I'm glad of it!

And I think it will be pretty good. From the Alpha play I've seen, it's mechanically sound and they're focusing on the nuts and bolts of features to make sure what they want to do is properly supported. Unlike many developers trying to reinvent the wheel or imitate the past, they're doing a little of both -- taking what worked in previous games and what didn't, and refreshing it. They're very much rooted in the old school rules which means a huge amount of character investment without the need for alts, but also a huge amount of depth and customization.

I will say that the game appears to be in a "polish" stage, as the world and systems seem mostly done. A lot of what is being worked on now appears focused around the UI, models, and sound design.

Also, no instancing, and there is clipping so you can't just run through players. The "plate wall" of melee defending chokes and protecting squishy casters and ranged dps is very much back.

Is it finally time for an mmo in the modern day, only time will tell. Will the mmo of the future be more evolved than the mmo of 10 years past, stay tuned next year to find out more.

Awful has to ground floor the IT infrastructure on every vaporware game, allowing him to finally be goon overlord of precisely one. Odds are in his favor if he keeps trying.
