According to an announcement today on the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning site EA is combining its RPG and MMOs studios into a new group that will include both BioWare and Mythic.
Mythic GM and co-founder Mark Jacobs left the company yesterday, June 23rd.
BioWare co-founder and General Manager Ray Muzyka will lead the new RPG/MMO studio group as Group General Manager. BioWare's other co-founder, Greg Zeschuk, will be the group's Chief Creative Officer.
Mythic co-founder and COO Rob Denton will move up to Mark Jacobs' vacated position as Mythic General Manager, and will report to Muzyka. BioWare's studios remain unchanged and will continue to report to Muzyka.

Well that explains the cartoony style of ToR. They are using mythic's engine...

Nevermind ToR is using the Hero engine so maybe not the same one.

Maybe BioWare can fix Warhammer Online?
Hah, sorry. Sometimes I get a little optimistic. Just smack me next time I get my hopes up like that.

It's possible, tbh.
I really do like Warhammer, but...
It's not fun playing a MMO, where it ends up feeling like playing Call of Duty on Live, with everyone shouting about their kills, etc in PvP.

They are either going to try and fix it, or slowly strip mine it bare of key personel.
Tbh right now I've no idea which. Although with EA involved who knows what will happen, suppose it depends on how well TOR launches.
