MMOs are now cyclical. For the next 5 years or so everything that will come out will be RMT/hyperdemographicly targeted niche MMOs till someone comes out with an EQ clone in 2013 (what we all bitch about now) and everyone falls in love with it because it feels "old school". SOE just happens to have one of each (ie they know/knew the divide is/was coming).
