No. That game has ceased development and the developer has moved on to other projects. This will be a next-generation MMORPG that will serve as the standard bearer for both Mythic and Games Workshop.

Now, will it be able to survive the uphill battle against WoW? No comment.

I can’t wait to see how the 40k MMO progresses though.

Your a PC so basically you can be all that. Aside from that they don't ride horses (often) and buying a tank as a mount would be a good reason... or maybe Titans =] You would be a god among men though.

You can play an individual character in a MMO right? Bags not play as an individual IG guardsman with a pistol up against a Wraithlord... I can’t see how a 40k MMO will work.

Bags not play as an individual IG guardsman with a pistol up against a Wraithlord…

It's never a good portent for any game when the publisher changes mid-stream. And lets face it a Warhammer Fantasy MMO has an uphill battle to fight against the behemoth that is World of Warcraft. Whereas a Warhammer 40k MMO is an entirely different genre. In fact have we seen a decent science fiction MMO that isn't ship based yet? Yes well, I’ll believe it when I see it.
