So don't buy it.

Opting not to buy it is one thing... going all nerd rage because they're trying something you don't like is just childish.

There are plenty of other games to play.

" attractive characters and skimpy outfits have been a part of our culture for quite some time now"

Fixed that for you.

I don't play female characters, but if I did I wouldn't play TERA, that's for sure.

Seriously, I'm really puzzled by the hate on the camera controls. Right mouse button moves the camera, right? What's so bad about that?

Not trying to start a fight, just really curious what it is that everyone hates about the camera controls.

I don't get why everyone is complaining about the controls either. They seem find to me. Yes, they're a little different from WoW, but y'know, not EVERY game has to control like WoW.

In fact I really like how keyboard friendly the controls are.

You could be right I guess. I played a shooting gallery game and a more-or-less on-rails space shooter. I suppose either could add a second player, though I'm not sure how they'd work with more than 2 without things getting really crowded.

I hate to be "that guy" but I'm not seeing the MMO here. Sure there's a social lobby hub but then it's all single player mini-games, isn't it?

Full disclosure, I only played for an hour or so last night, so maybe I missed something.

I'm not knocking the game... it seemed like it'll be fun for the intended audience. But I didn't see anything even MP about it, let alone MMO.

Nothing about the GU that's going live tomorrow? It's great worrying about February expansions and all but I'd love to know what I have to look forward to tomorrow.

I didn't say there was anything bad about it. Quite the contrary. There're a lot of these browser-based games and no one covers them and I'm curious to know if any of them are any good.

Like what makes Evony bad and this one good?

Hmm, so will you start covering Evony and all the other browser-based "4X lite" games that are out there?

And this is why most developers are not 'transparent.'

Massively, to put this article in context, please report the size of the 'live team' for other MMOs. Is 54 people really that small? It sounds pretty large to me, given than it doesn't include the Incarna team.

And what is a developer? Is that the people writing the actual code and building the game engine, or does that include artists, sound people, customer support and the like?
