I think Everquest Next is hinting at VR support, but I think it's going to take something built around the idea of VR from the ground up. I think it will have to be built into the game, deeply part of it, not just a feature. I don't think it will be an easy thing to do, there are a lot of ramifications to it. For example, I don't know how you'd do an user interface that wouldn't destroy immersion. But I think somebody will figure out how to do it, and they'll be the next Blizzard. Or Apple. (I'm not sure about multiboxing in that kind of environment, though.)
There are 2 mountains VR needs to climb first before it becomes mainstream like the wii did.

1. Stop the glasses causing motion sickness in people
2. Not require physical glasses be worn

Other then that, good luck with your project! Sounds like you are pulling together elements from a lot of games which could be interesting, as long as it's not grindy I'll play!

Also there is a new game out on consoles atm that has you control 2 characters at once using the paddles that sounds quite interesting (sorry I can't remember the name).
