Ed Greenwood =/

I love me some David Eddings... up until the end of the Tamuli, his works from then on have been lackluster. A game with his style in it though, wouldn't be the best in the world. If people have an issue with "overpowered" characters, David Eddings is as close to a Marvel writer as most fantasy authors (sans Greenwood. I fucking hate Forgotten Realms =/) can hope to be. I mean seriously, Belgarath and Sparhawk? They worked with Gods to defeat other gods, and usually end up being superior anyway. He's a good author, but for a mmorpg? Can't see it going well.

Terry Brooks would be a better choice, though I would prefer a dark fantasy mmo with Moorcock at the helm. Anyone who has read any of the Eternal Champion novels knows the man doesn't deal with omnipotence without making it the most tragic shit possible. <3 Elric and the Von Beks.
