Excellent advice!! Ask for permission first when it comes to using someone else's copyright. They CAN shut you down whether or you're free, commercial, etc. The only way they can't shut you down is if only you (and maybe a few friends) play on the mud. Now, granted, I'm not saying they WILL shut you down. They just CAN shut you down.

Don't think that you're out of the scope of legal action if you're from another country either. GW is not a US company though they have a US branch. They are a British company, and they are well versed in international copyright laws.

Mythic is the second company to work on a Warhammer MMO. GW pulled support from the first company and revoked their license. The first company tried to keep going for a while without GW. That didn't work out so well.

Anyway, just ask and make sure!!
