Checked it out, and I'm not so impressed with it so far. Is there more to it than the quest line and the crafting bit?

What about A Valley Without Wind? Arcen Games' (makers of AI Wars) upcoming release, a side scrolling action-adventure survival game with perma-death and an infinite world to explore. Looks nifty.

Looks like a really promising game, I'm sort of hoping there will be a WW1 mode

Tribal Hero is an online multiplayer game which allows you to build your own empire. You will be able to compete against thousands of players in an engaging environment. Best of all, Tribal Hero can be fully enjoyed without having to spend your entire day in front of the computer.

Somwhat enjoyed Black Market, didn't buy it though.

Heard Towns was supposed to be good, like a simpler DF, haven't tried it yet though.

PERPETUUM looks like an interesting alternative to EVE, they have much in common I heard.

Speaking of Nexon... I love the older games they used to run but later dropped:

http://www.darkages.com/

These two games were literally my introduction into the MMORPG world (I discovered MMORPGs back in 1998) and I will always have fond memories of them both. They've since been picked up by KRU Interactive and from what I can see they've been doing alright.

Between the two I love Dark Ages because of the faith and government system. In fact... with enough people you can actually run for different government positions (I think the lowest being guard) and succeed. As a guard you are given power to remove people from the town you are a guard of, which basically means you are going to be dealing with a lot of bots or people that use macros to raise skills. A person that has been removed from a town cannot reenter the town until a certain amount of time has passed (I am thinking a full real-life week.)

This leads a lot of people to abuse their powers for their own personal gain.

Corruption was, or still is, rampant and it ran straight up to the judges and rangers. People who used macros would pay off government officials to be left alone while others would pay to have people removed from towns simply because they were offended in some way. Of course the innocent person who was removed can't appeal the removal because to do that you would need a guard's help, so they would end up waiting for a real-life week until they could return to the town. Pray that the town you were removed from wasn't the one you needed to get into for a quest or church.

But... I digress.

No matter what new fancy game comes out I will still have a place in my heart for the older ones that started it all.

Edit:

Here's a link to the wikipedia article about Dark Ages. It goes a bit more in-depth about the game for those who would be interested in giving it a try.

Holy shit dark ages looks almost exactly the same as Endless Online, a game from around the same time
