This would be a decent to good single player experience, but I find it hard to justify charging $15 a month for this. It brings nothing new to the table in the way of a MMO. The game was touted as being revolutionary in the way of next gen MMO's, but there's nothing in this game that isn't already in all the other MMO's out there. The combat system is a rip from Neocron/SWG's NGE, the new way creatures spawn is just.....well spawning, except instead of materializing out of no where, a drop ship swoops in and well causes them to ....materialize out of no where.
Crafting is a joke, itemization is horrible, the enemy AI that was highly touted is nothing to get excited about. Over all this is just another over hyped MMO that turns out to be nothing more than what is already out there. Again, maybe if it were a single player game, it would be serviceable, but as an MMO there's no justifying paying a monthly fee for it.
