I found this mmorpg yesterday while perusing the internet.
It is actually quite fun. It is early in development, so it is lacking in some areas, but it really captures a certain feel that I look for.
It's a bit hard to explain, but definitely worth checking out. There's no page for it here at mmorpg.com.
I was immensely enjoying the tutorial. There is no hand holding, no classes (you level up skills as you use them). You learn other skills as you discover them in the world. The dungeons are non instanced, although there are zone lines.
Monsters are actually challenging.
There are puzzles to solve throughout the game world.
Talking with NPCs is very important.
Basically a lot of "old school" elements. Graphics are meh. Reminds me of EQ1 days. But hey, it is a nice game.
Early in development though, so it is not fully fleshed out. It is still a pretty small world... but the community seems pretty dedicated.
Link above if any of you all are curious, and sorry if this has been posted before. I just kinda stumbled on it yesterday and was surprised to find something I have been looking for.

I play it OP and is the only game i enjoy right now.
The graphics are actually not that bad,we just don't see a lot of assets because it is a VERY small team handling this with very little money.
If you max out the settings they are definitely better than EQ1 and more in line with every game except a few like FFXIV of course is higher end .
It does everything the way i like ,except it is missing one aspect.The main guy in charge is trying to push more grouping but A not enough players yet and B there is no player to player combos,it is like every other game still a solo player within a group. it is solo minded aside from healing others if you have that skill on and it seems some skills just passively hit others that are close by when you use them.
But i can't express enough how much a breathe of fresh air it is to NOT see those lame yellow markers over npc heads,that alone brings a smile to my face.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Thank you Kano. I started the download! I guess thats the best way to find out.

Looked through this, found it very interesting. It's a shame they didn't fund.
For starters they need to come up with the real title instead going by the codename.
Say hello to Peter Porker if you Oink run across him.
I havent played a game in about 4 years which has made me actually stay up late and not care to mind my self imposed "bed time"
But last night I looked at the clock, I had sat down at about 10PM and it was 2AM by the time I logged out. Okay, 4 hours isn't all that long (compared to how easy it is to get really lost in some mmos...), but I only intended to do some fishing for a bit and maybe a quest before turning in for the night...
Somewhere along the lines I just got distracted.
I take that as a good sign, I hope this game goes somewhere it has a good tone and feel to it.
I saw too that the kickstarter didnt fund when they last tried. I am guessing it was a lack of exposure issue. I hope they try again.
you ignored the danger dude...it did give you a warning..but you were like...fck it i can solo it hehe :P
but hey..its fun to play as a cow to 
i know a guy in game who has been a cow since start 
..and a funny thing..you can milk him if he gives you premission lol!

Seeing this game mentioned in another thread, I thought I would check it out. I have run into a problem. I download the Windows installer zip and when I unzip it, there is no ProjectGorgonWinLauncher.exe file unzipped, although it shows in my Winrar window ready to be unzipped. Since it seems others are playing this, I am feeling that this is a "just me" moment
I've looked about on their forums and see no mention of the installer not getting unzipped. Not sure if I want to create an account if I can not play.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR

Hmmm might be the first time those words were written on the internet
this game looking awesome , maybe mmo genre have future
My problem isn't unzipping the thing but patching:
Project Gorgon server does not appear to be running right now.
Error: Could not resolve host: projectgorgon.com; Unrecoverable error in call to nameserver
I'd like to post a solution here but I'm not sure how to fix that. Might I suggest you try this link?
http://projectgorgon.com/forum
I would like but honestly can't help but there are many people who know more about networks than I do. There was a problem with a patch during the last update and one of the players, forum name fingers and a really long name ingame, solved it within a short time. Maybe someone else can help you. So my suggestion would be to register an account on the forum and post it there.Not that I want the forum to have more registered users but it is the place you will most likely find a solution to whatever probelm you have. From my experiance there are some people who know a lot about that stuff.
edit: reminder that it is still an alpha and if you have a problem it is always good to make it known to the devs. Even if you wont like the game, it takes 5 min to help them make it work for everyone who might like it.
