<3 Hollow World
I've been on the staff of MMORPG.com for a few years now, I rarely write - mostly helping out proof reading material for reports etc. However there is one game that I wanted to draw your attention to, it's not in competition with minecraft or Hollow World and could fall flat on it's backside after testing so here goes

Why am I excited about this?
1. Three factions, just like Dark age of Camelot. Non-faction members cannot communicate in game (something I always hated in Rift).
2. Beta is actually going to be a proper beta, not a publicity test. If/when it happens it'll be an unfinished product, most of the betas I've played in have been there to give press a free ride for a month or two, I'm sure many of you have noticed how many of the betas seems immensely polished for a game "in development".
3. Developers think like players. It's all over the game, they want it to be enjoyable and rewarding, but different... hopefully (and I mean hopefully) not another WoW clone.
4. It looks completely insane. I might vomit upon seeing it in-game but it's nice to be different.
5. It's not a half-baked attempt at an existing franchise which will draw fan-boys.
So if you fancy giving it a shot sign up, worst that can happen is you get to beta test a game and decide not to buy it.
