the graphics and animation quality are worse than Morrowind
Nonsense, straight out of the box Morrowind is hideous by today's standards (of course mods are another story altogether, but even they couldn't really fix the crappy animations). The problem here is the standard MMO approach to the combat like has been said already; that disjointed, impactless active skill mashing is just shit. Some of the environments are better than others (that city shot at 0:19 is actually good), but overall the graphics would be more than adequate if the gameplay was solid. Guess they didn't have the balls to just copy Skyrim (as popamole as it is, it would've been a welcome change in an MMO environment).
I'd be surpised if they didn't try a subscription model early on - I'd REALLY be surprised if it actually works out for them.
