why make a wc multiplayer game? because it draws more people. For ages people have preferred fighting each other to fighting AI. Also a privateer online world could be VERY entertaining. If you made a privateer online where you could sign up with guilds join clans, etc do almost anything in WC. people would buy it. I know a guy who play tests games, That is his only job, it's the onmly job he's ever had. He said that if you made an online game, with guilds, clans, Confed, Kilrathi every main WC group, etc you could make a fortune. The trick to doing it is an immmersive plotline. When it comes to choosing a universe for an online space flight sim. WC would be the obvious choice. You have a game with TONS of character. Areas already defined and known to a community group, it's a really easy game to get into and enjoy. Why make a WC online game? because you won't just make a wc story like the other WC games, you'll create a world. and if Origin won't do that, then they don't deserve their motto "We create worlds" WC can be SO much more than an interactive movie where you play one of the characters. It could become an interactive movie where ALL of the cast are involved in the writing of the storyline. Who could ask for more? instead of walking upto a character, like in wc3,4 and talking to them and having to speak sentences chosen for you by someone else, you could Make your own script, choose your own words. and MAKE your own story. IMHO that would make that game better than any WC game. how can you get more immersive than that?
