I think the fact that this post has been up for an hour and a half and no one commented on it is a sad testament to how little people were affected by this title. It is the epitome of Meh.

I don't think you watched the same video that I did.

Give it single player, then we'll talk.
I don't understand why everyone thinks they can throw out some half-assed (no offense towards the above studio) MMO and expect to rake in big bucks every month. I understand the lure of the idea of a steady paycheck, but an MMO is a very hard venture for a company who can't put forth the proper capital for it.

Agreed.
You can't just make a game and go about asking 'hey, anyone wanna spend tens of thousands of dollars in servers to host my MMO?'. I think you should first make an independent release and make it known enough for someone to want to host it.
