Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in... WH40K mmo in development!

It's official, a Warhammer 40K mmorpg is in the works. THQ is the publisher and Vigil is the developer...

I was really looking forward to the realm vs. realm and pvp aspect of the upcoming WH: Age of Reckoning mmorpg due out this year but now I'm positively drooling in anticipation of a WH40K based game. Space Marines, Chaos, Orks, Tau & Eldar. :yes: No happyassed good and evil. No alliances. No magic sword of whatzitz. Pure sci-fi carnage.. wheee! :2thumbsup:

If Vigil/THQ can concentrate on developing the action and strategy aspect of this mmo (i.e. pvp & faction vs faction combat) and minimize the loot oriented, pve gameplay that makes most mmo's incredibly dull then it should be a smash hit.

:bow: Must resist on buying so many games...

Well, MMOs are not my cup of tea but this could be good for people who like this kind of thing. The publisher THQs Dawn of War did an amazing job of catching the atmosphere and detail of Warhammer 40K. It was hard to fault for that, which is saying something as the tabletop game and backstory are quite complex. I know it was a different developer (Relic) from the outfit that will be producing MMO, but still.
