This is pointing out the obvious, but what I really like about Multiverse is that if third parties and what are essentially modification teams get into it we can see some really interesting and new MMO games. Developing a MMO is really serious business, so people aren’t prepared to take risks with it: WoW, DoaC, EQ, EQ2, Ultima Online, FFXI, Ragnarok Online, Lineage, Lineage 2, et al. I don’t deny there are some unique ones and even some MMOFPS’s, but that’s what the majority is about.
If Multiverse delivers we can see some experimental MMO’s and I’m all for that. If I’m reading this right even if it’s a total flop, the worst case scenario they'll lose the money they used to produce it and there's plenty of incentive for them to develop on the platform because there is money to be made.
