Two similar games you didn't mention are Uncharted Waters Online and PotBS. Even though you noted Atlantica Online, in your situation it's a game to try also. Here's my reasoning. I'm also waiting for Old Republic to launch and done with the curr…
Sorry to see ya go, but we've all gotta move to greener pastuers. Keep up the writing and thx again for the articles. You brought a great perspective to the 3-ring circus of gaming.
