One of the best Group Oriented MMOs, A blast to play with friends.
The leveling system is probably the best in the market, every character can truly become unique thanks to skill points and abilities. So many options that your character alone might never see them all in its lifetime. The sad thing is that while the characters may preform differently, they saddly don't look much different. Customization in the game for the look of the characters is seriously lacking even when compared to older titles like EQ1. Thankfully there are many armor and weapon looks to make you look somewhat different, not everyone will be running around at lvl 2 with the same exact armor (coughEQ2cough).
The quests in the game are great aswell, they all seem different and their difficulty has a great range. Some are very short while others can last hours. It truly is a game for people with all different play styles. The combat system is great aswell thanks to its amazing interactivity, sure you can be lazy and press auto attack but be prepared to see your effectivness drop severly.
The main negative aspects of the game are really that it isn't built for grinders in mind. If all you aim for is being the top dog on the server then you will accomplish this fairly quickly. The games main attraction is its great stories for the adventures and just having a great time with your friends.
The game did not launch as smoothly as it could have been, while everything has been stable there are more then a handful of ingame bugs regarding quests and NPCs. Im sure this will get ironed out shortly but it is annoying. The UI could use some work aswell, unlike recent MMOs it isn't very customizable.
