Adventurequest Worlds by Artix Entertainment. It's decent, but I always felt they rush development of thier games. They are what could be called professional amatures. They make enough money to build thier games full time, which is great, but they have the most unprofessional system for production I have ever seen. It is actually a small miracle they have never got sued for all the parodies and refrences they make to alot of things.
As for the game itself, it is decent, but not quite as impressive as it could be. The art is toned down from the quality seen in thier other games, as to avoid hellish lag with many users on at once. That is not to say that it is bad, but it is far more cartoony and simple that the magnificent visuals you get in the original Adventurequest, or Dragon Fable. The gameplay is simmaler to a real time Dragonfable battle system, but much much simpler with fewer skills for all. They are constanly adding new fuctionality, and it is constantly shaping up to be a better game, with the same quirky quality you get from thier other games, but has a long way to go to live up to the story telling in AQ or DF, as well as the tactical feeling of combat in both.
