Well, here is one more MMO being announced. I know I do not sound all that enthusiastic, even though I really did like the Firefly universe. As one fan said in the documentary Done The Impossible:

“…I love that there are no aliens in it, I’m SICK of aliens…”

It is a future setting, one side is the Alliance, think of it as the established government of all populated planets, another side is the pure evil humans that we see in the film as the result of

and then there are the people in between, covering everything from the simple accounting clerk to the pirate captain running a smuggling route.

I did like the series, I enjoyed the movie, but I cannot get excited about yet one more MMO. Gaming companies have turned their attention to MMOs and so many have produced one, but most of them are just unplayable crap. I’ve only enjoyed a handful of MMOs I’ve played, and even from those, only one stood out as a truly complete experience with only superficial bugs or omissions that didn’t destroy the game as some point.

So I say, good news, here’s to hoping the best, but also, here’s to not getting excited. I’ll just wait and see…
