Or "PvP Diablo." Really, if Fury were considered an MMO, then Diablo probably should be as well. [...Sounds like Dungeon Runners except that game is PVE focused not PVP.

In fact, Dungeon Runners is essentially a 3-D Diablo with an in-game lobby interface! [...It’s kind of funny that people are finding this kind of a game less enjoyable. One would think a game that strips away all of the “less fun” stuff, grinding, guild drama, travel time, lvling, etc. would be more fun...] But you're talking about taking away the -entire- PvE experience, the good along with the bad.

I guess that would make it feel like you need something else to do... It’s kind of funny that people are finding this kind of a game less enjoyable.

The more instanced and fractioned you make the whole thing, the more you dilute the experience in my view. I have to agree as well.

I was talking with Brian "Pyschochild" Green who I'd asked to preview Fury for my site (he couldn't because their installer doesn't work on Win2k!). We were wondering, what exactly do you do when you're not playing PvP? Obviously, he comes from a hardcore PvP background and what he knows is the most staunch PvPers do something else in downtime. Sitting in a lobby? Not fun. There's a very loud minority calling out for this type of "MMO" and I don't know if they realize that there is no such thing as this type of MMO. I mean, it's called Counterstrike with persistent characters. Funny you should mention…
