Anyone plan on playing this?

Not sure...
As you see it gets delayed, then delayed again, then again. We heard about a such project delayed to the point where it got cancelled, and it was related to Warhammer, MMORPG development, etc.

And that story might get repeated

I just pre-ordered AoC. Looking forward to that. Who knows, maybe I'll have played and stopped by the time Warhammer comes out, if, as you say, it ever does.

The problem is with any MMORPG adaptation is simple: An MMORPG and a traditional tabletop RPG and a tabletop startegy game needs very different values, while it is easy to build a Warhammer RTS, or a Warhammer CRPG, the moment you turn to MMORPG market you see new difficulties.

You can see from Lord of the Rings Online, and D&D Online that adaptations tend to have major flaws, and it can happen with Warhammer Online too
