Will GW make MMORPG for 40k ??

Ive been a table top player of warhammer and warhammer 40k for about 5 years now and i would love to see an mmorpg for 40k someday too. It would be really cool to storm planets as a imperial Guardsmen just to see what my table top minitatures are going through, WOULDNT Anybody else ???

    Oh man, just think about it... Mythic takes up Warhammer: 40k... a MMOFPS, like Planetside, but not ruined by Sony

    I've been a big fan of 40k for about 5 years now as well...I never learned how to play the damn game, but I've always enjoyed modeling and painting for fun image

    someday I'll buy a rule book instead of just models to paint.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    Yeah you guys would love the table top especially if your in need of a hobby. I love modeling and painting all the miniatures.  I originally got involved in 40k becuase i  love modeling and painting, but then i saw some ppl down at the store playing at the open gaming night. I was hooked ever since. I just think I would love to play a role as a lonely imperial guardsmen holding the line against a horde of slugga boyz charging over the hill. If you guys have seen the opening movie to dawn of war, then you know what im talking about. I hope someone up above see's these post and goes....hey thats not a bad idea at all.  YES im crazy about 40k and warhammer, I love what GW has done for the games and doing a mmorpg for 40k would definitly bring more people to the table top arenas

    green stuff?

    I like Tau and Space Marines...I HAD the beginning Tau army set, the origional one before they appearently changed the rules, my set had two squads of kroot, two squads of Fire caste, three crisis suits, and some gun drones, the new set only has one crisis suit, but comes with stealth dudes)

    I got rid of them all when I moved to Indiana though, while I was in Indiana I bought myself a squad of space Marines and a Predator tank, those are all that I have right now though...and I screwed up the predator during assembly so that it looks like the turret is in a fixed position and couldn't move even if the thing were real...I don't want to rip off any pieces so I just kept it like it was...the paint job on it is good, but the turret bothers me.

     Blood for the Blood God Skulls for the skull Throne and..so forth...

      Yeah defenitly War40k would make an uber mmofps.

    Screw the Emperor. It's all about Chaos, Tzeench (sp?), Nurglings (my children).

    And the best of all, the Tyranids. Scary mothers.

    My brother has played WH40k(for like..6 years), Epic 40k(3 years i'd say), Warhammer Fantasy, Space Hulk (he gave that to me, great shit), etc. He had Space Marine army, Chaos Marine army (he gave me those..im the evil bastard to his good side), and a few squads of terminators for both. He'd paint those mothers in fine detail, and i swear to god everytime I played against him with my chaos marines i got my ass kicked by his terminators. Those ****ers hurt like a mofo.

    If WH40K was made into a mmofps/Dowish, my brother would have an orgasm, and i'd instantly be hooked and maybe i'd be happy in the pants a little too.

    Well so far the poll that I put up is in favor for us 40k players. I wish there was someway to get a huge list of thousands of names together to give to GW and Mythic to make our dreams come true. If anybody knows anything on the inside please let me know because i just cant get over the thrill i would have playing this in an MMORPG style game. Also for all you 40k players out there, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE NEW ELDAR UPDATES !!! I would like to know what you think because im currently stuck in IRAQ and have heard just a few things about it.

    Whilst the whole 40K universe might make a decent MMOFPS the fact that almost none of the race co-exist peacefully would mean that it woud be limited somewhat (think of planetside).

    What would be far more interesting to play would be an MMORPG version of Necromunda/ Inquisitor. Although your pretty much limited to humans only you still have an exhaustive catalogue of weapons, equipment and amour to make it insanely customisable, from simple flak jackets to spyrer armour, from ratskins to full on power armour. And even without races the multitude of gangs or Inquisitorial affiliations would make for a great political climate.

    Oh and for the record Ratskins FTW! image

    The thing that makes WH 40k so great, is the pure epicness of every battle. That feeling could never be captured in an MMORPG/MMOFPS, without making it incredible lame.
    If they decided to make one, i'd ofcourse try it - But really, it wouldn't be very WH 40kish at all.. Just a bit.. meh.
    Further on, WH 40k isn't balanced for "One on One" fights. So, either you would limit it to two fairly equal armies(Spacemarine vs. Chaos Spacemarines anyone?), or you'd have to breake the law. Who in their right mind would play a Guardsman, when they could play a huge Spacemarine that's 10 times the pwnage? Ork?! Why? Why play a Tau Firewarrior, when you could play a Battlesuit guy?
    WH 40k is balanced around "point cost". Translates well into RTS, not so well into MMOFPS/MMORPGs.

    Just as a side note, thanks for what you are doing over there in Iraq.  I wish you the best of luck for having a safe return home.imageimageimage

    I would play the game, I just don't have the time to get into a tabletop hobby.  When I have gone into WoWC stores I have enjoyed watching people play though.  Looks like fun, I wish they would have had that around when I was back in elementary school.  I only had D&D available to me back then.

    Oh, and world domination is easier if you have a taser attatched to the president's nutsack, why do you think he has such trouble speaking image

    I see exactly where your coming from about the one on one battles. It wouldnt do to well in that aspect of it. However, Since its a mmorpg ,1000 flashlighted guardsmen could do some damage lol. Of course you would have order vs chaos so you would have your spacemarine chapter fighting along side your imperial guardsmen company.It would make for really interesting guild fights and alliance fights i think. I definitly see where your coming from and i think it still could be possible i just think it would have to be a strong guild vs guild thing. it would be alot of hard work to do and it might just be wishful thinking, but i guy can dream cant he?

    Oh god think about about it. Have a summoning type aspect to it. You have a bar that you can fill up, and tehy way you fill it up is by summoning up some guys to help ya. maybe some guardmen if your in the empire. i feel the juices flowing, i might start programming this game... oh wait... massive licensing fees... damn white man keeping us indie devs down... image

    You make some good points about the way WH is balanced...nobody would want to be a kroot warrior if they could be a hammerhead driver right? 

    I think that doing what planetside does would help to aleviate this problem, you don't see nothing but guys in MAX suits all the time in that game, and if they go by ranked certs, I think they could help the problem a great deal...or at least make it so that not everybody was running around as an elite or heavy support troop type.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
