What do you think? I've missed the days of UO from back in the day. Do you think this is looking like it might be a good follow up?

This game should be listed. It's clearly not vaporware and has the backing of reputable people. Let's have a place for all the Arch Age people to communicate and exchange information.

Yeah the possible grind scares me.

They say they want to be like UO, though and UO had no grind. Who knows? You can build houses and stuff, so at least there'd be other things to do like in UO.
