I *loved* the Wizardry saga (and also the XII and half chapter: Wizards and Warriors), but WHY should they add those ugly mongoloid gnomes with big heads for fucksake, those kind of things keep videogames looks like children games.

By the way this is an important progress made in the mainstream videogame industry: MMORPG -AND- PERMADEATH. Very interesting unexplored territory. I never played MMORPGs because I hate grinding and crpgs without permadeath are obviously all about it, but if I update my computer I'll probably try this one.

I never bothered with MMORPGs for the same reason, and this totally looks worth trying out. It's even free, no less. Now all I need is to build a new rig, seeing as how mine's five years old and counting... Too bad that's anything but free. Come to think of it, no wonder I'm playing RLs more than anything these past couple years! :D
