It's primarily noteworthy for stripping out the credits to the original authors and profiting from their work. Other than that, you've basically got a stock Merc with some snippet-level features tacked on. It's still got the four basic Merc classes, no races (like Merc), the same tired old stock combat system, etc - in this respect it's years behind most of the modern codebases. The features it "boasts" (such as a wilderness) can frequently be found as snippets, often with more options and greater flexibility.
However it does provide some interesting food for thought in respect to advertising. If a decent advertising budget can attract so many players to such a mediocre game, what could a high quality game achieve with the same sort of budget?
