No travel fees or taxes or pesky customs officials looking through your bag for improvised explosive opportunities. That's how tours ought to be.

Over at Farlan Entertainment's Dark and Light MMORPG, they've decided to promote their game a little bit differently by offering the Ganareth Tour in addition to beta testing play. The Ganareth Tour basically acts as a stand-alone program that lets you sample different aspects of the game through single-player play. You can visit all the usual locales of the game, as well as try out the different modes of transportation and see the flora and fauna of the land.

Now, we haven't been able to download it ourselves, as it comes as a 1.3-Gigabyte download along with the actual MMO, but the whole aspect of getting an actual demo of an MMO out for single-person play is an intriguing way of getting people into the game. They haven't explicitly mentioned if you can actually kill things in the demo or if there's a time limit to the play like in casual games, so try it out for yourselves and let us know if it catches your fancy, and if the demo makes the big download all worthwhile.
