Ya, I know.. I posted it because it took me a few retries to get it, so I thought that maybe it wasn't available before or something...

Sounds like a RPG diary to me. Everquest PK campaign? Plus some fun stuff they did/find/had it seems.

Well, yes and no. It is an RPG, but it's not solely online; in addition, the universe is not persistent (you can start new levels and such). In most MMORPGs, the universe/world stays the same, and there is only the one theatre of operation, where everything takes place.

That one will fall, and will fall hard.

I'm really looking forward to EVE: The Second Genesis ("http://www.eve-online.com"). Role-playing + trading + stuff, and it's in space! YAH!

+ it's accepting beta applications.

I get you don't like blizzard? Wow is already really beautifull, I won't worry a single second about gameplay (I know blizzard games), and the background is already incredible. Plus it's already incredibly popular.  But it's useless arguing, you don't like it, nothing I wll say will convince you. I don't care, I'm ready to pay the fee for this one.
