The majority of people (even the ones that still play it) say that the devs ruined it after the NGE (think that stands for new game edition or something) update. I didn't think it was all that bad but perhaps that's because I didn't have any preconceived notions about it from before the updates. To me it played more like a single player game than a MMO (somewhat like a FPS with crafting thrown in). There is a fairly modest playerbase though so the game must still have some appeal. There are personal vehicles for travel but I think they would have been more fun if they could allow weapons to be mounted on them. They did have space combat which was cool but I sucked at it so I didn't do as much with that. All in all if I had to rate the game on a 5 point scale I'd give it a 2.5 .... it's somewhat interesting since it's one of the few mmorpgs not set in medieval/fantasy setting, but overall nothing special.
Thanks for the info!
