Universal Partnerships & Licensing has announced the development of a free-to-play MMO based on The Mummy film franchise. Inspired by the globe-trotting antics of the film series, featuring Brendan Frasier as a man in need of a paycheck, The Mummy Online will be a browser-based action RPG where players take the role of adventurers and... fight monsters. Probably take down a mummy at some point.

no good

Ack. Stop it.

why?

Everything is going free-to-play it seems.

sounds pointless

NO MORE

Everything is going free-to-play and as it does, the games are just getting shittier and shittier.

Weird.

Wut is this I dnt even? Seriously what's going on with all the MMO's?! 
 
And hey, those bandages may be damn good bandages. If wolves can drop me boots and swords I'll have faith in mummy loot yet!

Wow, this is super weird. Why The Mummy?

I dare you to write a fifth.

Goooooooooooood grief.

Another free-to-play MMO huh

I will totally think about playing this, and then not play it.

Apparently developers have stopped trying to make WoW clones and now attempt to get in on the freemium craze.

free to play usually means hub world.

Yep.  I may download it, play it an hour and go "meh, whatever" and go back to whatever I was doing. "

btw that guy is shooting in the wrong direction 

Yeah The mummy movies weren't really that good anyways. This will flop no doubt.

Do any of us here come to this site to read about a movie-property browser-based RPG? No, we come for the good articles and videos from the 4 guys in the basement. We don't need all these filler 'news stories' about anything and everything. Please stop it!
 
And it's no good saying "well don't click it". Well, I wouldn't, but I can't tell from the front page if this is going to be a cool new feature, competition, video from the guys or if it's another news story about something I'm completely uninterested in! That sucks!
 
I don't wish to sound rude to the new guys but come on, I don't think alot of people come to this site for this kind of thing so why make half your articles like this.

The only way this will be remotely interesting to me is if you get to play as a mummy.

I need to sell my idea - free to play Ironman MMO.

" I can't see how someone would get so upset about something positive like this, it's very petty"

I am all for more of this news if it continues to result in posts as funny as this one.

It's Brendan FRASER, not Fraiser. He's the greatest actor of our generation. Get it right.

Quick, think up pithy witticisms in 30 seconds!
 
This 'Mummy' needs to be put back in its crypt 
This just in: fighting a mummy online exactly as hard as it is in real life (imagine all caps) 
"Mum's" the word on whether this MMO will be any good 
Momma, Don't Raise Your Sons to be Pharaohs

I see no reason to make sarcastic comments about free video games, and so I shall merely say Bravo! The Forces of Free Shit are victorious once again!

2010: The year of the free-to-play MMOs.

YES!

Even being a fan of the Mummy films, even I don't get the need for a Mummy MMO, or how it would even work.

ENDURANCE RUN

Why The Mummy? I feel like this is going to be a bad game.

Hahah (definitely nothing to say about this...)

Lol

All I can say to this news is WWWWWWHHHHYYYY?????????????????

Will The Rock and Jet Li be bosses in this one? If so sign me up!

Usually movie based games actually come from movies that aren't terrible. If the movie is shit maybe that means the game will be good?
