actually, it's going to be a new immersive MMORPG called World of Dominions. It will be carefully crafted to require you to spend a lot of time doing meaningless things such as travelling from place to place to ensure that you do not progress too quickly through the game, and thus complete and get bored with the content. This is because said content will consist solely of grinding on the same set of 50 or so monsters just with different colors that simply random walk with some set bounds.

However, due to the fact that our modern society has essentially socialized most people into a "daily grind", the banal and second-job like characteristics of this new game will prove to be a familiar setting for most, and it will become a sort of wildly popular social networking ecosystem, even attracting an over representative number (given that its a game on the internet, and everyone knows there's no girls on the internet) of female players.

The only real problem with your theory is that you've just described every single MMORPG. Ever. So ... you know ... there's nothing new there.

Now, how would JK & KO add that special "Dominions" flavor to an MMORPG? Blood slaves? Bog beasts? Random barbarian attacks? Bogus & Friends?

Ooh, there's an idea: a (non-MMO) CRPG where the player controls Bogus' adventuring party as they go about liberating blood slaves and overthrowing oppressive local rulers, etc.
