how many people from bay12 are actively playing this?
There were 10-15 of us for a while, but people started dropping off. When I stopped it was down to about 3 people and I was only logging in once a week.
And what about the gameplay?
It's adequete. Similar to neverwinter nights, but with a first person view. The mouse control is a little strange, but it's playable. Mostly you do instanced quests over and over, but there are a couple of non-persistent "wilderness" areas.
I left with the feeling that it was a single player game you could have some friends in. It doesn't feel like a MMORPG.
How is the combat
It's very simple. Lots of clicking, and there isn't a lot of fine control. You just kind of wade in and click a bunch and hope for the best. Abilities all have huge cooldowns, and you won't use them very often unless you're a melee type in which case you basically just press the same one or two keys every 5-10 seconds.
There's no real tanking/dps/healing dynamic. Role variety is largely optional, at least for everything I saw up to level 6 (out of 20.)
/story/
Unmemorable.
crafting
Allegedly there is a crafting system. I never saw it myself, but from what I gather it mostly involved finding random drops during quests and then doing quests to turn those random drops into items.
And more important is it still based on microtransactions, which you have to
use if you don't want to be stuck on low-level-content?
There is some buyable content, but it's relatively minor. The game is totally playable without paying for anything.
