Update: As some of our commenters point out, the so-called Twilight Video Game appears to be a few undying fans with a thirst for more Twilight content. A MySpace image discovered by a commenter reveals the game is nothing more than a digital love letter to the series from a few college fans. Twilight MMO not confirmed, the world lives for another day.
Hold on to your coffin! A game based on the book (and now film) series Twilight is currently in development. Threatening to keep women across the world glued to their computer for eternity, details on the game are slim. According to the official Twilight: The Video Game website, the title is an MMO-style "interactive experience" with the ability to relive key moments from the books Twilight, New Moon and Midnight Sun.
What we do know is that the Twilight video game will allow players to jump into the free-roaming world as human, vampire or werewolf (why would anyone pick human?), encounter characters from the franchise, and decorate a home with collectible knickknacks and tchotchkes (à la The Sims, but with less direct sunlight). Should be interesting if you're a fan of the novels, but prepare to be hated by Harry Potter fans everywhere who are still waiting for an MMO to call their own.

Oh great, Humanity will be extinct within a generation. Thousands of years from now an alien explorer ship will find the remains of human civilization, then they will find a computer with this game, and the cycle of death will begin anew.

Game Over Man! Game Over! Time to jump in an old Winnebago and drive as far west as possible while blasting "It's the End of the World". To the fallout shelters!

Ah dammit, we just figured out how to clone sperm so that all the men who spend 18 hours a day playing their XBoxes won't contribute to the downfall of the human race, and now this game appears. So now with both genders glued to their videogames all hours a day, we have no hope at all. Perhaps NOW we will make real efforts toward those artificial wombs. And nanny-bots. And self-cooking kitchens.
... urg.... My ovaries! They are compelling me to play it! I don't even like Twilight! It's a pile of sexist crap! But ... Gender is Destiny! !!! ! Right, Joystiq?

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes,
an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn,
world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak,, grunt, no, strength,
The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing!
Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
Should I continue?

I know I face that possibility,
And if I happen to fall into that fate....Don't hesitate to finish me off. It would be for the better.

I assume you mean following the book in setting and not in plot, because that would make for a huge clusterf**** of a MMO if we had hundreds of thousands of Harrys, Rons, and Hermonies running around, all at different ages, trying to defeat Voldemort and simultaneously crashing the Chamber of Secrets, freeing Buckbeak, participating in the TriWizard Tournament and the Battle of Hogwarts, not to mention The Daily Death of Dumbledore.

Yeah, I meant the world she created. You would probably need a new plot too (maybe ten years after the events of Deathly Hallows or something), but it would be very neat if the levelling process was you progressing through Hogwarts, with things like Quidditch and other sub-gameplay on the side, and you could interact and trade useful items with players of other years walking round the school.
Then at the endgame, you leave the school and can go around a world going into specific magical jobs and solving some kind of big evil conspiracy or whatever.
This is just a fanboys gushing, but you can see the potential for a pretty unique MMO here.
