I've been interested in this game for ages now, but like Picoboom, I think I'll keep waiting until it's actually done. Maybe by that time Planet Nomads will swoop in to scratch that itch instead, who knows?

This seems a bit closer to my strike zone than the PvP-heavy offerings we've been getting so far. It certainly looks a lot better than the disappointing RPG MO, which also went for a similar Ultima/early Runescape look.

I'm with Beamboom on this, I'd love for there to be more and better PvE MMO experiences for Linux. I'm one of those people who actually reads quests in WoW or whatever, thinks lore is more interesting than gear, and likes the idea of a world full of actual people doing things just like me, and grouping up for stuff like dungeons or particularly tough monsters. I love auction houses and guild halls and local chats that I mostly ignore but that exist independently of my actions. I love exploring a world and having someone going about their own mission give me a wave or some other emote just to show we're both having fun.

Not to say I don't think there's a place for mainly PvP MMOs like this one. It's just really not for me, and there's really zero good options on Linux for the stuff that actually does draw me to MMOs.

I seriously can't wait for Defender's Quest 2 to come out, he's been teasing it for a long time now.

Hmm, another MMO with low levels of RP and lore. Not my jam, although it's good to be getting more options.

Huh, turns out all I had to do was add "--windowed" to the launch options. That was easy.

And Minetest, which is free and native on Linux, also offers a great experience.

The first pic looks very Torchlight II, the second more Bastion.

Game doesn't respect my dual-monitor setup, tries to use both as one big display. Not finding any real options to change it to windowed mode either.

Quoting: PicoboomI am by nature an amiable loner, and so I tend to avoid most PvP gameplay and shy away from joining formal guilds, groups, and teams. I want to support Albion Online --- I've looked it over several times after Liam has written about it here --- but its focus on PvP and Guilds just doesn't sound like it's for me. I'm pinning most of my MMORPG hopes on either open-sourced Ryzom or Runescape, I'm afraid.

I'm a lot like you, I always played WoW for the questing and tooling around different areas to check out the environments. PvP has never been an interest for me, I want to interact with a world while other people interact with the same world. It doesn't look like Albion is going to satisfy any of that.
