Yep, Dark Millenium Online went to Dark Millenium Offline.
Then it went to No Millenium At All it seems right now. And then this happens for some reason: http://www.eternalcrusade.com/ honestly, i am not sure what to think about this right now . . |

"Founded in 1992, Behaviour Interactive is Canada’s largest independent game developer, employing talented people in Montreal (Quebec) and Santiago (Chile)."
No shit, they're in Montreal? Never heard of them... |

Probably because by 2015 they'll have to scrap their work and start again to keep up with modern hardware. Though ironically the static nature of consoles might be their savior on that front. |

Nah, WAAAAAGH! is where it's at.
One of the concepts to get the player race balance right is to make ork boys a free to play race while all other races are paid for, if i remember correctly. |

You know we (the AD&D group) had that back in like 97. You make a AD&D MMO, and you can play monsters for free, and people who pay can play against real live brains instead of AI.
I think it's a pretty good idea, but what would they do for premium orkz? The nobs or something? |

Aren't the Space Marines the "baseline" of 40k? |

yes and no.
stat wise, yes, it's most definitely true that most things are modeled with them in mind. but in universe there are 10 imperial guardsmen and 100 orks for each space marine. |

Those ratios sound very, very low to me. A Codex-compliant chapter consists of 1,000 Marines, right? And the IG is supposed to have billions, possibly trillions of troops. Your figures suggest that there are in excess of a million Space Marine chapters, which I strongly doubt.

Well, that number is always pretty nebulous, but IIRC there are over a thousand, and some don't strictly adhere to the 1000 roster number (bloody heretics).
But yea, I think I'd revise those numbers up. 1000 guardsmen = 100 orks = 1 space marine. I mean Eldar are supposedly very diminished in numbers but they always seem to have enough guys for a fight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Your figures suggest that there are in excess of a million Space Marine chapters, which I strongly doubt. technically, there are. as of fluff at least. there's a reason they were called legions. the biggest had, i think, 250k marines. granted, that was before the horus wars. Some quick calculations say there were, originally, about 1,6 Million Marines |

Factor in the ones that, as Bigity points out, have more than a thousand Marines (IIRC, the Black Templars are a huge offender in that area, with something like 6,000 Marines), and I'd be very surprised if there were many more than 1,000 Chapters. Where are you getting the idea that there are over a million? |

lexicanum.com has odd numbers and facts on basically most anything ever about both WH40K and WHFB.
these numbers are, as i said before, from 30k actually also, the black legion might, in 40k, actually have more than 1 million marines alone. |

A million Marines. Not a million Chapters.
Found a reference: wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Loyal_Space_Marine_Chapters_(List) Apparently, there are about a thousand loyalist Chapters. |
