An upcoming RPG I'm mildly interested in called Two Words is being developed for the Xbox 360, and the PC. It isn't an MMO, but it has a lot of features I would like to see incorporated into the MMO genre. The combat sounds interesting, there is plenty to explore, and there are factions in the world you can join, fight, or betray. The developers are aiming for a world the player can shape, and frankly that is a lot easier to do with a single player game. It will be interesting to see if this game is a success, and if it might get some MMO developers thinking about new possibilities.
When people will pay others to play a game for them it might be a sign the game isn't all that fun.
