This one flew almost entirely under my radar. I was vaguely aware of
it, but it never seemed to gain any traction and I never gave it a
trry. The early 2000s were _rife_ with new MMORPGs and it was
impossible to keep up with all of them.

That trailer, though, brings back memories of all the flashy
pre-rendered videos used to sell a game that poorly reflected the
actual graphics in the game. ;-)
