Never heard of it... I looked at the site, might be interesting.  Too lazy to read up on it right now though.  

The voting option "Mmmkay" reminds me of the Guidance Councillor from South Park.

You guys should give it ago, it's the largest multi player game in the world. You have skills like fighting, cookin, crafting, magic, rune craftig, mining and heaps more. The higher the skills the more you can do. Mine till ur 85 and sell rune or fish and sell shark meat. Than buy armour and weapons and become the ultimate player.

can you back that up please? I heard of Runescape 2 years ago played it for ten minutes and hated it. Now I'm not saying it's a bad game for everyone but throwing something like that out there while World Of Warcraft sits on my desk and Ultima sits on...a lot of other desks that aren't mine just doesn't seem accurate, as far as FREE MULTIPLAYER games go than maybe but you have to understand the game known to all as MapleStory and don't forget Gunbound. I'll bet Command And Conquerer beats it online (or atleast used to). The fact is that's a huge statement that shouldn't be thrown around. Given evidence sufficent enough I may come to agree however I severely doubt this claim at the moment.

Well on the website it shows the amount of people playing at a time 107088 at the moment. Also the game is free (unless you decide to become a member and make the game 3 times bigger).

I don't have any hard evidence but those tow points in my opinion is enough to support my claim.

not nearly enough for me I'm afraid.

Cooking as a skill...?  Doesn't sound very warrior-like.  But hey, everyone's gotta eat.  

... and Crafting as a skill?  Ooooh look, I can glue two popsicle sticks together.   :p

I would have guessed that World of Warcraft was the biggest multiplayer game in the world.  At least, at this moment anyway.

Warcraft has Cooking and Crafting as well but cooking first aid and fishing are skills that don't actually count when picking your classes.

I played it for a little bit awhile back. It didn't really impress me all that much. It's not really that it's bad, theres just better stuff out there. I doubt that it is the largest free MMORPG out there either.

I doubt it and please stop posting random messages like that. We have a thread dedicated to that sort of thing in the OT-forum.

If you play Runescape, you are sooo uncool!

:rollin I've played it.  It's totally uncool..

I'm glad this poll is here, i had forgotten about that game.  I played it in beta, and hadn't gone back to it until today.  My character is still the best looking one on the server ;)    But honestly, this game is more complex than anything i can create so far, so I'll give it that.  But I don't like that you play half the game for free, and half is available to 'members'.  It just doesn't seem like a good enough game to have to pay for any parts of it..  And the camera views are ultra-awkward.  It feels like some nerd  8o  threw it together in his/her spare time to try and sap out some money from the mmorg population.  All I have to say is, 'You GO Nerd-boy!"

What you mean the camera views ultra-awkward?
You have complete control over the camera with the arrow keys.

I just found it cumbersome personally.  At my typical resolution the game is in a little box on the screen (there doesn't seem to be a full screen mode feature), i can't zoom in as far as i'd like to, it only zooms in AS it tilts, so I can't zoom in at any angle I'd like, and i can't tilt it more than 60 degrees to begin with, the view won't swivel to follow my character's line of sight automatically, and I can only move my character by clicking on the ground - which gets blocked by walls and shelves whenever i'm looking at a reasonable angle where i can actually see my character.  These are just my own personal gripes, but for me they make the game too frustrating to enjoy.
    The Sound Effects are pretty cool though. :)  I imagine when I start making my own sound effects they will sound quite similar.  It's too bad you can't ever look up at the sky though.. <recalls King's Quest 8's lack of sky)  Darned Sierra for creating a 3D Daventry and not allowing us to enjoy the sky!
