First Warhammer 40k MMO details seep through
Posted on Tuesday, 8 April 2008 by Ryuken, source: videogaming247
CVG has put up details of a PC Gamer UK preview on the first yet unnamed Warhammer 40.000 MMORPG, which is in development at Vigil Games, an in-house THQ studio.
It's definitely going to be an MMORPG and not an MMOFPS, MMORTS or something else MMO-ish, although the combat in the game doesn't sound like the cookie-butter affair you see in most MMO's. Cover, suppressive fire and flanking are all part of it apparently as is a larger scale of warfare than you're used to from these kind of games and the ability to create squads.

"All of the races important to Warhammer 40,000 lore (not to mention the fans) will be represented", creative director Joe Madureira has explained, adding that "We want each and every race to have weight in the game world... and feel distinct."
He adds there'll be "Tons of stuff hanging off your character, weapons, scrolls... we are going to have the coolest looking characters of any MMO, ever. Once we begin releasing images, feel free to call me on that."

Vigil Games general manager David Adams, meanwhile, cryptically offers that "The term 'Battleground' takes on an entirely different meaning" in the game - which is obviously a reference to WoW's Battlegrounds PvP stuff but who knows what Adams actually means?
"Players", PC Gamer says, "will get to explore cities, alien temples, Chaos shrines, deserted battlefields (er, woo?), mysterious ruins, ancient structures, and - here's the cool one - 'drifting hulks in space'. Space hulks, we call those".
Sounds promising but perhaps rather vague. That's understandable once you know that the Warhammer 40.000 MMO is far from complete. THQ's CEO Brian Farell states in this paidContent interview that even now it's still a few years out. Time enough to start fantasizing about it.

In the future we will measure time in BC, AD, and PR - "Post Release" of the 40K MMO...
