Fresh Look at Horizons: Empire of Istaria

Warcry has published a "fresh look" at Horizons: Empire of Istaria, now that the MMORPG is over a year-and-a-half old. An excerpt to follow:
Truth be told, I went in completely prepared to hate the game. It was one I was eager to dislike. I do have to say right upfront that this is not a game that'll stand up toe to toe with the latest MMO flavor of the month. If you think Everquest 2 and World of Warcraft have lots of content ((content) meaning (a bunch of pseudo-fantasy gibberish to hide a killtask) in MMO Player Speak), then you're going to be absolutely miserable in Horizons, which comes from the old school, where (Kill 10 spiders and I'll pay you) was cutting edge. However, if you're sick of the usual garbage and want something a little more niche, there's a lot to love about Horizons.
