As if the MMORPG scene wasn't already overcrowded, here comes Disney to exemplify the problem of the genre. Ladies and gentlemen, Disney Fantasy Online is on the way!
It's basically World of Warcraft but with Disney shoehorned into it, from the sounds of things. Players complete quests, level up, gain items, all that business. Established characters like Mickey Mouse and his anthropomorphic chums will appear as NPCs. Combat will actually represented with turn-based battles and players will be able to build their own castles.
MMOs will be getting just a little more stupid in Spring 2009.

Disney MMO dating going incredibly wrong in 5..4..3.
If I still had one living with me, and she was interested in playing an online game, I might consider something like this.
I doubt this is supposed to be marketed at like, the Destructoid demographic.
Wonder what the end game raids will be? Raiding Scrouge McDucks vault? >:)
Too bad I don't play MMO's.
