So, Take Everquest, Diablo and SNES and combine them and I think you get Hero's Song.
Made by lots of ex-SOE employees, with a world story written by Patrick Rothfuss.
Homemade servers of up to 200 people.
Sounds like it might be a cool deal.
Here's the home page:

And the Indegogo site:

Beta 3 comes out at the end of October, they say.
Rothfuss, you say? Intriguing.
Dammit Rothfuss focus on your novel! I swear I'm gonna track Patrick down and go "Misery" on his ankles if he doesn't stop farting around and get Doors of Stone finished. :pms
But yeah... game sounds interesting.
I'm in for the basic package.
Seems funding isn't actually an issue for them.
I think the Indiegogo is just advertising.
But what ever.
