If they hold true to D&D, they'll draw away the portion of the WoW market that hates all the OMFGUBERROXXOR items and is irritated about caster itemization...which sucks donkey balls in WoW.
I play WoW now an it's ok, but like all on line games, tends to consume waaaay too much of my time.
I love D&D though; in fact I still have an original boxed set of basic D&D; the one that comes with a crayon to color your own dice! I will probably at least try D&D on line
Yes it probably will consume about 1/5 of my life.
I remember the first D&D campaign I ever played on a computer.
Dragon Lance Saga.
Champoins of Krynn, Dark Knights of Krynn, and The Dark Queen of Krynn.
I still have every D&D character I ever made.
I still have all my miniatures for every character I ever played in
D&D AND AD&D. I also painted them myself.
