For me it's a game I will be playing a lot. I played in Alpha and Beta and I've had a blast and can't wait for the headstart! Even asked our local gaming lounge if they could download AA on release day so we can try get more people in our town to play (mainly for those all nighter events so I don't have to drag my own PC down and back hyuk hyuk).
But I've really enjoyed myself. I might not have if I hadn't been playing with my friends in beta and found a few cool people on Alpha. Just grouping up with people, going on adventures, burning your labor effectively as a team, it's been really fun cx I did get worried that I'd be bored by release, but I've made a few characters since starting and had so much fun and different experiences on each one. Even if there are other games out there which will provide better experiences to people, for me this MMO has just felt fun and easy to get into. There's not been a major grind to cap and it's just easy to jump right in. Level 10-25 is where you can just go off and do your own thing (I think the level 1-20 quests are like your tutorial, which is kind of needed in this game. People who skip the vocational quest dialog and then questioning everything saying they never explain how to do anything makes me chuckle at times xP ) All in all though, I'd say it's worth playing if you've got nothing to play right now or are waiting for something else, especially since it's f2p. People seem to be whining about f2p, but in all honesty, aside from slow labor regen and not being able to own land, it's a pretty solid with the content at f2p. I mean, a couple of my friends were more interested in combat anyway, so I let them use my land, got them to burn their labor when they had the chance and they just got on with it. Let the us patrons use our labor cx It is a pretty party/guild orientated game though o:
To be honest, I'm looking forward to capping my main and changing my class type to something that has no attack and just defense/buffs to become a sexy metalic meat shield in PVE and trying to figure out how to make it work in PVP (It's my first time being a tank in an mmo, but I've been having fun! I ran out of time to try my all defensive build though o smile . I'll also be making an alt character and finding some other players to form a musical group where we perform our songs in theatres and ships around the world, running through raids cheering our fans on with our songcraft~ <3
Tl;dr: It's fun for me, try it out when it releases on the 16th. If you're waiting for another MMO, you can still try this out and it might be something to play whilst killing some time!
