Firefly MMO

Okay, personally I never liked the idea of MMO. I think it's a big time waster, not to mention I just don't see the point to pretend to be someone online when I have a life in this thing called Real Life. Then I heard the news via Penny Arcade (I'm slow, I know) .

Seriosuly, that is very tempting. Especially if it's free. Heh. (I'm dead broke, see my previous post. :))

I wonder how it'd be set up though: will we be playing the characters? Or, more likely, other creature in the Firefly universe? And who/what would I be? Kaylee all the way? (Chick Geek == Chic Geek :D) Or a Kung Fu fighting companion? Or I can even be flying a ship myself? :)

Oh the possibility!

Now, here's the million dollar question: having said that the potential is there, will they make a good job of it? They say that Firefly can translate well into MMO, but we love the plot dammit! Yes the fact remains everyone has a story, and that translate well to MMO... right? I'm not too sure now actually. Will there be just a bunch of quests? Can we pick what back story we have? What's the deal?

Still, majorly excited about the news. I think I'll at least give it a try before I decided it's sucking up too much of my time. :)
