/disagree on Terry Brooks. Elfstones was decent. I think his stuff after got progressively more mediocre just like Salvatore and Eddings. Most authors seem to be like music groups - they put out solid material for a while, but eventually start fucking up. Most authors eventually have the literary equivalent of a "Black Album" where everything before that was genius, but everything including and after that is just mediocre at best, if not downright bad.
Very few authors (or bands) avoid this and continually put out material of utmost quality. But there are some.
Michael Moorcock is no exception either IMHO. The main Elric books are masterpieces, I wasn't into the later stand-alone Elric books he added at all though.

Hehe so they are basically promising a revolutionary MMOG that changes the online market place? BTW McFarlane on your art team doesnt mean good game art unless you have 3D artists that can actually execute his designs. You could have Leonardi DaVanci as your concept artist but still have shitty 3D modelers.
