No, it's not, but it's really fun... I've been playing all week. I'll definitely miss it. Sad that it just ended... :( Closer to Diablo II maybe, not quite. It's a mix of team adventures (chosen teams of 4) and various types of PvP... lot of fun, IMO. And free can't be beat... but I think it'll definitely be worth getting. Especially since there's no monthly fee... but you're right, it isn't a normal MMORPG, which is probably a big part of why it's free. You only interact with others not on your team in the non-combat areas... making the solo game lonely. Oh well, the rest makes up for it. Very fun. And a REALLY good marketing tool to release it free for 5 days... I just wish I'd beaten the fourth team mission (four players on a scripted mission)... oh well.
It locked levels in the demo, but I've heard the full version has less emphasis on levelling. It's more about getting the skills... and since it limits everyone to eight, higher level players have less of an advantage I'd expect. But you have to do something if the game's as focused on PvP as this... several of the major game modes are PvP. And it is a pretty action-oriented RPG... but with definite strategy, with choosing your skills and then using them wisely.
Oh yeah, and the graphics are great.
