You probably have never heard before about Wurm Online . Well, that's a very particular or "niche" MMORPG if you want. The people at F13 published a very interesting review about it.
"Truly, this is a laudable accomplishment from a team that's actually delivered on the promises on their website. Wurm deserves to get far more press, especially on certain "beardy" MMO sites, than it's gotten so far. While the game is too hardcore and time-consuming to hold me in the long-term, I am eager to see how it develops as it goes commercial."
