If I got 5M to burn, i'd rather risk for a UO clone than an EQ clone. Especially when EQ2 and WoW have already drawn almost all the EQ fans, why not just burn your 5mil targeting on the UO fanbase. That's my question to the devs. lol.

Because EQ2 and WoW managed to draw the EQ fans, so if you copy them you might be able to do it too?
