First off, it's a bit annoying that when you purchase the game, you don't even get a free month subscription. That bothered me a bit, but once I logged in I was pretty impressed at first glance.
The game has many features that are very appealing. The combat style is solid; dungeons are fun and challenging; nothing is handed to you (that's how I like my MMOs); good community of players; great auction system; housing is the best I have seen in an MMO.
The issues I'm having are the lack of abilities and class customization, PvP, and quests.
I can't get myself to log on just because quests are a complete grind, and PvP is incredibly boring. When I'm in a practice ground, it's a constant AoE button mash of the same 8 skills...
I'm really trying to give this game a real try because of my curiosity to experience 40-man raids again, but damn, they've made it a slow grind...
