I don't know. The market is pretty flooded with historical/fantasy MMOs. Perhaps they are focusing on something that they know will sell well and serve any untapped market instead of trying to win folks away for WoW or LoTR Online.
Perhaps, though its the curse of the Star Trek gaming. To be honest and after the failure of Legacy iam pretty much done with Star Trek, iam looking forward to Stargate Worlds and Pirates of the Burning Sea both MMO's.
Iam not a big fan of Wow, i like Guildwars more than Wow.
