Graphics remind me of World of Warcraft and Psychonauts for some reason.

The bunny girl's look reminded me of the art style for Jak & Daxter.

The trailer is great and all, but I wish they would put some actual gameplay in there, even if its just a few shots. We all know the game won't be like that at all, so what's the point?

MMO accounts get stolen all the time. Piracy doesn't only apply against companies.

This really should have been a cartoon show on Hub or something, but not an MMO. /facepalm

Wow is based off of Warcraft and which came way before LOTR. If you meant just typical Dark Fantasy with Orcs and Elves, then yeah.

Um... no. Warcraft came out in 1994, Lord of the Rings was published in 1954. I mean, you know that LotR was a series of novels, right?

Game has actually been in development for quite some time now. Some of the systems they're claiming to offer are both fresh and ambitious. This might definitely be one to keep an eye on if you're sick of the WoW model.

Orcs and Elves wouldn't be what they are today without LOTR. Pretty much the entire fantasy genre as it exists now only exists because of LOTR.

I love it. Let me play it now and also make it into a show I can watch when I'm not leveling.

Reminds me of Ratchet and Clank in its art style and humor.

This was my first impression too, the style of the world, the ship especially, a furry long eared lead character, broken immediately by splices of humor.
The combat scene though make me think of Trine, three distinct characters each with their own fighting style that look as though they'd compliment and supplement each other for fights and puzzles.
Depending on the gameplay though this could either be an entertaining game or a fun anime.

They should make a movie, or better yet tv series out of this. I would watch it.

The girl's eyes are too huge to the point of being mild nightmare fuel, and has such ugly hair. Shame really, since the rest of the art style really pops and looks good, the other characters look good in a psuedo Dreamworks meets Pixar middle ground way.

Not much of an MMO player myself, but I'm really diggin' this trailer! Beautiful voice acting, brilliant lines and perfect delivery.

When I saw bunnylady at first I was thinking "uh oh" waiting for another FF style design but then it really came together. I'm looking forward to learning more on this!

I wonder if this is the NC game at the mystery demo panel at PAX.

Here's some gameplay video (Though the audio is off)

I've been following this game since it was just a mystery Carbine Studios game. I LOVE the art style and the gameplay looks like a lot of fun! (Looks like an action game like Tera and Guild Wars 2)
This is now my 2nd most anticipated MMO (2nd only to Guild Wars 2)

Getting a real Borderlands meets Jak and Daxter vibe off of this one - and I like it. :D Not much of an MMO player myself (I've barely gotten into WoW) but this looks interesting enough to check out.

too bad games are never like the CG trailer.
it's most likely just gonna be another tab target auto-attack clone

Heh, I don't care what the actual game is like. The trailer made me laugh and laugh. That's good enough for me right now.
I'll judge the game on it's merits when it becomes available.
