Let me start by saying that developers of fantasy MMORPGs have given us some of the best games out there right now. But aren’t you a little sick of hearing about a new one being announced each and every week?

So, let’s say you are sick of fantasy and want to try something different. What options do you have? Well, there’s a bevy of sci-fi MMOs coming out, they’re the new flavor right? Well… yes and no.

There’s a little genre of MMO out there that’s slowly but surely gathering steam, and there’s more potential for innovation in this than in all the Intellectual Properties major developers are clamoring all over themselves for. What genre am I talking about? Historical MMOs.
