They released an interview where they said that the quest line is going to be single player. It's literally the punchline in the jokes I've been making- every single player is going to save the world on his own time.

I want to play a MMORPG which isn't relentlessly grindy, doesn't demand constant tithes, and which most importantly has a story that revolves around the one single unique feature of MMO games- the fact that there's hundreds or thousands of other players all interacting together.
Don't waste time and money hiring voice actors and writers who have the sole function of boxing in the player's actions. Hire talented engineers who can make a functional server-client system that is flexible and powerful enough to actually take the load when you do sell more than twenty copies.
