Since we have all these mmo's that are based on good and evil setup, why not use the ultimate good/evil source of our time?

I think the Bible would be an excellent lore for an historical/real-time mmo

With the true epic battle of God and Satan, along with stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah,

Moses, king David, Samson, Solomon, John the Baptist and ofc Jesus

Gods army, the angels, Jesus and his diciples and all his followers  would ofc be the good side,

while the evil side could be represented by the Lucifer's army, the Romans, Sodom and Gomorrah, Pharisees and Sadducees, the scribes

Pontius Pilate could be somewhat indifferent.

Well I think it could work anyway, at least the story would be epic.

no

I lol'd in a way, since bible is a damn good fantasy book, but it won't happen with all these christians roaming around.

omg stop stop..

I'm still waiting on World of JehovahsWitnessCraft

double exp if they actually let you in their house.

I'm sorry we don't need another fantasy themed mmo.

And whose interpretation of the bible will you use?  How do you intend to prevent insulting those who follow that version?  How do you intend to prevent insulting those who follow another version?

Christians would go ape shit if it didn't force some narrow minded moral imperative on every player and I just don't see any developer with the balls to give it the proper fantasy treatment.

But if I could be a legionary in a Roman Legion and slaughter Believers I'd play fo' sho'.

Your right, it is pretty much the ultimate source for good vs evil mmo

And there is one under developement. Though I am not at liberty to reveal it to much. :)

Their way of getting out from under the version question was, to use the bible as the setting, not the story.

They based the game world on the bible, then made their own story.

And I personally think its not exactly the best mmo, its the exact opposite, it has great story, setting, content, but the engine and mechanics stink. :(

I think the thought of royalty fees to all the different sects would cripple this game  from even getting started :p
