I mostly played siege in MnB while online...lots and lots and lots of people just grab a 2H and horizontal swing to get kills all over the place. Half of the time there's a good fight that includes blocking and parrying
. I know there's duels and etc. and other modes that I'd say seem to have "real skill fights", but the fact that you can mindlessly do the above made me unhappy... This is just from 1 of the MPlayer prospectives. That said, it's still more skillful than a lot of things in terms of non-magic combat games. I thoroughly enjoy that it's neither a bunny hop nor a sprinting spam fest. If the game included those two things, I'd probably say meh to it even if it kept the directional offense and defense. I really don't think Xsyon (or most mmos) needs jumping at all >.<...
