I was surfing for MMO's I would want to try and came across M59. At first it seemed like a waste... but something about the one screenshot I saw took me in. I went to the website and here's what I got:
Pros:
~ No class system, system is based on strengthening the skills you use the most
~ An environment with full PvP. You can attack who you want when you want, but new players have a 'guardian angel' who protects them until they receive a grasp of the game. The company claims that it is the best PvP around, which is supported by the fact that not that many other MMO's work hard on balancing and 'perfecting' PvP.
~ A nice small, almost personal community. Only 3 (I think) servers with not as many people as most major MMO's where you see 200 people once and NEVER again after that ONE 10 minute session.
~ Of course EVERY MMO needs good communication. Mail, Server-wide comments, and personal messages as always.
Cons:
~ The 3D graphics aren't the best... well, they aren't that good at all. It was made in '96 with 7 updates afterward, and was originally based with the graphic engine similar to that of DOOM.
~ Obviously you most likely will get ambushed within your first 10 minutes of gameplay, that is, if they haven't perfectly worked out the newbie thing, which I assume they did with the guardian angel system.
~ As stated previously, a small community. You may not see those people again, but that could be better than seeing them everywhere.
~ $11/month for 2 characters on one server. THAT is a RIP OFF!!! On EverQuest Online Adventures I can pay the same amount for about 8+ characters on about 5 servers. But hey, they are a small company who needs the money for developing better things.
Here's the address if you wanna check it out:

If ANYONE has played it PLEASE state what you think, I am seriously considering to play this game.
