The idea of a thirdAvatarmovie featuring fire Na’vi could be an exciting development for fans of theAvatarfranchise, and it comes from none other than James Cameron himself. The discovery alone of a fire-based Na’vi tribe would be a surefire way to escalate and execute the third movie’s plot, for example. Additionally, one way to fully capitalize on the potential of this concept would be to create an MMORPG with factions based on that potential third movie similarly to howThe Elder Scrolls Onlineoperates.
In this hypotheticalAvatarMMO, players could create their own custom avatar and join one of the various tribes or factions within the world of Pandora.Avatar’s Ash People, or simply fire Na’vi, could be a formidable force within the game, with a powerful military and connection to the element of fire and war. Players could choose to align with the fire Na’vi and help their tribe prosper while engaging in PvP against other tribes. Alternatively, players could join a different tribe with its own unique set of goals, objectives, and features.

The Elder Scrolls Online’s PvP Approach to Factions
The Elder Scrolls Onlineis a good model for how this type of MMORPG with factions could work. In that game, players can choose to join one of three factions: the Aldmeri Dominion, the Daggerfall Covenant, or the Ebonheart Pact. There are severalElder Scrolls OnlinePvP buildsthat players use against opposing factions. Each of these factions has a selection of races, classes, and quests, as well as its own territory within the game world. Players can choose to align with a specific faction and work together with other members of that faction to complete quests, engage in PvP combat, and explore the vast game world.
InThe Elder Scrolls Online, factions are a significant focus of the MMO’s PvP modes. The 4v4v4 Battlegrounds mode is the smallest of the PvP modes that allow players to fight while representing their faction. Meanwhile,Elder Scrolls Onlineplayers can become Emperorin the Alliance War, which allows players who have reached level 10 to band together in large groups and roam a large map capturing forts and resource nodes while battling other factions. Additionally, the last PvP mode, dueling, is the only mode that lets players of the same faction battle one another.
An Avatar MMO Could Elevate Faction-Based Gameplay
In addition to aligning with a particular tribe in theAvatarMMO, players could benefit from playing solo as a “lone wolf” character without an alignment to any one tribe. This would allow them to explore the game world and complete quests independently without being tied to any particular tribe. However, they would still be able to interact with players from other factions and join forces with them when needed as potentially hired mercenaries. WhileThe Elder Scrolls Onlinedoesn’t have faction-less players, a great deal of theElder Scrolls' Firesong updateand generally a lot of developmental effort have gone into allowing players of any faction to play through the game’s many quests together. It would be thoughtful of a potentialAvatarMMO to have a similar function.
Overall, the idea ofAvatar 3 exploring a dark side of the Na’viand introducing Ash People could be an excellent opportunity to create an MMORPG with factions. This type of game would allow players to fully immerse themselves in the world of Pandora and experience all of its excitement and massive potential for adventures. Whether players choose to align with a particular clan or tribe or strike out on their own as a lone wolf, there could be endless possibilities for exploration and discovery within the game world.
