Effectivly the only company right now who could do that is Relic since they have the game rights to the 40k license. I my self think it could work very well if done properly.
im glad they made a warhammer fantasy instead of 40k, theres lots of 40k games going around atm. not any mmorpgs though
would be nice but i think waht the guy above me said means relic has to do it.
?played: Nearly everything.
?waiting: *Darkfall*, Hero''s Journey
Check out the posts in the Warhammer Online forums, we've been discussing this a lot.
The main thing about it is, like Solanar said, 40k games are in the plentiful right now (Firewarrior, Dawn of War + Expansion). Comparatively, a fantasy game hasn't been made for many years, and most game retailers don't even carry those that were made anymore.
There are also complications when creating a 40k MMORPG. Its natural way of playing should make it an MMOFPS, but since close combat is a key role for some races (Orks, Tyranids, etc.) this would limit the playable races to a few. Also, fantasy fits the MMORPG "Archetype" and should make a good game.
Don't get me wrong though, if they made a 40k MMORPG I would buy it in an instant, but I wouldn't expect to see one on shelves for at least 4 years.

omg.... i remember hearing about this game at an OLD Games Day .... i think it was back in 1998 XD
The problem with the Fantasy Warhammer is that it is nothing really new.They stated it will be very RvR heavy(not pvp) and with realms.Honetsly i will play it but it is still the same MMO generation as DAOC is at the moment.
