Interesting question - I've seen (but haven't played) some First Person assault rifle shoot 'em ups where you and you team play against others - along the way you find and open caches which may contain coins weapons or ammo. The "coins" were your reward and could only be used to either upgrade weapons, armour etc (you can even on sell the weapons found on an in-house auction site for "coins" - I'd heard these coins we actually on an in-house block chain, so there's no reason any MERP / NetHack / Rogue multiplayer game site couldn't be adapted to accept crypto.
As with the above, you might find it's easier to buy in to an in house crypto for game play so that you can leave game coins there and not have to keep topping up or cashing out all the time.

There were quite a few games that tried this formula though in the recent shape of the scene today, I don't think MMORPG with real-money and bet elements would simply go undetected by the government. It has to procure several licenses since what you have in mind can be a vehicle for money laundering and fraud which the government hate so much. Also, this would be a pretty obvious pay-to-win game due to the structure and involvement of real-world money on the events and other thing inside the game.
It's a cool idea since I myself am still a hardcore MMORPG player, though I don't think it will pan out that well nor will be appealing to people. Not everyone is into MMO as well, so that's another area to think about.

I was also an avid MMORPG gamer back in the day. Specifically Runescape and Warcraft, but I have grown out of it now. Or maybe life beat it out of me, who knows.
I would definitely love to see a game that genuinely incorporates cryptocurrencies as the in-game currency and allows people to trade between one another, either for in-game items or real ones. However, I doubt any major game studio wants to open that can of worms, due to the crazy amounts of money laundering that could occur.
That said, would be nice to play some games of gwent in the Witcher with a few friends, while playing for real money (Bitcoin) of course
One of the main problems on where the game developer/owner would really experience when in talks of possible money laundering via means on gaming medium yet most likely this would really be possible.I would definitely love to see a game that genuinely incorporates cryptocurrencies as the in-game currency and allows people to trade between one another, either for in-game items or real ones.

Im also MMORPG gamer when im still in highschool and early college and upto now i do seldom play Dota2 as part of my past time.It would really be great to see if there are mmorpg that will really
put crypto as part of their main currency that can really be fully used inside the game.I have seen something back when i do hang on Project development thread but i totally forgot on whats the name of it,
i dont know if they succeeded their launching since it was already on their beta wayback.
I've also been a game addict before which I mostly played MMORPG and MOBA games. My teen days where almost all about games, I spend time most of the time on playing games which don't really pay off because I didn't achieve anything but experience.
Actually, because of the game Dota, I learned how to bet, I use the dota2lounge before which is one of the most reliable betting sites on the Dota 2 platform, Being addicted to betting take a part of me being a gambling addict. I think there's a use of bitcoin on dota2 because some players are trading their item into equal bitcoin value, My friend is a middle man on Dota 2 transaction and he said that he got his experience with cryptocurrency because of the transaction he process.

If bitcoin will be used in an online game as a wager then I think I would be the first bettor because I already imagine that years ago for these online games are really entertaining and a lot of people are getting obsessed on these games if betting with bitcoin will be allowed then it is an additional thrill.
In fact, there are tournaments being held for these online games and to think of it there is still a prize that is at stakes and to some before they can even join they need to pay an ample amount as registration fee so that being said it is also like gambling among the players. Bitcoin betting on the players is not a bad idea if gamblers can bet to their favorite player or team in a sport then it can also be applied in an online game.

As a gamer for several years, I'm not expecting to see an MMORPG that involves Bitcoin.
A bit aggre.And most of the gamers were really want only playing the games because its fun and excited, went you compare it with some playing game who only focuses on the bet and their service. The games always kinda crappy without a good graphic makes me so boring went playing the games. Instance, playing MMORPG with a craphy and ugly interface better to do a tournament from favorite MMORPG by using bitcoin as the fee tournament.
From this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mobile-legends-gambling-part-ii-5245158 we can learn to do some tournament from every game. But you need to make some pools and research first on the forum, did everyone playing the game or not.

