Yes, I presume you mean Pirates of Realmspace? It was a fun concept but 
ultimately a horrible buggy mess. It was rushed through production and it 
shows everywhere. A terrible disappointment. I have the original box

Well they'll try ANY idea and attach "MMORPG" to it these days. It's the 
dot com bubble all over. So no worries, they'll dig out the concept 
eventually. And it'll flop, even if it ever gets actually programmed.
