Hmm... I went through the press-release, and I wonder what will this project look like. I sure applaud their idea. In theory, successful game series should go online sooner or later, but I hope they did their fair bit of marketing before launching this project. They need to compete with some truly awesome MMORPGs and they must really put their heads into it, create good graphics, make it easily accessible for people with moderately good computers, create tons of content, create tons of monsters, a great big world in which the players could thrive in, and of course, a good story-line based on good NPC characters.
I never played WoW online, but it is a good example. Everyone would want to meet Arthas, Thrall, Jaina Proudmoore, Kel'Thuzad and the multitude of unique characters that popped up in the Warcraft series. I'm sad to say that King's Bounty doesn't have as much chars that capture the attention - the few most notable are Amelie, King Mark, Bill Gilbert, and my personal favorite, Lew Klisan.
I'm also way past my MMORPG time. I had enough of Lineage 2 as an MMORPG game - and once you played one, the rest are pretty much the same.
