Is the MMO fantasy genre finally ready to relax and take its long overdue vacation? It does seem to be the case, as nearly all of the highly anticipated titles <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/27/the-daily-grind-where-do-you-see-yourself-in-a-year-mmo-wise/">in the coming years</a> are exceptionally <em>not</em> high fantasy or even really general fantasy.
