Very good game in every department. If you're a PC gamer, check out the youtube videos and try to get into beta. But this is going to be one of the PC Gems of 2011.

Its basically wow+warhammer but in the end lacking.

It is one of the post polished MMO to be recently released, however it is a more PVE centric game with only simple BG's to keep you interested. Its somewhat sale after you play.

Reasons?
-Simplistic world, it isnt very big it may seem big but thats because the walking speed is so god damn slow.
-PVE only, but the instances i've seen were very sad.. First instance was a S pathed instance in a open zone, it was sad to be honest.
-Lack of innovative quests, they are all the same they dont really change. Compaire this to anyone who played CATA will see a vast bore with the rift quest system vs wows new innovative system.
-20+ man only raids, outdated aged system..10 mans..I dont feel like working a second job for 20+man raids

Also, this game charges 15 bucks a mo/ not worth that its in lacking state, 6-8 bucks would be better. It might be a good filler game intill SW:TOR (150mil-300mil+ Dev costs) comes out with a robust MMO filled with content, polished gameplay.

OR GW2.

This game is not a gem; but its 'ight HOMIES'.

Best MMO I played is Vindictus...

Yep i agree with nearly everything you posted, was playing the beta last night while probably the most polished thing i've seen in beta. Its no match for WoW I could only see myself playing it for like a few days then jumping back on WoW.

It really is like Warhammer online the Polished version. I'll just wait for Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3. Maybe SWTOR... but SWTOR gameplay (see leakerz.net) is no where near the beast that is Guild Wars 2.

Pretty good game. Should do well in sales. Hopefully this one lasts a long time. The class system is probably the best part imo. Being able to damn near build your class the way you want it, is nice.

Kind of having fun from the get go and it has a really interesting choice of class system (you get 3 classes). I dont know how long the game will hold my attention but I probably dont think I will continue past the first month when the new world novelty wears off.
