Middle Earth Online, has just
been announced by Turbine, who produced Asheron's Call 1 and
2 with
Microsoft. It
looks to be just as pretty and cpu/graphics card intensive as
AC2. More
(flash-free) information can be found at
IGN and
Gamespy."
No MMORPG with Permanent Death will EVER sell enough copies to make it. Most people don't pay a subscription fee if they can "have it all taken away".
Besides, with Turbine's record in making stable clients, I wouldn't want to play a game where a complete BLACKSCREEN reboot of my machine would result in my losing months worth of progress. Happened to me many times in Asherons' Call. Only had to happen ONCE in Asheron's Call 2 for me to say "Never Again".
I've never had such a horrible and jarring software fault caused problem with any other game, never mind MMORPG.
