This sounds pretty unique for a MMO, well at least the theme, which compells me to want to play it, but if i have to mine something for hours at the beginning and not know wtf is going on, and feel all lonely *cough*EVEonline*cough*. Then i think i'll pass.

Don't worry, there's far more emphasis on NPCs here.
