after 4 hours of playing, i can say this game is awesome.
What other mmos have u played? What're your specs? is the game stable and bug-free? Hows the lag? Whats your opinion about the combat does it really degenerate into button mashing after a while?
after waiting for 3 years for this game, i am very happy with the product so far. i have found a couple small glitches, nothing serious. the controls were a little funky at first, but is pretty intuitive now. this game is not for kids.
pros:
very high system demands - this is a game for today and tomorrow, not 2003.
nothing is obviously fundamentally horribly wrong with the game at this point
huge game world
absolutely gorgeous graphics
audio and music are excellent
interface is very clean and simple, everything is both keyed and mouse clicky
not final fantasy style, much closer to fps shooter style
cons:
very high system demands - the blade cuts both ways
some server work and patching cuts down on availability
(honestly, both cons i mention are just teething pains for a new platform)
et cetera:
opteron 165 @ 2.7 GHz
Asus A8NSLI-32
2x1 GB DDR400
MSI 9600GT @ 700 MHz
ping is usually around 70. fps swings all over, 25 to 60, but always looks quite smooth
