I'll fill in details about it that people keep mentioning. I'm probably repeating this, but eh, I'm not up to reading 6 pages of 'thanks for the review' alternating with 'if you can't do it right, shut up' posts. So here's what I saw people asking most in the 3-4 pages I got through.
Travel- it is all on foot. However, you have a portal system. devices that act as town portal scrolls for one, and then portals in 'towns' to get to various zones, and one in each to go from town to town (Essentially the waypoint pad in Diablo 2)
Movement- WASD. When he says he played it as a FPS and had a blast, that's exactly what he meant. Hotkeys on number bars, WASD movement, quick hotkeys on Q and E for your main skills, left and right click attacks, etc. Personally I like to have left button left hand, and right button right hand, and a gun in each on my marksman.
That lets you fire the right weapon with right button, and left with left, or jsut hold both to spray an area.
Ranged classes have no ammo stat. Unlimited shot, various weapons have rates of fire to determine how much carnage you can make.
Crafting is in the game, sortof. Items are very upgradeable, I am using the same guns on my level 20 marksman I've had since the beginning levels.
Tilesets are VERY redundant. No variety whatsoever, it gets old really fast. But if you like blowing things up, it's all good. Once you've filled an area with smoke and dust from the carnage, it all looks the same anyhow.
Memory leaks and ram. the game requires a gig of ram to play even decently, 2 or more for good gameplay. If you have Vista, don't forget 1 of that is your OS. Like most FPS games with alot of players, you need a ton of ram in your PC to play it well, and 2GB just isn't a ton of ram anymore.
Well, there you go, I think that's about all. if not, too bad. LOL. I'm not paid for this, so this all the time I'm spending. Enjoy the game. if you got more questions- grab the demo off fileplanet.

Warcraft was based off of Warhammer.
um...no. Was it similar? Sure. Was it possibly a complete rip off? maybe. Was it the Warhammer IP? absolutely not.
All of this is ancient history though, and totally beside the point. What the OP said is that they should take Star Trek, and 'Blizzardize' it like they did to Warhammer, and make a 'trek MMO'. that's it, and I'd have to agree. I'd love to see a Blizzard skill-based game. Could they do it? Sure. WOW is item-based because they went with the tried and true EQ model, that's all. Hardly anything new, but they polished it up better than any company before, that's what they do. They take old ideas, and make them right.
How do you feel about advertising inside games?
