Sounds like fun.
Games with a dearth of plot tend to lose me fast, and one thing that always enchanted me about the MMO genre was the capability to run it like an oldschool tabletop D&D session, only without having to worry about the dice and the paper nonsense.
It's just, well, I've played a
lot of MMOs and non-MMO persistent worlds, and none of them have I managed to find a good RP community. Either they're
way too hardcore and total Stop Having Fun Guys in the RP sense, or they're just PvE munchkins trying to get a server with lower population.
