That is my only complaint about the industry. Need more sci-fi. Sheesh, don't we have enough swords and sorcery MMOs? That is my only complaint about the industry. Need more sci-fi.

The main problem with the game is what you mentionned. Once I finish most quests at least once and I hit level 10, I honestly dont see what there is left to do or why bother starting again. And really, it does not -feel- like a world at all. Stormreachs is a really cute, graphical version of Gamespy or Battlenet.. but thats pretty much all it is, at least at low level. Thats fine for getting to quests with my buddies but it is horrible for immersion. Fun game, nice to see a battle system that stray's from the EQ/Diku model and I probably will not play more then a few months ( but fun months!) Nerf halflings! I have roughly the same take.
