@Dwagginz; I had forgotten about all those big MMO that come next or in 2 years. Still Katauri or 1C could never try to compete against them. It's more of a diablo clone (doesn't sound pretty) than your typical MMO (which curiously, are very much diablo clones; kill, collect, do, loot, repeat, etc..).
The only way for them to success is to do a very fast paced game and very light in terms of requirements and infrastructure so they can overcome the high cost of the game with a good amount of players.
By the way, has anybody looked at the recommended requirements for the game (

That's quite the PC there and while 2012 is far away and there is no date of at the beginning or end of that year, and that the requirements are gonna be more satisfied by more people at that moment, it's still a lot of power (doing a graphics intense MMO has never worked before)
