Relic most recently released Company of Heroes and the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War expansion pack Dark Crusade.

A well-done MMORTS might be interesting but for the most part this genre needs to die. It's a blight on our fine hobby. MMORPGs - the NON game for gamers. Bleah.

Considering it is Relic developing one, i doubt it will be a fantasy-based RPG. Which is good.

On the one hand, I'd say, "MMORPG, please." On the other, "Not another MMORPG!" It's a market that is easily saturated as there are only so many people willing to play them and only so much time those people can divide amongst games.
