Ooh, 'Dance Online'
This, however, lacks Horse grooming MMOs, I am disappointed and believe the application of an SPNG is needed to quell the source until he can provide us with more Equestrian based linkage.

Yes it is. Sony released the source to an earlier* build of the game for free.
The people above are re-writing it, re-patching, re-building to make it more glorious than ever.
*Very old, like, the new team have JUST readded all the vehicle code.

Yup for at least 2 years it was an awesome game, then it turned into Grindwars: the Jedi's return in vast numbers.

Moar info: apparently it was the code from Patch 13 (apparently dated: 10/Feb/05)
http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Publish_13_No ... ebruary_05
So, apparently it's got space based stuff as well, not bad.
And yes, I played the demo on a free trial (20 days I think), I ended up playing about 4-5 trials as I loved it.
Just a shame at the time I had no method of paying for it as they would only accept credit cards and a select debit card or two.

I don't think
Massively Multiplayer applies to Beef but you probably knew that.

Nor the RPG bit. Now, calling beef an MMOFPS isn't that far of the mark, as planetside is an MMOFPS and you could have battles with as few as 20 people in that, but it's really more a simple multiplayer games with online access than an MMOFPS
