China will get their own version of Borderlands

This seems like a really big deal.  At first I thought it was just a random copy by some Chinese developer but this article cites that 2K and Gearbox are involved.

Chinese publisher Shanda Games is working with 2K Games and Gearbox Software to bring Borderlands Online to that market in 2015, according to Kotaku. It will launch on PC and mobile platforms. Borderlands Online will have players to choose from one of four character classes, each based on one of the originals from the first Borderlands.

The story goes on to talk about how the new game is a MMO which seems to support the ending in the pre-sequel where the guardian tells us that Lilith will need all of the vault hunters she can get.

I was never a fan of MMO games and I hate to say it but if Borderlands goes MMO i'm gonna drop the microphone and walk off the stage.  (Not the Podcast one, that bad boy is expensive.)
