Yeah, typical MMO fantasy setting.

However, I just get the imporession that rather than be HUGE, they are focusing on packed in content, player driven economics and sandbox elements. I like the way they are planning to launch, very much an Eve-esque sort of plan in fantasy.

Dunno, every time I see the name I think I should stop drinking and go to meetings.

Weird word association. Oh well.

Their youtube vid about the game engine looks rather promising.   Might be the first MMO design platform to hit the market that has some quality to it.

I signed up for beta but with MMORPG.com throwing it on the front page, I am doubtful I will get in now as so many people probably registered "for the hell of it" that day.

I just resubbed to WAR actually and I am craving something better. WAR is just...empty. I went to a "high populated" server and I feel like I am playing by myself. It's very lonely and I can't wait for a better MMO.

Yeah the engine video makes me wonder though...

Is he trying to promote the game or the engine?

Been following this game for a while now and I signed up for beta as well. Heck I even toyed around with making a sig for it:

It has some features I'm interested to the implementation of: deities, families, studies and the wiki-like library system that can be used in game.

I think it has a lot of promise, my fear is that it won't do well enough to survive.

They are doing it right and I think it will hurt them in the long run. With focusing on polish instead of features, I'm afraid that once they launch they won't be able to get a big enough player base to fund expanding the game.

I only hope I'm wrong and they prove to the big guys that quality > quantity.

Seriously I have seen alot of people shouting the phrase "wow clone" and it didn't fit but think one does really fall into the category, I just seen a video of this game in youtube and it just looks like a downgraded version of wow.

World of Warcraft is a proof that MMORPG quality should affect schedule/budget and not the other way around.

 Don't kill me for this, but it does look a lot like WoW; the graphics, the interface, the currency...however, for a F2P it looks promising and I'm signed up for the beta and looking forwards to trying it out!

If by 'promising' you mean looks exactly like a crappier version of WoW, than yea, I agree with you.
