[quote=column;1033688] You need an IP to even compete,and all the popular IP's are gone now and failed..,or will fail in the future (Aoc,War)[quote]

You really think a company that has the services of Todd McFarlane, and R. A. Salvatore at their disposal is going to struggle in creating an engaging intellectual property worthy of an MMO? Seriously, have you read some of the crap that goes into this genre of games?

Most IP’s that have been made to fit into an MMO setting usually upset the hardcore fan base more than they attract from it. At least with this MMO, they have the name of two creative talents to draw on, who have a solid fan base in their respective fields, and they no set expectations to ruin which usually happens with the bastardisation of an established IP.

Plus, that little green squig is awesome, how can they possibly fail after that?
