and change some gameplay.
Not sure about this one but I would like a hub system, only thing that comes to mind for me is realm of the mad god, allowing you to go from one server to another with limited items.

On that note I should probably try to play starport again, has been a number of years.

Other than that, maybe a 1v1 auto battler? A mix of part of a dream into hazy dozing in and out put an idea for an auto battler where you have four incubators and six chicken eggs and each incubator changes what type of chick hatches, where they then fall into the arena to start combat. The choice of incubators and which ones your remaining two reinforcement eggs go in to I think would make an interesting head to head game.

A good sandbox MMO that people actually play, and doesn't have a high barrier of entry.

A VR game which is basically a room with a plethora of board games. So you can play with people from all over the world. Come on Hasbro make it happen

Dynasty Warriors with Path of Exile's crunchiness

And it should have the soundtrack like DW6 did because that shit ruled

A game where the main missions feel like the early Silent Hill games but there are parts between where you explore a densely populated urban area like Cyberpunk 2077

Roguelike exploration without the endless list of items and far less scaling.

Like if Valheim complexity ended at Dark Forest, but had the same variety of areas to explore. Honestly Valheim with less scaling.

I want Space Engineers, but better.

Building vehicles, ships, and bases block by block as your character is mechanic I enjoy that I haven't seen elsewhere. I also like the resource gathering. But I would like better physics, better enemy interactions and AI, and water instead of just ice.

...and how much would you pay for a pre-order special edition that came with a free in game hat for your character?

No man's sky but focused as a shooter mmo. Imagine clans of 100+ people fighting on planet and in space to control galaxies

I wanna build a fort and shoot at zombies on my phone with friends and can't seem to find someone to take my money.

Kingdom hearts style combat with co-op campaign

Oh my.

If I collected all the visual information I saw in some dreams I have had about video games...would I be rich now?

There are far too few VR co-op games. The ones that exist are mostly shooters.
