I played this game years ago. Cool to see it getting a new release. I remember when MMORPGs were thriving, there were so many options to play.
Ok, now I’m sure they actually read the fanbase comments when they ask for something. The first 10 seconds of this announcement trailer is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen on the interment.
