Gamespot review was WAY of, the only real problem this game has now is that it is short but you can always go back to try a different way to play. I played an assassin type charector went back to try out mage then archer/warrior.

With the bugs fixed and the price dropped definatly get it. 

Actually I hopped onto EQ2 recently to try it out.. I found it to be very refreshing.. Granted it has no real pvp to speak of (that is why I play Guild Wars hehe).. I still found it to be much more challenging with way WAY better crafting system by far..

Top that off WoW is popular but that always does not make it the best, while most mmo's released in the time of WoW are just as polished and some do have more content.. Its a toss up really, WoW was great for me in the beginning but at the end game its a mindless grind fest.. People who claimed they quit because they just didn't have the time to raid shock me, you actually wanted all that time spamming a half dozen skills or less while listening to one person in the mic for hours, on mostly nonchallenging boring instances.. Hell some guilds have been perma banned from WoW becauase they exploited to cut corners in the raid instances JUST BECAUSE IT GO THAT BORING.
