    Sorry, the website is kind of hard to wade through, so I'll ask it here:

    Is there anything interesting about this game?

    Barely. I'd have picked Rob Liefeld over whoever drew that.

    I like that use of 'barely'. I can't tell what it modifies :)

    So has anyone tried it? I was browsing their forums and the download weighs in at over 900MB :O I didn't think those Quake textures were that large.

    I must admit I don't get why so many people think making a clone of existing games (with less budget and skill) is a good idea?

    The best indie/small devs fill a niche that other publishers don't address and they do with clever, interesting and/or unique games.

    To simply plop out another ye generic fantasy MMORPG.. man, that seems like a real waste of time to me..

    All their screenshot galleries are empty. If they look anything like the image on the front page then its all for the best.

    I saw the game at E3. It's supposed to be a pre-UO:R style MMOG, only with 3D graphics. Very open-ended gameplay, PvP, etc.

    It may not look like much, but it's pretty impressive considering they only spent $1M developing it.
