Activision and Jolt Online Gaming sent out their first newsletter for Legends of Zork looking to expand their beta group and promising that more details about the game will be released in the next few days (thanks Kxmode). One thing they want to clarify right now is that the game will not be an MMORPG, as has been speculated:

Now, a word about LoZ (as we affectionately call it). I've been reading a lot of speculation about what kind of a game this will be and I really want to set expectations correctly. LoZ is a casual adventure game. We've designed it to be the kind of game that sneaks into your soul and steals about 20mins of your time each day. It's not an MMO (collective sigh of relief, I'd imagine). We genuinely think it's a worthy addition to the Zork universe but at the same time we know that some of you won't agree. You'll have the opportunity to try it out very soon though.
