Basicaly by closing last servers EA showed, that they has no interest in Warhammer online code anymore. Why would the keep it? Why they wouldnt sell if even for " symbolical" price to comunity?

They won't give out a fully developed mmo framework that anyone could use to develop a new mmo.
Bioware will have all the server code and probably put alot of it into swtor.

I think Sega bought the license to create WH fantasy video games for a predefined time (maybe 5 years like mythic/EA). Until the time runs out, i don't think it is possible to buy it again just for an MMO.
I also remember that GW stated somewhere, that they sell the license for creating WH fantasy video games only as a whole. So it's not the same license model like WH 40k, where you can buy it for a specific game or series.

Because they don't care and even if some people @EA would care, it's not their job and they probably risk getting fired for behaving themself like human beings ( ). As a multinational corporation, EA is only interested in raising the shareholder value.

Stay on topic please. Not again one of these endless license discussions.

True, sorry

If anybody has past experience with EMU's, SWGEmu in particular, you'll know the redevelopment process is a bitch and a half. Somebody should contact some devs/admins from other EMU's that have been around for years and get some pointers. Just my 2 cents.

Aww man, another co-op shooter that will go down quickly. I think this won't profite for ea. Rather another unnecessary investment

Jee, tons of GW craps comes to market. How the Great Ones fall to the bottom:(
Shadow of the horned rat , Dark Omen tht was a titles!!
All hope in Mordheim or Sega product...
