John Romero Developing a MMOG
bmarklein writes "According to computerandvideogames.com, John Romero is to developing an MMO. He doesn't divulge any details, but does say that it's 'the most money I've ever spent on a game' and that it's 'very different from any other MMO for some special reasons.' Will this live up to the hype, or is history repeating itself?"
John Romero is to developing an MMO.
What's a Massive Multiplayer Online? Is that a game where Romero goes around with magical powers, turning all the players into a female dog? Sounds about as much fun as his last big game...

Yeah the whole John Romero rockstar developer thing was lame. And the John Romero will make you his bitch ad was really lame. But that is enough kicking now let the guy up. He's just a dude we all do stupid things we should't have to hear about them forever.

Must've been a Daikatana fan. :)
I wonder what makes it different than most other MMOGs? Maybe he means he won't be using any of the advancements made in the genre in the last ten years? Or maybe it will make your progress dependent on suicidal AIs whose inevitable deaths costs you dearly won progress?
Or maybe he just means he'll sink incredible amounts of cash into a project that ends up being years late and when finally loosed upon the world is so beneath expectations that it vanishes quietly within months, only to be heard of in derisive jokes?
No, wait, that would be just like most MMOGs.

Is is cureable and is he getting treatment?
Did he get a second opinion from another doctor?
What is it any way? I sure hope it isn't some nasty stuff like the avian flu or cancer.
