During GDC, we had the opportunity to check out City of Steam, a steampunk based MMO on the rise in many folk's mind. We have a full report of our time with City of Steam that you won't want to miss. Read on before heading to the comments.
City of Steam offers ten races for players to choose from, everything from humans (with lots of factions), orcs, goblins, and even elves. There is a lot of customization in the character creation phase and players will enjoy some of the choices. We created a steamed out orc for the demo. Getting into the game and starting quickly is extremely important to Mechanist Games: we started up very quickly and were able to move around easily. The gameplay had flow to it and character movement was smooth.

I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
If you are looking at this game then you should also be looking at Snail Games's and Mental Games joint venture Black Gold.

F2P may be the way of the future, but ya know they dont make them like they used to
Proper Grammer & spelling are extra, corrections will be LOL at.
I played the alpha and closed beta, and it's been fun I'm really impressed with what the Unity engine can do for a browser game. I am also steampunk, and while the devs all call this more of industrial punk, it does tend toward steam in a lot of ways. It's a good mix.
SavageHorizon, thank you for the link. Black Gold looks interesting, I'll be reading more about that today
Nice, thanks for that. They have a cool Dwarven race!

Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.
