The question, though, is... isn't the Warhammer Fantasy world very,
very, similar to the World of Warcraft world?

I'd have been more interested in a Warhammer 40K based MMOG, although
they'd have to ditch the hopeless 40K rules.

innocent; it was just his bad luck that the guards found his screams hilarious.

Well I guess the cat's out of the bag now.

If too many lions show up will there be an option to flea? Scratch that.

I had high hopes for this one, but unfortunately while it is indeed
sci-fi, it's also PVP oriented and I have less than no interest in PVP.
The demo UI reminded me strongly of System Shock 2.

Have to wait and see how this one is going to turn out.
