I don’t think you had bad intentions but i don’t find off topic to be constructive. From your first post it sounds like you believe the ops joke is the topic.
This game is as the op said a niche game. Its a change of pace and plays differently then all the cookie cutter mmos we have been force fed over the past few years. It is kinda like a tribute to old games as it uses a lot of elements that have been abandoned by the third person cookie cutter generation. So if you miss old style games playing this game may give you a welcome sense of nostalgia, if your a younger player it is hard to explain and probably best if you just wait for a chance to test it for yourself.
