I didn't literally mean that it was going to be a first person shooter. ;0
What I meant was that it's closer to a shooter than a true MMO. This taken right from it's on FAQ about combat:
Even though Eternal Crusade is an MMO in a persistent open world, the combat plays out like a proper third-person shooter. You point where you want to shoot or strike and hitting your target is based on skill. There are no ability bars or auto-attack systems, and if you want to evade or block an incoming attack, you press a button to roll out of the way or hold down the guard button.
I might be old fashioned but a game where you use weapons and have no quests and no ability bars sounds more like a shooter than an mmo. Maybe I'm just splitting hairs here but it seems to be more of a shooter with rpg elements than an mmo with shooter elements.
Anyways, it's not like I'm not intrigued. I was following Dark Millenium before it went away. I've always like the Games Workshop universe in both 40k and Fantasy. I just don't know if I want to play Halo with Orcs ;0
