I'm soo afraid that this will end-up as the many MMOs of the past years.
I don't really think the market is looking for a large-scale MMO right now, people are more in the looks for games that they can finish quickly - tops of 30 minutes.
Of course there will be a portion of people who want a MMO, but not quite large as people think I'm afraid.
