E3: Could Heroes of Telara's new social gaming replace Warcraft?

Heroes of Telara is an upcoming fantasy-style MMORPG from Trion World Networks, but that's not what the developers are calling it: Company spokesman Dave Geffon told SCI FI Wire at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles Thursday that the game is a "massively social fully dynamic server-based game." Quite a mouthful, but it really is different. Server-based gaming takes a large percentage of a massively multiplayer online game and puts it onto the server instead of the client. What that means is that Trion can publish far more content much more easily than they could on a traditional client patch system. (link)
