Still not enough though to get me to buy the game. I've heard too many times, from devs and those who are enthusiastic about a game, how great it will be only to be let down.
Well, I'm not sure what you expect. Since there is no subscription fee, the risk is minimal. Even if you only get a couple of weeks enjoyment, you got your money's worth, compared to most single player games released nowadays. Everything about the PvE and the PvP suggests an evolution to the genre instead of the same re-hashed shit. Granted, there are going to be basics that all mmo's have... character building, skill trees, killing mobs, doing quests, etc. etc., but this is the first game I've seen where the approach is "to encourage cooperative play without forced grouping", and the design is not intrusive to a hard core soloer.
The only thing I can suggest is that you wait for the post-launch reviews and then decide. You won't be missing anything by avoiding launch. As a matter of fact, you'll probaby avoid the inevitable launch woes of their servers being overloaded.
Get your games from GOG DAMMIT!
