Anyways, there are other sci-fi MMOs coming our way are too interesting to ignore, you've got Star Trek, which if what i've read and seen is anything to go by, should be really good.

Star Wars, The Old Republic with it's heavy use of story should be full of new ideas to MMOs, giving them a much needed plot shaped kick up the bottom.

Then you have Huxley, which I haven't heard much from for ages, but what little I did see of it, was interesting, more FPS than MMO, but who doesn't like a bit of random gunfire amongst friends?

I do agree about squeezing in another sub, at the moment as I play EQ2 and BE I would have to squeeze in a 3rd rather than drop BE. You know me I couldn't drop EQ2 and BE is a good second game.

You never know if you tell me good things about this game Sres, I might find another use for the joystick I have on order.

I think they're going for the Freelancer style controls, no capitol ships like in X, but lotsa smaller fighters, keeps people on a level pegging I suppose, making the game based more on skill, rather than how many credits they have, and it will be credits, it's the only currency used in space, heh.
