Warhammer 40k MMORPG? WHA?
Whoa. This is some pretty fascinating news that Vigil is releasing this MMORPG. Why?
During the 1990s, one of the biggest things that have come out of the D&D era was Warhammer 40k. It was the coolest strategy board game due to the fact that you painted these mini-plastic and metallic pieces. I myself, owned a couple and had played Warhammer 40k and some of the PC and console games that have spun out of this trademarked name. Now, it seems like it’s going to take the expansive board game virtual. Which is actually pretty sweet.
Somehow or another, I have a feeling that if there is a box sold for this, the preorder might be a limited edition figurine as the bonus. Maybe it’s just me, but that would definitely grab a lot of the 40k players. Would definitely be curious as far as if each person would join as a ranking unit, or if players would be able to command legions. Either way, if done right, this could be extremely successful. Can’t wait. Can’t wait. Maybe it’s about time to dust off the figurines.

I have been playing Warhammer 40k for two years now and I can’t get enough of it.

It’s definately got rich lore and a good fan base, but if its anything like world of warcraft im not going to play it. We need to see more in “quests” than, go kill 10 bears and collect 10 bear ears and return to Mick Jagger and he will give you a nice pistol that does 2 damage. Or take this vial of anti venom and go cure 15 diseased baby deer.
There better not be any shooting people through mountains when you cant even see them, or hitting the sprint button and dashing around your enemy while you wittle them away and deal damage when youre not even facing them. It needs to have cover you can utilize and stay true to the warhammer 40k legacy, not jump on the band wagon and be another WoW clone. I hope it has good pvp and that they enforce sprotsmanshiplike conduct. No corpse camping either please, respawn at your nearest barracks or the like.
