If I could have any MMO revived, without a doubt, it would be Everquest Online Adventures (EQOA) from the PS2 era. That was really my first experience with an MMORPG. Everything about it from top, down was perfect. The social aspect of it was great, the friend and guild system was great, the mechanics overall were really good for it's time and the expansion pack they added was solid. 

It's a shame Sony didn't keep it going. I can understand though, because, at that time, Everquest was mostly the PC's crown jewel for that genre, but, Blizzard would come along and absolutely transcend the genre completely with World of Warcraft. I tried dabbling with that for awhile.

Once I got about half way into the Wrath of the Lich King, I was officially burned out. Being young and just starting a career with a desk job didn't help. Pretty much shot my desire to sit at a desk all day and game while working all day at a desk. Just couldn't stomach it from that point on. 

ESO is about as close as it gets for me to EQOA. However, if Blizzard ever decided to transition World of Warcraft over into a console format? I would be 1,000% down and invested into it from my couch on my big [BLEEP] TV screen in my living room. Would play it to death more than likely.
