Nothing really new in this interview, but I do think this may be the first MMO that will actually address the dreaded grind that I personally hate so much. The grind in this case really would'nt be if there are new speciies to find often enough, planets to explore, resources to discover and technologies, that quite frankly would make the 'grind' as it were not a grind, but something you would really enjoy doing. For this reason alone, I'm looking forward to playing this game.
Falin: I hear ya man and for the most part I would agree, but you would'nt have to hang with a lot of those idiots if you dont want to, half the game is going to be exploration, which will mostly be solo. As for those parts that are not, I would urge you to find some like minded ppl you would like to game with have them play with you, then it wouold'nt seem so bad. I'd be glad to volunteer to meet you in game if you wish. Since we seem to share similar thoughts in these areas.
