I'd like to tell you all about my favourite MMORPG

I'm just going to take a few minutes to tell you all about my favourite MMORPG, Tribes 2.

You are a character fighting a war/sport game on worlds at the far edge of our galaxy. You need to join a guild (called a "clan" in Tribes) and compete in this game-wide competition called "the ladder".

The best thing about Tribes is it's revolutionary skill system: to improve a particular skill such as skiing or HO you need to spend a lot of time doing it, and then your character will level up.

There are evil beings at work in the Tribes world, and it's your job to enter their realms ("katabatic only servers") and fight against the evil monsters ("classic players") and finally triumph and free the Tribes lands from these menaces.

Anyway, you guys might want to take a look. Sure kicks the ass of EverQuest.

I wouldn't exactly call it an MMORPG. Its an FPS not an RPG.

There's a bug in your design:

No matter how much you kill the menaces, they keep coming back...
