Been playing the early access for the last couple of days and while it still has a few bugs (nothing major in the slightest) it's pretty damn good so far. I can't wait to see the huge guild cities etc at top level

It's quality. If you're comparing it to wow you'll find the UI a bit lacking but once you get used to it you can see they've taken a lot out of wow and it's addons and incorporated them all into the game. There's weird things missing like no 'follow' mode for parties etc but i'm sure that's easy enough for them to add in a patch. The combat is far more involved than WoW's ... there's no auto shoot you have to attack properly in directions and can block properly so level and gear means not a lot if the other person sucks. Questing is also far better so far, it feels more like KOTOR in that respect. The areas are MASSIVE.. I've been to one town that resembles the white town built into the cliffs in the LOTR films. That one town is probably the size of 3 of WoWs main towns put together. I can see world pvp being good not just because of the 'skill' involved but also because you can gank everyone and anyone There's no factions like horde / alliance so... kill kill kill Add to that full day and night cycles in which you can hide in the shadows at night and so far i'm loving it

I'm pretty impressed by it. Midnight has covered most of it. I think at the moment you have to bare in mind that it's just been released (I don't think it was quite ready for that though) and it is going to improve over time. It certainly looks pretty, and there's some really nice detail in the armor and I love the metallic reflections on things. Looking forward to getting that guild city later on today when others in the guild hit 40. I'm only 19 and thank god I'm out of Tortage!

I don't roleplay much. But from my experience with wow servers anyway, you get a lot less annoying kids on RP servers. Also helps with the whole gameplay experience when there's not people running around called LOLCATZ or something.

OMFG I ordered my copy from Play.com on the 8th January this year and on the 20th of this month my order magically changed to say I'd ordered it on the 20th. I rang them up as soon as I got the e-mail and was told it would be ok. I ring them today as there's no game and they tell me it was ordered late on the 20th so I won't get the ingame items and that it must have messed up somehow... SO GAY. Now I won't get the game for £17 like I did back then either....g rrrrr.

Same thing's happened to me Grant, was expecting it on the 20th (my 21st birthday) but it turns out they never recieved my order, had to re-order today at the new price.

Oh well, still raiding on my tankadin in WoW but this will be something to play on the offdays.

I have never had a single issue with play, however gameplay is faster in terms of delivery for me.

It turns out that the free mount is locked to the early access code they e-mail you. I still got the mount using that code, and the bag and drinking cape. You technically could have ordered like 10 copies of the game.. got the e-mail and then cancelled the game order and sold on the free mounts for monies. Anyway.. got me a copy from Woolworths and carried on playing. Play never usually mess up... first time for me ever.

Nope.. get's awesome. My guild have just built their foundations for the guild city so we're grinding mats for more buildings now. I'm level 46 and love the mounts, although I'm trying to get the horse mount so I can get around faster. PVP is rocking more now with more combo's and attack directions too... I have 5 now.
