I played for a month or so when it first came out. I got the game for free, as I had pre-ordered it several years prior when it was first announced. It was originally going to be a monthly subscription, so they had the game listed for no cost for pre-orders for the initial week or so, then they decided to switch to a paid copy of the game and no monthly cost. Those who added it to their account during the initial announcement at $0 got to keep it.

I even got to play the beta a little before the official launch, and I could have played the alpha before that if I had remembered the game existed.

It is a beautifully rendered game, but the storyline felt lacking. Also, I’ve never really played an mmo before this one for any substantial length of time, so it might just not be my style of game. But I didn’t find it very engaging, aside from the visuals and the soundtrack which were both great.

The opensource engine behind it is really cool. The paint by numbers art used for it is unfortunate

I always thought a Futurama-based MMO would be amazing.
