Let's say for a second that WoW is shutting down for some reason (Blizzard is making WC4 and they don't want 2 storylines going).
What MMO would you put the Red Blade on instead? And for what reason? Would the style of the Red Blade fit the Lore of that MMO? Would we still be Orcs?
Elder Scrolls Online (ESO):
They do have Orcs, but I am not sure if the types of Orcs in the Elder Scrolls universe would fit the Red Blade. First thing, they are not orcs, they are elves (mer), Orsmer.
Secondly, Orcs society is often based on Strongholds, all women in the stronghold is the Chieftains wife or his daughters. You battle to the death for the role of Chieftain. Orcs in ES are pretty much the "strongest survive" persona. And they already have their code from their god, their god is the god of the outcast, pariahs, cursed and damned.
EVE Online (EVE):
He he he, nope, did you really think that?
Star Wars The Old Republic (TOR):
Well, there are no orcs but there are Mandalorians. They seem like they would be able to work with Red Blade philosophy, travel around, find things to beat, beat said things, gather around and awe how strong we are.
Alternatively, we go republic and become some kind of Jedi-clan with plenty of Smugglers and republic Commandos.

For Mandalore!

Mandalorians are a playable race now? o:
Well, in ESO Redblade and the characters in it could fit Nord society.
Yes...not orcs, but in spirit and attitude, rather close. Or atleast could be adapted without differing much from the norm.
Another could be...with some stretch, GW2 norns. Since we are not overly organised, but mostly spiritual it could fit. But then...norns are very disorganised.

Not exactly, but you can make human or cyborg (which is just a human with a cybernetic eye) and play a bounty hunter, saying you are mandalorian.
Funny enough, I am currently playing SWTOR, and I think the Red Blades could make an awesome trooper squad. You might ask yourself why trooper?
Well, they fight for honor and for the greater good of the Republic. Jedi wont fit since they tend to always try to solve problems on a peaceful manner before coming to blows.

Yes... Yes.. I like the way your mind functions.
Norn in Guild wars 2 perhaps.. Norm are wild hunter barbarian nomad spirit types. Sidenote guild wars is now free to play no longer have to buy it to play it. just saying *wiggles brow*
Hmm might give Guild Wars a try then. During high school a colleague of mine was playing and I only heard good things about the game.
The leveling was fantastic and the best leveling experience ive ever had. The end-game, not so good.
The scaling in that game was good. Didn't make the world as trivial as in WoW
