Poster: Could EA drop Warhammer Online and change the name to Ultima Online 2(redefine a few things and add a virtue system ect.)

Reason I ask is like a month ago they said they didnt want to put out the big bucks on on liecensed products,Then like 1-2 weeks later they did.I realise Mytic did but wont EA have to continue it?

So if they drop warhammer and convert it now they dont have to compete with warhammer and also have total rights to the game as UO?

CatHat: Ack. EA's not about to do anything cheezy and wrong to Warhammer and Ultima like that.

Warhammer MMOG is pretty sweet and its easy to see why EA would want to aquire/fund them after their sneek peek at E3.

However, the game's are in 2 different kinds of worlds with VERY distinct characters, monstess and rules. Changing Warhammer's name to UO would be like taking Star Wars and slapping a Star Trek title on it and expecting nobody to notice. Wouldn't work.
