no offense, but that's the worst idea I've ever heard.  GalCiv is, and always should be a single player 4x game with great AI.

Why?

I'm serious here. Most of the multiplayer crowd want multiplayer and singleplayer. But why make it an MMO? As someone who almost only ever uses single player, and the only conditions I do play multiplayer is hotseat on Civ4 or something, I don't really care about MM. And I especially wouldn't want a MMO.

I don't mean to offend, but I can see no reason for the idea at all. You yourself say that only a handful of 4x MMOs have been done, and none have been very successful.

the children eventually replace those older, as it should be.  maybe we have not taught them well.  maybe they have not experienced hard times or struggle.  in any event, i'm rethinking my position on abortion.

Hey now, don't go denigrating a practical technology like that. A douche can be a good thing for people of all genders in a wide range of circumstances. Although I admit listening to a douche is proboably useless at best and mostly a bit gross...

I will continue believing Galciv as an MMO is a good idea until Brad Wardell himself tells me otherwise.

who dares summon the chrimson avenger! oh hai slurple. i suppose i must be the one to connect the concept of the douche to your avatar. yuck, i hate that tuna catfood smell.

so he already told you. now go splort some hygene mixture on that thang and do not summon me here again.

Massive Single Player Online, next. Better known as MSPO or enhanced Metaverse where the usual TBS process taps an IP portal wide enough to make duel games private and thus, preventing chat freaks & idiots from invading my continual decisions against AI+ still unknown. It's nine opponents as of now, one of these may be you.

   be careful what you ask for.
