Warhammer 40K MMO gets a release date - Massively

Basically WAR/WoW in space. I'm sure you have hopes of it being anything but that but I guarantee you that's what the game is going to end up being.

Also the general concept of people taking time off from a game during the summer to 'go spend time outside' is fucking laughable.

I doubt it will be done justice. The 40k world is so diverse and with so many potentially playable races and classes, I can't see how they could reproduce it with balance, quality and consistent lore in the current MMO mold. Plus it would undoubtedly be overwhelmingly PvP - the essence of the warhammer 40k game is a massive multilateral racial war. I would however, give it a fair chance - I always found the creativity and originality in WH 40k fascinating as a kid.

As for EQ2 - I wonder what it is that is going to bring the players back after summer this time. From the sounds of things there aren't many carrotts being dangled currently.

Well WAR 40k is awesome in a lol way. It might turn out alright.

Oh. And... Vacationers and stuff. It does happen.

Depends on how they manage it. Of course there will be some restrictions as MMOs allow, etc.

Panda butts. But yeah there needs to be more stuff I dunno. (Psst, more armor styles plz!)

I heard they will make all blue servers to red servers.

haha I've just imagined the sea of tears if that would happen.

And 40k I just hope they remain true to the style of the art/models we've seen in DoW1. Not this comic book bullshit that seems to be the new cool.

Er, I'm only getting to play this game BECAUSE it's summer...'

Everytime I see someone say, "Kids aren't playing because it's summer," my life gets derailed a little bit more...

Over here in "jolly old" Britain we don't have seasons.....it just rains all the time. Consequently we're doomed to play this game forever (aka The Flying Dutchman).

Seriously there must be someone we can write to to complain about the last 3 summers.
