A MMORPG without a monthly payment? Riiiiight. I'll believe it when I see it.
Ideas, screenshots, and "This is what e hope to do"s are nice and all, but a game they do not make. I think we can all take Horizons as evidence of this :)
Edit: BTW, what's this latest fad by MMO developers to create seperate dungeons for each group that goes in. MMOs are supposed to be social games - with all that that entails - not antisocial ones. Sure, in the early days of EQ I'm sure kill stealing was considered a "big problem" but it just is an absolute non-issue right now. Hell, in all my time playing DAoC, I cannot recall a single instance of someone stealing kills from me or my group... and only one instance of someone complaining about kill stealing on a public forum (even then, it turned out that it was just a case of poor communication).

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
