Holy mother of Escher, that's some mind bending concept art LINK [http://themummy430.bpcdn.net/images/img_screenshots/013_g.jpg]

Nope, not interested.
I can't even believe that there are developers desperate enough to take on a franchise that... really isn't that much of a franchise... I mean two movies and some movie about a Chinese Mummy or sumthin isn't exactly prime real estate for a mumorpugor...
The thing is: If it hadn't been based on The Mummy franchise, I probably would be more interested in it. Sure, dejavu would've hit me within five minutes of gameplay but they could always say "Well, that's just a funny coincidence and yeah, we got those trademarks and copyrights just in case" *eyeshift* *blatant lie*
and I would just go 'aight' and play it until I realize (five minutes later) that it's just a cheap WoW knock off and deserves to be forgotten within a month of release

I mean: yay for two faction (arbitrarily good vs evil), a concept that NEVER has been used before.

"Boy, Jim, it was sure hard getting that game design degree. I wonder what our first game will be. Perhaps a sequel to Braid, or Amnesia: The Dark Descent? Or the new Halo franchise? Or perhaps an indie game that we will catapault into the spotlight"?

"I don't know, Sally, let's open this envelope here and find out. Let's see... 'The Mummy Online'. Well, shit".

I.. have never even heard of this.
And I wish I was still as ignorant as I was 30 seconds ago.

Why did I get an invite to this?
How did that even happen?
