The only MMO that had me excited, dammit

Yes, but just think, they're re-directing their efforts into the sure-to-be spectacular Star Trek On-Line.

Gods & Heroes really had me intrigued as well. Unfortunately they seemed to go with lots of high-end flash which was expensive. They could've dialed back the graphics and such and focused on gameplay. I mean, WoW has low-grade (by today's standards) and it sure doesn't dissuade players. Too much emphasis on the shiny methinks, and it's going to be harmful.

Oy Vey

I bought the preorder package for this game at Best Buy. Their policy is to only offer these for game that are due within 30 days. 30 DAYS! Did some serious lying occur here? I'm very pissed.
