Fundraising idea - kickstarter

[Namroc]

The mention of Kickstarter or crowd funding in general got me thinking. I can understand the whole legal issue regarding Kickstarter and trying to purchase the MXO source code, but what about using crowd funding to fund a whole new game that is inspired and contents elements of MXO without being directly related to The Matrix universes?.

Granted money itself won't make a game as obviously you need software developers, graphic artists etc, but if a group of people with those skills and interest in MMO's could be brought together then using say Kickstarter to fund the project I think it could work.

I'll admit that I haven't really played an MMO since MXO closed, so apart from maybe one or two games I don't really know what's out there or what is in development, but imagine this..........

An MMO in a real world type setting that features both weapon and hand to hand combat.

An MMO where you can "upload" and "download" abilities on the fly.

An MMO that features live events and makes you part of the ongoing storyline.

Basically a Cyberpunk MMO that is inspired by The Matrix. Does anyone fancy getting together and tossing a few ideas about to see if it's feasible?
