How is my answer curt? May be when I get carried away in summing up all those different reasons why they would use the BT, but it wasn't meant personal in any way...

It just seemed that way, no worries, I know it wasn't personal. Probably just how I read it

Sum Orky screenies for da boyz!
From a danish article on Gamereactor.dk, translated by me:
Original article: http://www.gamereactor.dk/nyheder/81563/WH...ed+mere+action/
All I can say about that is OH GOD YES! Good to see that the "WoW-clone" behavior amongst MMO-developers is starting to disolve. Let's just hope Vigil stick to the action-oriented new style.
From a danish article on Gamereactor.dk, translated by me:
Quote
The upcoming Warhammer 40000: Dark Millenium Online is going to be more action-oriented than other MMO-games, the developers promise. According to Vigil Games’ founder Dave Adams many MMO’s reuse the same mechanics over and over, and doesn’t focus enough on the combat.
“Action just hasn’t been a priority for many developers”, he says. “There’s used far more work on it in consolegames. If you sit down and play an MMO, and compare it to a Triple-A consolegame, then much of the gameplay of the MMO-game just wouldn’t compare.”
Many developers jump over where the fence is lowest when it comes to combat, Adams believe, because there simply is so much to be done in an MMO. But Dark Millenium Online won’t be like that.
“That disparity won’t be toleratet much longer. In some time, someone will do it differently, and then all others must follow up. We wish that that someone will be us, and thus we’ve pushed the game towards a more action-oriented formula”.

I hope it will retain some of the RPG MMO elements. Like questing, crafting, the huge open world and raiding and such, but get rid of the worse elements, like the endless grinding and the tired combat system.

Well i doubt they will try to change the format drastically, to me it seems like they are just giving people a combat system which doesn't look and play like crap. Grinding will be there, it wouldn't be a RPG without grinding

Ah, looking around today, I found this article about the game, very interesting read. It's an expanded version of the danish one I translated, in english.
Wether good or bad news, the guy mentions several times how ultra-defensive GW is of the verse. This have 2 consequences, one is that we won't have to deal with the majestic and nuanced lore being raped to death, the other is that the devs won't have alot of freedom with the stuff they do.

Example of a MMO-Quest as done by C.S. Goto:
"Hello there fellow brother space marine! I seem to have misplaced my MULTILASER, and this pleases me. I bet the Khornate Sorcerer took it, and this pleases him, he's probably also putting my eldar girlfriend through some hot naked torture"
Actually, that would be pretty hilarious
I'm very happy for the protectiveness they have about their lore, just look at what happened to the characters and lore in Warcraft! Illidan and Kael'Thas turned from complex ambigious characters into stereotypical evil overlords, Draenei turned from mutant barbarians into Spacegoats with crystal-tech.
On the other hand, their protective stance (GW's) also kills some nice projects. The famous (and hilarious) fancomic Turn Signal on a Land Raider wasn't allowed to sell any merchandise (so the author had to stop writing it).
And then there's the infamous Damnatus incident. A fanmade movie wasn't allowed release (no, not even free-to-watch online, although someone leaked it), since some loophole in the german law (where the movie was made) would hand over the ENTIRE COMPANY to the film-makers (although the filmakers, being nice guys, wouldn't use it). GW pissed of the fans, the film-makers had a film they weren't allowed to show anyone, and the fans never got their film :(

GS: How is the massively multiplayer project Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online shaping up?
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online's release plans remain in the dark.
BF: We've not picked a firm launch date yet. As you know, those are the most complex games and gaming systems on the planet. And we know what the competition is. So we know we need to do it absolutely right. So it's still a couple of years out. But, I mean, even the early version--in fact, I've got a review of that product at 3:00 and then I'm actually going to be down at that office and studio on Friday looking at the progress there. We're really excited about the game but when we know we have--well, first of all, a firm beta date, obviously we'll announce that. But it's still a couple of years out because we want this to be a real defining experience for the MMO player.

Good to hear they don't want to be another run-of-the-mill MMO, but actually produce some quality.

Almost an entire year and they finally release something new.
Supposedly, more will follow tonight (European time). Otherwise I will be very disappointed, since this trailer shows almost nothing.

Some of this sounds very interesting. If this is true, then that IG looking guy in the screenshots is an assassin.
Also, Ork 'Ard Boyz, Mekboyz and Runt 'Erders.

It's not confirmed either way, but naturally THQ are denying all claims they are in financial trouble, which is almost as good as them admitting that they are.
All I can say is, I would expect that GW want this game made. They made a quarter of their operating profit from digital game royalities for 2011, principally Retribution and Space Marine. I imagine they are keen to continue this trend with DMO being a very decent source of revenue. If THQ go, there may well be another a deal for it to continue as, afaik, Vigil aren't in trouble.

Considering the amount of money THQ (and GW) make from W40k games, even if THQ does happen to need to abandon some projects, the 40k stuff will definitely not be first on the chopping block.
