PC.IGN.Com's Horizons Preview offers their thoughts on Artifact Entertainment's upcoming MMORPG after getting to check it out at the Game Developer's Conference. They describe gameplay, the emphasis on tactics during combat, the importance of tradespeople, and other factors that try to set the game apart from the crowd. Included are screenshots and quotes from Artifact's Steve Bowman and Steve Escalante, though these are maddeningly all attributed to "Steve" or "one of the Steve's."

Kinda funny, I thought that part of EQ was the lamest, stupidest thing about the game. I love ideas that make it more simple. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to walk into one thousand shops or other places to find a particular shop. It's not adventure, it's stupid. The first time could be called adventure, but unless you had a great memory, you can't remember where all the shops are in all the damned towns. The only thing that EQ really had going for it was that it was an incredible time sink, and it relied on the fact that you would make friends. Friends were the reason why you stayed. I know, I played until the high game. I made lots of high-end friends. Everyone had the same complaint, but they kept coming back to be with their friends.
