MMORPG.com carries a story announcing the development of 2Moons, a free MMORPG to be published by Acclaim. The game is based on a Korean MMORPG, and designer David Perry will help adapt the game for the North American market. According to Shiny founder Perry, the game will "probably be the most violent MMO on the market". Some images can be found here.
"Can we make a game that would... introduce new people to MMOs so that they can have fun," Perry told MMORPG.com in our exclusive audio interview, "but that would also entertain and provide something new to people who are really hardcore." 2Moons is not for kids and Perry was very upfront to state that the game will carry an M rating. "Violence in games is just an issue if you're not being honest about the violence in your games," added Perry. "I'm doing my best to make this a violent game."

An audio interview with Perry can be found here.
