MMO General

Thread for MMO-related stuff.
Don't generally play MMOs but I've been looking into stuff and wanted to share a couple of cool websites:

However there is one game I am looking forward to, which is the new Phantasy Star Online. It's only in the alpha stage but I think it's looking pretty sweet:

Yeah, I have a pretty great distaste for MMOs on the principle that they eat all your time and energy, and then you get nothing out of it but a few levels and items. It's been so few and far between to find an MMO that isn't just droning around power leveling, and is actually fun. Personally that's why I like Global Agenda. The gameplay is fun enough that I would probably play it by myself, and I like the setting.
I guess my dislike for Fantasy genres is also what stales my liking for MMOs, as only 1 in like, 25 MMOs is NOT set in some kind of fantasy realm.
This looked fun!

Looks pretty interesting. Not too many MMOs set in space.

Got Black Prophecy. Haven't actually played it, but I created a Character... Odd that it's facial options are better than Global Agenda, even though you fly ships rather than walk around... ^^;;
