Almost makes me want to try an mmo, almost.

if only they were free

you might as well play a team based game like neverwinter nights instead, at least that's free and you can either host a server with mates or play on some of the public ones. Having no PVP is just not what MMO's are about, the most fun is levelling up and then taking advantage of the high level pvp that goes on in the worlds.

i've played this and it has some very interesting ideas tbh. I dont agree that MMORPG is all about PVP, for me its about grouping with some mates and defeating a dungeon/quest whatever. PVP is a nice addition, a diversion to me.

However this game does have some issues which i agree dont seem to sit with a monthly payment. It is a non explorable game world essentially, with instanced quests based in town hubs. There is no economy or player crafted trade, and thus little interaction with people you dont know. I've been playing this in beta, and it looks gorgeous, and has some great ideas and VERY well designed dungeons, good fun with mates. BUt yes atm its hard to see how they can charge a monthly fee as you can get the same gameplay style from NWN

It it more like an RPG atm than an MMO your right really.
