You'll grasp the combat better by looking for some videos in youtube, sort them by date, just in case you jump into one of the pre-release ones/early beta which might confuse you.

I can, however, tell you there's no aiming excepting for certain aoe spells.

It's an rpg not a fps/hacknslash so yeah, its like every other mmo with auto attack/skill mashing.

Though they have stylish animations to keep it a little exciting thankfully.

As stated on the internet 1.5 trillion times and growing FPS with thousands of people would not be a game of skill..it would be a game of who has the better connection at any given point and time.  With this basis the game would die as people in bad areas, far from the server, with lower grade comps, LCD's vs CRT's, bad wiring, etc...left for a game that is not twitch and connection based.

Mortal Online is supposed to be coming out soon.

Tell that to other games that tried and failed.  That is why left4dead is limited to 4 people in each game.  More than that and you lose the good speed.  You are in dream land if you think the lag now in a game that is not twitch would not kill a game that is.

Check out Global Agenda or Jump-gate Evolution.  Probably more of what you are looking for.

Pretty, but slightly clunky WoW esque combat is what you can expect here.
