The Daily Grind: What two games would you combine?

Even though we all have our favorite games, that doesn't mean we don't have other games that we look at with longing. There's not enough time in one day to play Star Trek Online, Guild Wars, City of Heroes, Fallen Earth, and Vindictus on a regular basis, which means picking and choosing between the games that you like the best. But what would make life even easier is if you could mash some of those games together to give yourself the parts of game A and the parts of game B that you like in one marvelous stew.

It probably won't ever happen, naturally, but some part of you has to wonder what it would be like to take a pair of old or new favorites and produce a single game that's more than the sum of its parts. So what two games would you like to toss in a blender together? Would you like to mix Guild Wars with Fallen Earth, porting shooting mechanics and intricate crafting into a traditional class-based setting? Mix Final Fantasy XI with World of Warcraft, combining changing classes with talent specs? If you could mix two games together, which two would it be and how?
