I didn't get as much play time as I wanted with the Betas due to work commitments but overall I am impressed. Due to NDA blah blah blah I won't go into detail, however anyone who says this is just a re skinned WoW obviously has never partook in any of the betas. It runs better, it's open world, it's much more in depth/immersive and it looks absolutely fantastic. I played WoW, WAR, Aion, TSW, RF Online, LOTRO, FFO, DDO and SWTOR. By all means tell me how this game is like them other than the fact that it's an MMO with crafting and you have item slots... $15/month is dirt. If you can't afford $15/month then how do you afford your internet? I guarantee you clowns who say it's too expensive spend more money clogging your already heavily loaded arteries with grease from fast food joints in a week! Don't be quick to judge because some WoW nerd can't create a blood elf paladin/death knight and tells you the game is ten shades of bad. Try it for yourself.
