In MMOs, World of Warcraft is the grand pooba. The game is so huge that game maker THQ is staying far, far away from MMORPG for the time being. According to THQ honcho Brian Farrell:

We're looking at it very closely, but I want to find the right opportunity. I think what you will not see THQ do is come out with another fantasy-type game.

The other thing we're thinking is these things tend to have a window.

Right now that product is World of Warcraft, so the idea would be to time something for when that product is going to be on its downward slope. To come out with something competitive now I think would be misguided for anyone, including THQ.

Hear that? Don't even try to beat Blizzard. They will kill you. Hooray for utter lack of competition! Brian Ashcraft
