Friggin' Koreans and their cool-as-sh*t MMO scene. We get Free Realms and the endless parade of World of Warcraft updates, while they get the stuff I actually want, like Rockman Online -- this happens to be the only Mega Man known to be in active production, by the way. Oh, and how about a Power Rangers game for good measure?
A teaser site has just opened up for Power Rangers Online, a side-scrolling action RPG with a closed beta scheduled for later this year. It's being developed by IronNos (developers of PSP's Crimson Gem Saga) and co-published by Ntreev (developers of the PangYa golf series). Naturally, nothing has been said about the possibility of release outside Korea.
As for which Rangers series will be represented, we don't know. The Mystic Force Rangers are splashed across the game's page, and according to Wikipedia, the earliest series to air in Korea has been Jungle Force (known as Wild Force in the US). Therefore, the Mighty Morphin team will most likely remain absent.
Still, I want this game. Why won't you let me give you guys my money?

Tony: "FFFFFUUUU"
Wild Force still had Megazords, its pretty much the staple of any Power Rangers Series.
Everything else though? Cool as hell, cheap booze available anywhere anytime, lots of hot girls wearing miniskirts all year, and rockabilly concerts on weekends.
It isn't. It most likely will compile several series.
Rockman Online, WHICH LOOKS AWESOME.
And then this, a Power Rangers MMO.
Damn.
Oh well, here's hOping they don't put Samurai in it, Samurai is just terrible.
Being able to pick one of 199 Rangers (seriously, there's that many in Japan so far) would be awesome, and fit well enough for class differences. It could get out of hand though. The way I'm thinking, you could have 35 different classes (one for each season), with character customizations for attacks, zords, color, etc.
I'm thinking too far into this, especially since it's a 2D sidescroller. There probably won't be much depth to it.
Did I mention that I love Power Rangers?
Last thing you wanna do in Korea is play games in a cybercafe; there's a lot of fun stuff to do, cheap food and everything is kinda close. If you know the moonrunes and know how to install them in your PC, buy them and bring them with you.
While I'm a hardcore fan of the first two (American) seasons and the first two (American) seasons only, I would definitely love to play an MMPRMMO!
In fact, I recently watched an episode on Netflix(If you're outside the U.S. it's the RPM series, Episode 11; "Doctor K") that had such an amazing premise for an origin story, for a reboot or ..anything else, that I'm really excited at the premise of this.
Damn you, Korea!

Watched the show when I was five or so years old (91) and the show was already old by than.
The ones depicted seem like new ones, though.
