Massively Multiplayer: Fantasy vs. Sci-Fi

Travis Meacham from Tom's Games writes:-

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is based on the classic, fantasy Warhammer setting. Mythic's previous most well-known game was the PvP heavy Dark Age of Camelot. I'm sure that EA Mythic is a good match for a Warhammer MMO but it's the setting that puts me to sleep. Do we really need another fantasy MMO? Haven't we fought and killed enough giant spiders, skeletons, goblins, zombies and orcs while playing everything from Ultima Online to Lord of the Rings Online?
