Assuming that you've got a fairly open brief here, have you generated plenty of ideas before getting stuck into creating the actual logo?
I only ask as the existing WorldForge symbol features an anvil, sword and something that looks like a planet. These create an association with "world", "forge" and "roleplaying games" to me. At the moment, your logo simply addresses the "world" part and might seem a bit "generic" for this distinctive client.
I'd be looking to recombine some of the original symbols into the new logo. Anvils and swords are strong, distinctive shapes and it might be possible to integrate these into the text (or the whitespace around the text).
I'd also be trying to generate many ideas based on other possible associations eg:
hammer, molten metal, flames, ,blacksmith, battleaxe, helmet, armour, planet earth, globe, world map etc.
Don't be too critical early on and try to let the ideas flow without too much judgement. Return to the ideas/sketches after a day or two and something might grab you or suggest further possibilities.
