- Beta tested this game and never bought it at launch due to the fact that it wasn't finished. Looking around for something new to play after being disappointed by other games.. I stumbled back onto this and decided to see what all the fuss was about. It was a great decision to give it another chance. Sure there are still bugs here and there, but the world is immersive and engrossing- it's HUGE! Crafting is excellent, only comparable to SWG's crafting system. Classes and races are diverse and FUN! There is just so much content to explore in this world it's sometimes daunting, and that's really a great thing. Best of all, nothing is instanced, not even the dungeons, and let me say this.. there are TONS of dungeons, all of which are highly detailed and huge. The world itself is open and massive, and for the most part not walled off, meaning you can start in the middle of the continent and run in any direction and hit no zone dividing hills or the like. Even though the PVP system is not great (all but non-existant really), that's not what this game is meant for: this game is essentially meant for PvE. Mind you, this is coming from an avid PvPer in other MMOs. Bottom line: I have not had this much fun since the original EQ or SWG at launch. Give this game a try, for your own good!!

- This really is the only thing besides the orginal UO and EQ that has the depth nessesary to be truly enjoyed. Kudos to all the people who made it playable and for all those who haven't tried it recently, give it a shot!

- Above average graphics, poor character customization, horrible animantions, grind, bugs, grind, and more bugs. Found a plethora of broken quests, and while GMs were very helpful in helping me, this game still plays like it is in early beta. Takes a long time to level, caster mobs are overpowered, exp loss when you die is a pain in the ass, but add exp debt in as well ftl. If this game were f2p I could understand why people like it, but I can't see paying to play a game that has no future, and rewarding a team of incompetant devs.

- I am a returning player and I am more than happy with what they have done with this game. I plan on being around for a long long time.

- Wow how do I sum this up into a small review? This is like a brand new game. If it was released in this state it would have been unstoppable. The graphics are amazing, the music is BREATHTAKING, the community is the best of any MMO I have ever been a part of, the customer service is top notch. The only downfall is if you don't have a high end computer sometimes the hitching can be annoying, but it is so much better than it was. The hitching is very rare, at least for me. If you are looking for an open seamless world that you can explore and discover, this is for you. Not to mention, the game is just insanely fun and in-depth. If you had a bad start when this game was released, or have heard bad things, its time you give the game another try. The game can be picked up for so cheap now, you might as well take advantage of that price, because I can see it going up again with all the hype!

- For anyone who prefers depth and the journey over wam-bam-thank-u-mam and 3p1x destinations!

- It's still not perfect, but it's improved a lot since launch.
