I was thinking, why not a Stick Figure MMO? We have Super Hero MMO,
fantasy MMO's, Sci-Fi... LEGO MMO coming out..

So why not a stick figure MMO? Everything, the world, items, trees,
monsters, all drawn like stick figures - nothing but lines. No color,
nothing.

And since it would be so easy to program as far as resources (no need
for latest 3D uber computer), maybe you could draw your own character.
Why not? Or choose from a variety of predrawn characters. The
possibitilies are endless since it's such a farce and is based around
creativity and drawing to begin with.

The setting could be sci-fi, or fantasy, modern, or a hodge podge of
it all. And if there are magic spells, instead of fancy graphics for
the spells being cast, you get some simple drawn stick figure effects.
Squiggles, dashes, dots, etc.

And maybe to add a little humor to things, trees could be paper cut
outs. Or just draw a tree and make the inside white area opaque.

OK I'm bored..

I know the perfect IP to adapt for such an MMO -- Rich Burlew's "Order
of the Stick":