Simple, why should it be? Game developers will not profit for adding Bitcoin as a game currency. The purpose is to buy in-game currency that can be used to buy in-game items and equipment. That's where the game's revenue will come.
What we should hope is that more MMORPG should add Bitcoin to its payment method. Looking at how it progress these days, there are lots of ways now to top-up game credits via Bitcoin.

I, too, am a fan of MMORPGs, and have not played in them for quite some time. Unfortunately, most of these games have their own internal currency, like chips in a casino.
In my opinion, the easiest solution would be to introduce the ability to buy in-game currency using cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin.
However, in this case, we are faced with possible fraud in money laundering by criminals.

^ I find it really interesting, playing an online game with bitcoin betting then I can no longer consider it as an online game instead it is already online gambling because for me any games that bring entertainment to the player and of something that has value will be at stakes like money or bitcoin then it is gambling. The idea of using bitcoin in purchasing something in an online game is not bad at all for it it can expand the range of usage of bitcoin and more people will realize and embrace it that will sort out for global adoption. Nevertheless, I am not fond of playing online games but if bitcoin will be used to bet in such games might as well I should ask someone now to teach me how to play those games.
I was once also an MMORPG gamer but lost passion due to the new genre of games that came out and having a busy life. I think that idea you have brought is only possible if one or a group of passionate developers with a decent budget to make this kind of economy in-game.
I'm also looking for that kind of game and after looking at the graphics of Dragon's Tale, I now understand why you're disappointed with them and I've read that they have stopped. But at least, there's already a game that started it. A community that will agree to support something like this is possible if there's unity.
I have seen before game projects that relate to blockchain and have their in-game currency in the token type but didn't succeed. The interest might not be great as of now but, we don't know within the next few years.

Most of the types of game I played, MMORPG is the best for me, which I already played the most of my time.
For me, it's kinda difficult to combine gambling with the use of Bitcoin inside the game especially if it's MMORPG.
Because as you are the game developer or owner, you will consider some gamers that will play your game. Not all of them want to gamble, they just want to play the game.
That's why there is some sportsbook there that acts as a third party for people who want to gamble by playing games, just like eSports nowadays which is already popular. But here, you are relying on someone skills, not yours, I think it is the only big difference there.

Its a pretty old game but they're long time had stopped and here's their main thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dragons-tale-a-massively-multiplayer-online-rpgcasino-1392I have saw some projects/basing up on mmorpg making game but didnt able to succeed.Even other blockchain based games in ETH platform
doesnt really get that much of attention thats why they do failed up mid-way.Im also a player of 9dragon/cabal online wayback- it would be nice
if there would be someone who do consider on making up some integration with crypto to a mmo game.
Have you ever thought about playing a mmorpg with cryptocurrency/Bitcoin involved?
I was a hardcore mmorpg during my teenage years, and played several role playing games. Lately, I was thinking about how would an online game (not a blockchain based game built on Eth or other pure cryptocurrency based MMO's) would be different from the usual trades of in game currency to adding digital money like Bitcoin.
I found one interesting mmorpg posted on steemit called Dragons Tale which literally has everything when we're talking about Bitcoin engagement inside the game. But, one thing I dislike about choosing a game is the graphic and movement, skills animations. I always prefer, mixed martial art and sword slashing games like 9Dragons, SilkRoad Online, Cabal Online, and etc.
I'm imagining about placing real Bitcoin bets in an individual/group duel, or even Siege wars or guild wars.
Selling/Buying rare items in a market place where you can opt to purchase or sell the item in Bitcoin, with this initiative, players will have the opportunity to actually buy the item in a cheaper price in number when Bitcoin pumps, or sell in a higher number when Bitcoin dips.
Share your thoughts, specially If you're a mmorpg gamer.
P.s I was once a gamer, but since I started working, I stopped playing and It's been almost 6 years already. Though, I always loved to play again, I just dont have enough playing time because of the priorities at work and family.
