I actually wish more MMOs would do this as their population wanes after 7-10 years. I loved how Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 were the same universe and how things you did in Guild Wars would give you cosmetic rewards and titles in Guild Wars 2. Since the timeline was about 250 years apart they called it your Heritage system so it was like getting heirlooms passed down by your ancestors.
I wish Blizzard (who I completely believe has given up on the MMO genre and only cares about where the money is so F2P Mobas) would consider a World of Warcraft 2 and advance the story a few generations in a few years to give people who loved the mythos of Azeroth a place to go when the game eventually twilights (doesnt have to shutdown but goes towards maintainence mode).

Yeah, it's a double edge sword but there are definitely some MMORPGs that I would love to see have a sequel done properly, Vanguard is top of that list for me! :)
EQ1. EQ2 wasn't good at all. I actually kind of Hated EQ2.
EQ Next should have been EQ1 remade, Landmark put in combat (which should transfer to EQN) (if the game isn't just vaporware) and the combat is the worst thing i have ever seen in an mmo.
It's like a first person shooter game instead of mmo. I hope daybreak has trashed what was there and started over.
World of Warcraft 2 could be cool if it was done Right. Made it less of an epeen, twitch controls, gear score check.

If they created a mature Diablo themed mmo aimed at the older gerenation of mmo'ers... (as in abit like WoW vanilla but abit harder) and kept WoW for the kids... That'd be fantastic.
Anyway.. getting back to the OP's topic..
It's funny that you mention this OP, but up until recently I thought a certain game's sequel was never going to be made. I wished for many years.. and it's finally happening.
System Shock 3. However.. I'm also scared because within this day & age it could become "consolised" (as in a classic pc game with cut corners so that appeals to a bigger market(console) - but ruins it for the die hards), however some of the originals are doing it and it's crowd funded so it might be safe.
The second game I wish for is a redone Everquest 1 as a REAL Everquest 2. Same lines as Medjai :)

Absolutely.
World of Warcraft. Not the thing it has become, but the thing it was when it first came out. “WoW Vanilla”. I was in the beta and it started out much, much different, more complex, and much harder… more like EQ1. I had a lot of fun in the early days of WoW. It’s too bad it changed so much.

EQ2 was not EQ 2, if you know what i mean. Just like the real diablo 3 games were Guildwars and Hellgate: London.
