  I dont know who Ralph Koster is or why this announcement deserves the front page, but I have to say the art direction is surprisingly dull: there are plenty of indie games made with just free asset packs that have more personality than this…

  Just last week I was wishing that another MMO in development would consult with Raph because they desperately need his input, wondered what he was up to these days, and then bang, this.

  At the least I think he has a much higher chance of delivering than Garriot has done.

  Logo looks kind of Star Trek. So does the ?cat? creature. The early animated show I guess? Is Stars Reach a unique enough name though? I'm getting results with and without the apostrophe.

  I'm surprised the webpage and FAQ doesn't answer the single most obvious question: does this support player housing?
