The sci-fi part didn't appeal much-But who knows. It sounds original. It could be another failuare (I spelled that wrong didn't I) Because of the storytelling part. Most MMoers don't read much (unless its told aloud). If it comes out well and appeals to everyone however it will probably beat WoW. It could attract more people of all ages and gender. If it has a compelling story. Lets wait and see if its just another MMo or 'The One'. XD As a girl who loves stories-This MMo got me (if they do the story-telling part correctly).

I stupidly didn't get most of it since I just scanned through-But this sounds great! Sounds like this is going to be a game with actually depth for once! And the concept artist sounds incredible. May this be a WoW killer. WoW is too old. The story telling part absoulely won me over. I stupidly didn't get most of it since I just scanned through-But this sounds great!

One perennial question that I'd like to see the Carbine devs address is the "endgame." If they agree that game mechanics that arbitrarily block player progression are bad, how do they provide sufficient content to the insatiable maw of hardcore MMO players? Sandbox, open world PvP? Large scale collaborative projects (ala A Tale in the Desert)? Ack, my kingdom for an edit button. One perennial question that I'd like to see the Carbine devs address is the "endgame."
