Any first thoughts?

I've had access to it since earlier beta, though I never really had much time to get into it - then decided I'd just burn myself out wading through bug reporting anyway. I'm enjoying the finished product though, despite some bugginess with the UI and a few broken quests. Launching with player housing, auction house, and commodities market is pretty awesome and I enjoy the MMO feel and the active combat.

I won't be tearing through content, but if anyone's playing or planning to, you can find me playing Dominion on Mikros. You can probably guess the character name.

I found the start game so tedious that I never got to experience the cool stuff at the end. made it to the 30's in beta weekends too.

Too cartoony and silly for me, despite it having a ton of cool mechanics.. I just can't get over that ludicrous aesthetic.

It's like the exact opposite for me. Love the aesthetic, but they don't do enough with it. The gameplay does absolutely nothing for me. It has more modern combat which could be decent, but the content they send you through mostly feels like it was created back in 2005.

Got into the final beta for it and uninstalled it after less playtime than it took to download and install.

Telling me I have to disable SLI at the system level to have a functional UI? And this is code you're committing to disk? After (from what I could see) MONTHS of bug reports?

Yeah, all those people who were saying this was a "WoW Killer" are going to eat Joffrey levels of pie.

Sometimes they have a chance.

This one? I think I'll bet on EQ making a massive comeback first. Seems like the better return for the money.

For all the UI bugs (and there are a lot of them), the underlying game is actually pretty fun. I haven't had this much fun with an MMO since WoW.

Yar! Same here.

And funny, when I think of cartoony and silly, I think of EC. I pretend the Cassians are all related to Mort.


And I run SLI without any issues....
