GameSpy has slapped up a review on Artifact Entertainment's massively multiplayer online RPG, Horizons: Empire of Istaria. Here's a blurb:

Players have the ability to choose from nine races at character creation: humans, elves, gnomes, and dwarves. There are others, however, that are more fantastic, including half-giants, cat people, and dragons. Yes, you can play as a dragon, complete with a breath weapon. All player characters are called "gifted" for their ability to cheat death. You can die in combat, sure, but you'll be able to recall yourself from the last location you bound your soul to, much like EverQuest. You won't lose equipment or experience points upon death, but you'll receive temporary penalties to your attributes and skills.
