another one to add to the list of MMORPGs to keep an eye on is <a href='http://www.darkfallonline.com' target='_blank'>Darkfall</a>
It's VERY ambitious, why? amongst many of the things it boasts the most interesting of all is that it's real-time combat with a heavy emphasis on player skill. We're talking the kind of fighting you'd expect in an FPS =o Lots of people are highly sceptical but I'm sure we'll see what happens when the beta starts.
They're also boasting a host of other features from a huge gaming world to a completely player-oriented game that goes so far as player-built cities and laws and so on. Course, I've heard claims like that before so I'm kinda cautious but interested =3

Yah, I have always wanted to run a gaming website (look, you get early versions of alot of games, you get fre versions of alot of games, you get into MMORPG betas, etc etc etc <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

Oh, and is the beta app up? (there is a link but it is null <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
lol, I doubt lots of people would flock to a site just to hear me rant about stuff ^^;
I'm not sure about the beta, like you said the buttons seem a bit borked... I'll probably go check up on it when I manage to get bothered enough lol. If I ever made a game review site it'd probably be called 'Jaded Gamers' =3
