Kyrith, does that mean you get 80 hour work weeks and get fired after Warhammer releases? (I hope you stumble by and read this eventually)
Does this mean we'll get a major hyped Warhammer 2007, 2008, 2009, every year getting sadly more realistic but is still just another boring football... I mean, MMORPG?
