Well if they can pull off and stay true to the books, this could be an awesome MMO.

However....

The characters in the books are rather unbalanced for an MMO.  Channeling the One Power is supposed to be a relatively rare gift but I'm sure a lot of players would want to be one.  Also, how do you handle the issue of male vs female channelers?  The books (til the end) stated that any male who channels goes mad. 

Not to mention, people would demand PvP but not sure how they would handle it.  Children of the Light attack all Aes Sedai on sight but not others?  Red Ajah only can attack male channelers?

Although I'm excited about this news I have one advice for Red Eagle: everyone channels, or no one channels...there's no way to balance it if you're staying true to the book save by allowing players to control huge armies to bash at the channeler or enabling one shot arrow shots...

And I'm of the opinion that the magic system of WoT just gives way too many options in regards to spells you can conceive to let it go to waste. I mean, you can have standard channels that one can learn, secret ones you can learn from certain channelers AND if you want you can experiment and find really wicked weaves...or die.

Anyway, the movie comment indeed makes me skeptical we should expect much out of this

Good grief, I would not play it even if they PAID me for! Jordan is the most over-hyped fantasy authors. Absoultely horrible. If we really have to plunder fantasy IPs, I'd rather see David Eddings Belgariath.

Well that's a bit harsh Elikal, he created a very detailed fantasy world.  No short 200-300 page books, they were all meaty reads.

I will say, however, that I feel he dragged the story on a bit too long.  The original WoT story could of been completed in  5-6 books.  Instead he seemed to keep it dragging along, almost like he didn't want to let it go or for it to end.  I lost interest at Crossroads of Twilight, just got tired of the No Ending endings. 

I am really looking forward to this game. Right now there is nothing else in production that interests me. Still, no updates on the game yet. Hope it will still be made.

Jesus, don't dig up 2 year old threads in the 'News' sections!

I got all exited and what a huge disappointment :(

Right another developer  no one has heard of before with zero experience writing MMO's is going to write a wheel of time MMO.

Excuse me while I ROFL.  The rush to get money of out an IP makes people do stupid things like letting a complete unknown sell them bill of goods.

Anyone anticipating this MMO from this developer needs to wake up from their fantasy world.  The chances of this ever coming to light of day are slim and none.

To be honest not everthing we read has to become a Mmo , i'd rather play something fresh and original nowadays .

Oooo I want the spell "Death Gates" Oooo they better make this MMO right! If they dont it will be the biggest epic fail of MMO IP history.
