I bought it since it went subscription free( like Guildwars) and have been playing it a decent amount. It plays like WoW on a private server since there is almost never more than 50 people at a time on a server right now. While there isn't much grouping it is a lot of fun for me to take my time and immerse myself in the quests and whatnot. Without the PvP pressure to race through I can actually experience the writing and explore at my own pace. Everything is similar and familiar to WoW but in my opinion most of the changes are nice, if subtle. I'm going to post in here a bit to build some interest in what I truly believe to be an underated game. I just ran an easy contest here offering a free copy of the game to the winner and will do another if anyone can think of a good idea.

I have played a ranger to lvl 8 and enjoy his ranged combat and healing abilities which have made him the most survivable character IMO. Also this is the only char that I have spent money on from the shop which I used to buy a permanent mount(a badass giant cat/wolf hybrid) as opposed to renting one with ingame gold. I am raising skinning and leatherworking careers and love the complexity and fun of crafting.
Also raised a fighter to level 6 which has been fun since I am focusing on 2 handed weapons and mining/blacksmithing. Blacksmithing is very useful and profitable! I wonder if I should have focused on cooking instead though since a fighter NEEDs some way to heal.
Raised a healer to 6 but am frustrated by the low damage dealing to this point which is probably due to my failure to understand proper chains of spells/combat.
I have yet to turn on the mage properly.
There is a great trial for this game and if you want it just give me a good idea for a contest and we'll get it going!
