I've read some about the game, but there's a number of things I've not seen mentioned.  I'm hoping those that have played the beta, or the asian version can help fill me in.

- Is there a LFG function?  Does it work worth a flip?

- Is there a quest tracker?  How many can it hold?  Can you view all your quests history?

- How are guild functions?  Guild bank? other guild specific features?

- Is there an in game mail system?  Can you transfer items and/or money?

- What is the bazaar/auction house/whatever that you use to buy/sell goods to other players?  Does it require you to be online or can it be done while your offline?  Is it auction, buy now price, etc?

Thanks to anyone that can help answer!

Yes to quest tracker.  Holds ~30 total I think

Yes to mail system and account or character based warehouse storage

Yes there's an auction system for offline as well as private stores (online)

Ok, in order..

There is an LFG function, but I'm in a legion and honestly haven't used it.

Yes for the Quest Tracker, I believe the number is 12.  You can view your history and your journal is broken down by region.

You have a legion vault, however it is only located in the main city from what I have seen.  Legions also have ranks, not sure what other features you are looking for.

Yes for the mail system.  You can transfer items and money.  If you are looking to transfer items between characters, your vault has an "Account" section which is shared by all your characters.

You have a broker with a buy now price, no need to be online.  You can also set up a personal shop if you don't want to pay the broker comission, but you have to be online for it to be up.

Thats the info I have. Hopefully someone else can fill in the blanks as I'm still working on my first cup of coffee.

Quest Jurnal i believe can hold up to 30 and of those you can have 6 active at the side of the screen.

Some additional info on the Journal

You bring it up by pressing J or by clicking on the quest at side of screen.

Within the quest journal itslef is a description of what to do it also has a excellent hyperlinking system.

If your old school and want to play hardcore you can and explore to find the area or mob if you are of a newer generation and want to know where things are click the hyperlink and then locate and a waypoint will appear on screen

 Great Info thanks!

What about in game travel?  Early levels I'd imagine there's alot of running - thats pretty normal for the course.  By Mid levels, are you having to spend 5-10min to travel somewhere to do something?  

Is the broker accessible from only one location in the game, or multiple locations?  What about the personal shop?

Is crafting central to the game, somewhat useful, marginally useful, or fluff?

Is there zoning or zone lines?  Or "seemless world"?

From everything I've seen I'll be getting the game and playing it - at least for a few months.  I'm pretty non-PvP though, so we'll have to see how that works out.

- What about in game travel?

There are teleports and flightmasters, once you get your wings you can fly in some areas, and glide everywhere, you can buy scrolls to teleport to main keeps.

- Is the broker accessible from only one location in the game, or multiple locations?

All main keeps.

- What about the personal shop?

You can setup your shop almost anywhere.

- Is crafting central to the game, somewhat useful, marginally useful, or fluff?

Useful.

- Is there zoning or zone lines? Or "seemless world"?

Zones, early ones are pretty linear, to more get into the game the more free zones become.

Dont

You wont escape PvP totally, but there is also PvE content.

Think I read they were going to improve the LFG functions and chat in 1.5 :D

The beta is at 1.5 now.  If you used the function over the weekend, that's what it is until 1.6.

Other MMO designers should take note of this and implement it. An extremely useful feature.

This is not true, the Beta is 1.0 now and we wont see 1.5 until the release, and yes there will be a LFG system on patch 1.5

We won't see 1.5 in the US or Eu until launch.

Bah... said like 50 times before I posted this lol
