Saw this game on CNN( http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/biztech/11 ... index.html ) and was wondering if anyone here has played it, if so what did you think?

I played it for like 3 minutes. the graphics are pigshit ugly and it costs like $30 in american money just to buy your newbie equipment, so I uninstalled it.

I think the business model is a sound one, but poorly implemented in that game.

There's also a huge button on the UI that goes to a screen where you put in your credit card to buy in game money. I bet SOE was kicking themselves for not coming up with that first.

I was in the beta for this back in like 2002.
The game was complete ass.


Good ideas, horrible implementation.
