As much as it's cool to hate EA, I wonder if Mythic could have done this without EA's money behind them, or if we'd have gotten a rushed release.

I didn't know EA were publishing this until now :/

One of the things that made WoW so succesful is the fact that a super computer wasn't needed to run it, even my PC could run it. I will probably have and need a new PC by the time this comes out, however.

Not to be confused with THE Polish. We don't need any o' them in our games...>_>

I still think they should have made it 40k we don't need ANOTHER fantasy based MMORPG

oh and it should have been 40k that plays like Planet side, now THAT I'd pay for :P

heh, a gorka morka mmo. Auto Assault done right?

Personally I thought this was a remarkably frank interview. Lets hope it will turn out to be an undeniable WoW beater.

I would love a Necromunda MMO. Guilds = gangs, or you could just play as a gun for hire or even an upper-class spyre hunter (cool PvP oppertunities). After exploring the slums all day, kick back in a slum bar, get info and quests or hire other players to join your gang (or look for a gang to join) :)

It could even have territory to fight over! :D

There is allegedly a 40K MMO in the works, was announced earlier this year, may turn out to be vapourware, if not will still take several years before it comes to fruition.

So to summarise - The Beta wasn't good enough ( and everyone I know on it agrees ) and we hope 3 months can fix that.

Call me Mr Cynical but 3 months isn't enough, if EA was serious it would go back a year.

In all honesty, the biggest problem every other MMO has is the expectations placed upon it after the success of WoW. "Is this a game that can attract 9 million subs ?" or "Is this is a project that can attract 9 million subs ?" are very different questions.

I hope this has a niche, because just copying WoW won't work, and there are people out there looking for a different, fantasy-mmo which doesn't follow the WoW-model. Hopefully they've worked hard to do the Warhammer world justice (Relic did a good job with the 40k but that was an entirely different genre)

oh man, a NECROMUNDA mmo. that would be fucking amazing! Shame they don't even sell that in the shops anymore, you can only buy it online etc. Surely their best game?

Its a good point about polish, i think one of the main reasons for WoW's success is the simplicity of the UI, any other MMO I've played since always takes a while to get used to, WoW just clicked (especially after one or two early tweaks they made).
