    A busy week. Also announced was that a Korean company is buying EVE Online and some fools whose name I forget are buying a piece of Daybreak. Not to mention the Chinese company getting rights to make a new Lord of the Rings MMO (my guess a hastily developed piece of junk mostly for consoles or mobile platforms to take advantage of the planned Amazon show).

    Eve Online? Oh my...cash shops etc on the way then I imagine.   And will the Asian company hold true to the story and lore,  of Lord of the Rings, or are we going to see characters in mini skirts and knee high socks..lol  I beta tested LOTRO around the same time I was beta testing Vanguard..2007.
