You know that Robert Jordan deeply regretted that he gave Red Eagle the rights to his books but he died before he could change that.

So don't expect anything special from these guys, hopefully it will be half decent.

If I can play as an Ashaman and channel the hell out the Source, I'll pay for it.

Well...I'll be hopeful for if they do it "right", I'd definitely spend a lot of time in that sort of a world.

What's "right"?  That varies from person to person, but without bogging down in particulars the best way I can express that is with a analogy of how Steve Jackson did the LotR movies "right".  Turbine's game...... notsomuch.  Unfortunately, the history of failed attempts by Corps trying to bring something alive in a online game setting is usually one of failure instead of success, so pardon my reservations about this panning out past a Vanguard like debacle...if it makes it that far.

Money and Sin are a lot alike, the more you got the more you want and you can never have too much.

Wonderful world, but I think a terrible setting for an MMO.

Low magic fantasy setting with a very structured and strict storyline. Lord of the Rings was a difficult conversion and to be fair Turbine and Tolkien Estates totally ignored the lore with the release of the Rune Keeper (think WoW's Shaman only less fun).

So... not expecting anything from these guys. They also have a single player RPG lined up for PC and a few console games as well, going to be a "milk it all you can boys!" approach to game development.
