The remainder of the description pretty much fits the MMO bill, as it mentions dungeon crawling, a multitude of weapons and spells, and real-time combat.

The game sounds like it's a bit on the mature side, too -- the listing mentions arterial spray, pools of blood and female demons "scantily clad, hovering in bondage-style outfits, half-open blouses, or the tightest of short-shorts." Hey, underworld, get with the times! Short-shorts haven't been cool since the Nixon administration.

This game has been out for well over a year and this is just being posted now?

Might it be that it's coming to retailers then? Some don't stock unrated games.

I don't believe it even hit retail.

It's not a retail game - it's a download free-to-play pay-for-perks type MMO. It's been in beta for a while but I guess it's opening to the public now...

It's been open to the public for months.

Yeah, I've been playing it since the game went public more than 1 year ago. That's why I'm wondering if this means it will be coming to retailers. I'd love to have a physical copy.
