Even more fortunately, it's not like there will be anyone at ICE in a
position to legally object if their new system is awfully close to
Rolemaster.

Not necessarily so. When Fallout was being developed, Interplay was
initially using the GURPS RPG system as their base stat/skill system. But
fairly late into the development process, they lost the GURPS license and
had to create their own stats/skill system from scratch. Now I don't know
how long this delayed release, but I don't think it was very long. The
developers of DAoC can work on areas such as graphics, AI, client/server
interface, etc. while they develop a new stat/skill system.

Nope, count DAoC out. Since ICE just folded, they've lost the rights to
the role-playing game engine they were using as a core for the
game. Contrary to statements to the otherwise, there is no way that they
can develop a new engine that is stable and decent in time to meet their
schedule. There WILL be delays.

P.S. Shadowbane does look good in terms of gameplay - but the graphics look
pretty bad still.
