Drakensang is a good game, well worth it.  In my view it has little to
do with an MMO except in the similarities that almost all fantasy-
based RPGs have with MMOs such as stat-based combat, character
classes, etc.  It compares fairly well to Wizardry 8 (which in my view
is one of the best RPGs of all time), similar games.
