In fact, we believe <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=21848">the exact sentence</a> was "designed to provide gamers with a casual MMO game they can play on their laptop, desktop or Apple iPhone (in school, work or on the bus)."<br /><br />It now appears that the game is no longer an MMO at all, but a "casual persistent online adventure."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/57582">ShackNews</a> has gotten the information straight from Jolt's CEO, Dylan Collins, that <em><a href="http://www.legendsofzork.com/">Legends of Zork</a></em> will be a casual adventure that will "sneak into your soul" and not an online MMO.  Looks like we're back to having daydreams about black screens and white text again.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/03/11/new-zork-game-no-longer-an-mmo/">New Zork game no longer an MMO</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 11 Mar 2009 11:00:00 EST.
