Well yes - combat/pvp generally is the action in FPS-type games isn't it.

Oh how surprising, people nitpicking at "open world"!

The zones are 'open' and fairly large - you're free to go where you like in them. They're not some small arena-like map you'd in Quake or CS. It isn't lobbied either.

'Open' world/zones does not mean you have to have some huge world to explore with inevitably nothing much in it.

This is an action game, not Vanguard.

Resto Druid. I just.. can't. It doesn't feel right.

Just.. can't..!

These solo missions are damn tricky.

That Minecraft looks awesome, even if just to explore. Going to have to take a look at that!

Don't think anybody knows the answer to that yet, only had the first phase on the test servers so far AFAIK.

I've heard something about a more traditional MMO experience coming with phase 2. Open world, Missions etc.. Is that true?

There are 3(I think) different instanced zones that support 64 players; both pve maps with quests/missions and open pvp zones.

The instanced nature of the zones isn't a bad thing - there's going to be plenty of action everywhere and it would just be overcrowded/zergy if it had a higher player cap.

I have been on the fence ever since this game went live.  Everything I see makes me want to download it and play it.
The free trial is pulling my arm and i'm teetering on the edge.
Can anyone push me over and get me in game or yank me back and save me from wasting time?
I need to hear the ups and downs.

---

You should give it at try because...

It is FUN.

Could it be more simple? No!

Don't go expecting a full traditional MMO experience, though, at least not until the later phases of this patch.

Sadly I don't, but thanks for the tip!

Slowly but surely updating... damn my connection.

*sigh*

EDIT: Of course now I posted this it's working fine, disregard this unless it's still useful to you.

Getting this error when clicking reply to sender, happens every time.

damn you, it's people like you that actually kill the content and get your own stuff that make it hard for my character to make a living selling phat lewt to soloers.

I know what you mean, it used to be so easy to sell stuff being only one of three groups of people doing the content! Damn these people like me!

I tried getting in to it a few times over the years (I think the longest stint was about 2-3 months), but I just found it to slow.  Also when you have to compete with people who have been playing for years you will never catch up so your just wasting time.  You can't even explore that much either because someone is almost certainly going to kill you at a gate before you have chance to react, because they have nothing else to do (kinda says something about the "end-game" :P)
I wish I'd bothered with it right from the start then I may have stuck with it, but meh.  Eve caters for people who have been with it for a long time, not to new players.

Nice. You fit almost all of the common myths about EVE in to just two paragraphs.

Three cheers for NasherUK!

When I first heard about Cata the one thing that excited me was being able to finally play a druid and not be a silly cow.

Couldn't agree with you more :).

There was a $1 trial but it ended a while ago, there is supposed to be another one soon™.

- Warrior

- Exploring the new zones & lore.

- A huge stockpile of gold, potions, flasks, etc.

- Hyjal. I just love the lore associated with it.

This.

I have six (6) 21-day trial keys available!
