Depends on what though, Having a 40k and WFB MMOg out at the same time would split a lot of their userbase when they'd be better off just trying to see how well they go against, say, Vanguard or the SOE stable. Why cripple your own game like EQ2 did if it's a success?
40k should possibly go the action route. Something like a BF2 with persistant stats would be perfect, but even a well-done SP-FPS on the Doom3/HL2 engine would be a good entry. Be a Space Marine, hell they could revive the Space Hulk FPS assuming EA doesn't have any longterm hooks into it, and a lot of people seem to look back on SH fondly.
A 40k game would be great, but.... I'm not sure how you'd ever shoehorn it into the MMO mold. I mean..... the world is based around quick death and huge and expendable armies.
You're basically left with everyone being either a Space Marine or Chaos Space Marine.
Although it would be fun to be a Kommisar and shoot cowards in the head.
