      Former Netscape employees started the Multiverse MMORPG platform that this and other games will be using.

          Keep in mind, Star Trek had three entire seasons as a base for its circulation. Firefly had 11 episodes from a single season and there is still this kind of interest. Kudos to Josh Whedon and where do I sign up?

            Well hopefully they can survive. The MMORPG world is an open market. I had liked the movie and the series. So I will be checking this game out.

                Its a pretty rich environment for an MMORPG. I was disappointed that the series was cut short, and I really enjoyed the movie. Might be fun to play.

                  Firefly rocks!!! Loved the series, loved the movie. Well, right up until when they killed off Wash. That was unnecessary to the story and I didn't care what happened after that...

                  Can't wait to play the game, tho!

                    Pretty cool. I haven't gotten into the hype of Firefly but look forward to the game.

                      Oh, my....hold...on...OHHhhhh!

                      Sorry, had a geekgasm there!

                      THe wierd thing was, I was just thinking yesterday, in my TOTALLY random, trying-hard-to-avoid-work fasion, how awesome a Firefly-based game would be. Never crossed my mind that someone would actually do it, much less make it an MMORPG.

                      My poor wife. >sigh

                          There was also hear-say of one more movie. "Um please" ?
