It's too bad they can't turn Mount & Blade into an MMO because it rocks hard. They've been steady with the updates for a long while now and I know a lot of people on their boards have been clamouring for some multiplayer action, so who knows.
There's two games I play right now, M&B being one of them. The other is
Dwarf Fortress which is a bit harder to get into. The link is to a graphical tileset which I enjoy more than the ascii.
