Game of Thrones Seven Kingdoms MMO announced
Bigpoint teams up with HBO to take the popular Game of Thrones to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros as an MMO.
A Game of Thrones series has been a hit for HBO and it is trying to capture the enthusiasm for the TV show in the MMO space, announcing a project with Bigpoint entitled Game of Thrones: Seven Kingdoms. The game, which is being developed by Norwegian studio Artplant, focuses on the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
The setting for the game will be after the deaths of King Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark:
The Seven Kingdoms were originally independent countries which rose up over thousands of years until the Targaryens ruled over them as one nation of Westeros. The Starks of the north declare war on the south and Baratheon’s two brothers both make claims to the throne. Players are challenged to form alliances through Player vs. Player (PvP), Siege combat and politics to control Westeros.
Bigpoint plans to debut a trailer for the game at the San Diego Comic-Con, which begins July 12.

As best I can tell, despite being rare and expensive and impossible for modern artisans to make....everyone seems to fucking have it.

Nah, it was pretty rare. There was Ice, the heirloom great sword of house Stark. After the death of Ned, Ser Payne or whatever had it for a while before the Lannisters had it melted down and forged into two long swords since they had no valyrian steel weapons These were given to Jaime and Joffrey. Jaime ends up giving his to Brienne.
Then there was Longclaw, which was the heirloom sword of house Mormont, which Jorah passed on to John Snow. Aside from that, there was the dagger used in the assassination attempt on Bran. I think that's about it for Valyrian Steel weapons? Just a few weapons that got around.-
Eh, so I left out a few of the lesser houses. Here's a good rundown of their rarity. http://iceandfire.wikia.com/wiki/Valyrian_steel

No one can possibly think this won't fail, including the developers of it. Must be using it as a tax write off.

more like clueless investors who are still stuck 7 years in the past when mmos were pulling in fat stacks of money.

They need to give up with these MMO's unless they are F2P right out the gates.

Good on them on swindling some poor investor out of millions of dollars on what's bound to be a medicre mmo that will not sell and people will have no interest in in a few years. I am surpised the investor didn't see what happened to Capernicus and Elder Scrolls and high tail it out of the meeting, but hey, more power to Bigpoint.

They should have just made a total conversion of Mount and Blade.
To make it like an MMO, perhaps have a persistent world where battles are fought and won for territory. Like Planetside or something.
