It wasn’t until my third hour in the game portion of SyFy and Trion Worlds’ crossmedia project that it struck me — this is the quietest MMO launch ever.I’d run into a couple bugged quests, marvelled over the purposeful stupidity of enemies in the tutorial zone, and giggled at the ridiculous vehicle physics, but no one was laughing with me.
