Forums - Microsoft - Champions and Conan coming....

Is there room for both of these games to co-exist?  i know they are different genres, but MMOs are addictive...I'm twitching now as I need my WoW fix, as I type...I'm looking forward to trying Champion, since I liked COH years ago, but it lacked Shelf Life...maybe this game will have it...Too Human might still be getting some 360 loving tho.
