While I agree that there are many areas of development for MMO games
to go, I wouldn't dismiss all mideval period games as me-too's,
since SWG is essentially the same as UO but in a different
setting. The period of the world and its inhabitants is just a
setting, it can still have new reputation systems, player-run
governance, or other untested concepts, while a technological world
could be nothing more than diablo in the 25th century.
