C.S. Friedman and the Coldfire Trilogy

I was reading through the post about R.A Salvatore and Todd McFarlane which mentioned that there might be a W.o.T. MMO made based on Jordan's books. 

As much as the latter sounds quite appealing (unless they go Cryptic the IP), I couldn't help but think how much Friedman's Coldfire Trilogy would lend itself to quite a fun/dark MMO.

Coldfire Trilogy - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coldfire_Trilogy

1) Black Sun Rising -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_Rising

2) When True Night Falls -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_True_Night_Falls

3) Crown of Shadows - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_of_Shadows

The world of Merentha and the very unique properties of the Fae (what humans imagine/fear/believe becomes reality) seems perfect for a very non-traditional, dark, gothic MMO setting.

Just thought I'd throw this up there to see if anyone shares the same opinion.

We need to start thinking of MMO's as we do music or literature or the movies. There is not one MMO or one game that will be universally satisfactory to everyone's taste. MMO's don't come in one genre just as books or music doesn't come in one genre. Change and innovation is a good thing in the MMO industry just as it is in literature and music, but every MMO doesn't need to push the envelope or be cutting edge to be "good" or fun. It just needs to be good. The same is true for music. The same is true for books or for movies. Music evolves. MMO's evolve. Storytelling evolves. And in doing so, it doesn't make obsolete or not enjoyable everything that's been done before.
