Thwack Mode on...

This series has massive potential to be made into a MMORPG.

You could have different classes such as:

Accountant

Temp

Receptionist

Salesman

Manager

Janitor

...and many more.

And choose from different races

American (standard stats)

Japanese  (Making good accountants)

Russian

Italian

German

African American

the list is endless.


I just think it's a golden opportunity to make an uber MMORPG that could be a WoW beater.
I'm surprised the makers of "The Office" both UK and USA versions have not caught onto this cash cow as yet.

Or maybe it's already in production and they're just staying tight lipped about it.

It's different, and people can relate to it, it could be huge.

Racial Stereotype Stats?

I believe the concept you have is comical in its own sense, but I can see others hopping on the post as an picking it apart based on the racial stats there.  Other than that... how do you fit in PvP since it seems every MMO has to have it in there to be considered "good"?  

Paperclip wars?

Hits too close to home for me, as I've actually worked in an office much like that. It seems funny to watch it on tv, but if you are actually living it it's not so great. Playing it as a game just sounds boring.

Cry Havok; and let loose the dogs of war.

Omg omg so true, next we should make an mmo based on real life, Call it "God i hate my Job", spend 20 hours a busting your ass filing papers and faxing stuff, trying to get the promotion and then it goes to the kiss ass who comes in early every day and washes the bosses care twice a week, by hand.

 

Sounds like fun to me, i would pay 20 bucks a month for that... or i would just goto work more often, either or.
