I am not going to buy until I try. 

That is so weird to me.  I will spend more on my seafood dinner tomorrow than on a month of this game... but I would never demand to sample the stone crab first.  I don't get this mentality of gamers.  It is a few bucks.  If you play it for a single evening and don't like it, it is still less than going out for dinner and a show. 

I guess I am just living in a different world...

I think people write this game off to easy without giving it at least some credit. Granted the instancing is a pain for some people i actually prefer it i do wish the instances held a little bit more people however i find it kind of nice that if you run into a bunch of ***hats you can just change instance and continue on your way. Also, i think a lot of people make the zones sounds smaller then they are, to run across a zone takes well over 5 minutes so its not like your are zoning every 5 minutes and zoning really does not take that long. It really only takes me about 10 seconds to zone in if it takes you longer i suggest getting a bit better computer because this game is quite intensive.

I'm almost 100% positive that EQ2 used the same type of model. Of course, EQ2 (when I played) was so barren that you may only see 2 'instances' of that zone open at once.

So many people are quick to jump on the instanced idea, but the game couldn't handle it without it split into zones. There are still tons of players running around, were it all 1 big zone the lag and even just finishing quests would be a pain.

The game is well worth checking out.

Read very carefully...cause in order to play and use that 30 free days you have to use a timecard *60days prepaid or a CC to even register to play.

Don't know about the playcard but with a credit card you can cancel account at the end of the free 30 days.

Bought it today.  Haven't got into the game unfortunately.  spent an hour on the patch and I'm at 17.7/612 mb

Hopefully by next week I'll get to play it.

I would say  YES.

Am at lvl 30 ingame atm, and working hard to get to lvl 40 so i can start crafting.
