... didn't they do this once? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_Online
or is the 40k setting in the future quite different?
Warhammer Online (WAR) was made by Mythic, who previously made Dark Ages of Camelot (DAoC). DAoC was fairly successful at it's time, and received a bit of praise with it's RvR mechanics and other stuff. WAR was like a watered down, WoWified version of it.
The Warhammer 40k MMO was rumored to be made by Relic, who made the Dawn of War series. That rumor was kind of wrong though, as it's not being made by Vigil Games, who have only created Darksiders.
This has been another infomercial, provided to you by a guy with too much time.

But what i expect is 4 to 6 factions to start with to choose from...and then hopfully we can expect the Tau/Necrons and other Branches of the Emperium to show up to play sorry to you Tyrannids but i got a bad feeling that they wont be a playable Race *just a feeling after looking back at other mmo's* but.. if im proven wrong which i hope i am o lord ill run out of pants ><.
I heard
a rumor that Tyranids would be the main NPC villain of the game, making them very much unplayable.
