My two predictions for this game. Microtransactions and Consoles.

I guess my prediction is "Space Hulk".
I say that because I don't believe that anyone has the imagination to make a mmog that is not 'one player : one character' based.
I fear garthik is right about Consoles though.

Warhammer 40k, where you can play Force Commander instead of Warrior, Tactical Marine instead of Hunter, Howling Banshee instead of rogue, Apothacary instead of Priest.
Also, I can't wait to kill 10 rats as a Space Marine. Awesome.

W40k's richness, such as it is, is the number of different races each with their own unique touches. If the MMO is just Humans vs Orcs IN SPAAAAAACE then meh. I want me some Tau. Or Necrons.
Plotting on the hypothetical Magical Perfect MMO Machine, 40k could be PvP oriented where scenarios make more sense (getting dropped into battle hot zones) and some randomisation of PvP map layouts could make things interesting. However, the big problem with this lore - even more than Warhammer - is that the various races don't work together at all. Even the various shades of humans don't generally like getting together, let alone "hai guyz, Terminatorz squad neds Eldar and Tau Fire Warriors to raid Necron Pyramid with Chaos Marine boss".

What Mythic did to the Warhammer IP could be the subject of a Lifetime movie special. But W40k is even LESS friendly to dividing up the races into 'sides'. |

Going to predict player population imbalance in favour of space marines at this point and suggest that a 20% exp bonus to the opposing side isn't really going to cut it as a solution.

I honestly don't get why people like the Tau or Necrons. To me nether fit with the feel of the universe. I guess they feel tacked on. I guess im kind of a 40k purest. I like Human, Ork, Chaos, Eldar, Tyranid, as the major races. I guess the Necrons kind of fill the same spot as the Undead in WHF, but I still dont get a good feeling from them. |

Tau are space-Stalinists that use pheromonal control, brainwashing, forced sterilisation or outright genocide "for the Greater Good" and they're the closest thing to 'nice guys' in 40K. |

I am indifferent about the Tau. They're the young, upcoming rapscallions  The necrons are robot space zombies. They fit in very nicely. |

No lie.

It's all about the necrons. They are my favorite race. Tyranid are a close second. Probably, it's because they are both internally stable, infinitely scalable and probably the only two who actually have a shot at ultimate victory.

My impression from reading the manual/lore is that the Tyranid's pretty much are going to win eventually, as the shear amount of force they actually have coming towards our galaxy is impossible to stop. What we've seen so far is only the very tips of the various arms coming in, as they pretty much have an entire galaxy worth of bio material they've converted and are fully directing at ours. They write it like its pretty much a foregone conclusion. Don't really see the Necrons as standing out particularly for taking the galaxy in anything I've read. Tau actually have the lore that shows them as being the most likely successor to the Empire. If the Tyranid's weren't going to inevitably eat the galaxy that is. |

They could always kill the nids off by simply killing the hivemind. Nids can't win. Also, Necrons > Nids.
In the end the orks will create a waaagh that will tear the galaxy asunder, and then they'll proceed to kill themselves.

Given when this was announced and what has been shown and how many "projects" Vigil has and our first encounter with them and the state of THQ, I'm betting on MMO Vaporware. I could apply for a job and find out though. They're like 10 minutes from me.
