I can't for the life of me remember a more recent MMORPG.
So, you're a person in an age of mechanical technology in a fantasy-world - ie, airships, generators, ect.
You're also an apprentice of said things, and due to something or other, a rift has opened, and gaps in reality have shown up around the world - these are blue, spectral beams. Crossing one results in a battle: while trying to get through, you are attacked by four-legged, roach like things; in order to damage them, you use "traps" - lava traps, vine traps, aqua traps, and mud traps - which can be upgraded.
I also remember it having quite varied quests - not just, "give x to y", or "kill x amount of y monster". I can't really remember, though. It's fuzzy.
It looked pretty good, and the battles were fast and rewarding enough to be quite fun.
