Fun:
Graphically the lanscapes are fantastic and char detail is very nice. Combat is fun with differnt attacking points and moveable defences. You actually have to think about how and where to attack each enemy. the fatalities are fun to watch and seem quite varied depending on weapon type. Leveling is quick in comparrsion to other similar games. I've played since early access start on 17th and yet to see a single L80 char, highest I've seen in mid 60's.
My experience so far has been good, I'm having a lot of fun. Something LOTR, Guildwars and Warcraft just did not do for me. First MMOG that has a lot of potential since Dark Ages Of Camelot IMHO.
Mr Hicks Spec guide is totally incorrect. I've tested on my home rig with single and dual Sli 8800GTS cards and with 2 Gb and 4 Gb ram, the Ram made no difference at all 2Gb is suffient ti run on High quality settings. Even with 2Gb and a single 8800GTS card it runs at 60+ fps and 30+ in the main cities.
I also play it on a Tosh X200-23g laptop with 3Gb Ram and dual M8600GTS cards. It runs fine on high except in the main city where fps is down to 15-30. Outside its 40+.
I'll be perfectly honest, there are plenty of bugs with quests and some zones crashing. But, it is early days and we have to give Funcom some time to fix them. They are constantly doing updates and monitoring the performance. I'm sure they will get there in the end.

Please, dismiss all bad opinions of this game. It's been over 2 years since it's launch and everything is better. And also, the expansion has been released: Which brings the beauty of Khitai to the game.
I've only been playing for two months, but I have encountered no problems that people have been saying were there, at launch. The levelling is steady, not too easy, and not too hard. Offline levelling has been introduced, which gives you one level-up to any of your characters above level 50, for each 4-days you have an active subscription. Quests are intriguing, the graphics are amazing (with added DX10 support), the music matches the game's style greatly, and hey, the community is the best.
I'm not going to go into a full review, as well, it doesn't need one! The game speaks for itself, just know that the game is the greatest. There's no more problems with this game. Well, there are, but they're not worth mentioning. But be warned, you'll need a good pc for this. I'm using a GTX275 graphics card, and I can handle it with about 80% stability on medium settings. Although, if you have, let's say.. A GTX 480 or ATI equivalent: You have no reason not to buy this game. It's fun all through!

Fun:
First of all I would like to say I enjoyed the gameplay and the feel of the game but overall I am dissapointed about the service and the quick release of an unfinished game.
After playing this game for 2 months and buying the Collectors Edition I feel I have wasted a lot of time and money.
The game is not yet complete and going through some major face lifts which I am sure will fix the game up. The problem overall I have is:
1. I spent £60.00 for the Collectors Edition and soon found out that all the extra features were applied to standard game buyers accounts.
2. I didn't get early access / mounts due to a mess up with Collectors Edition.
3. I spent for 6 months of gameplay and after 2 months the game is still in beta stages (I was a beta tester).
If you are interested in buying this game please wait a few more months as it is not yet complete.

So far so good. I am up to level 11. It's "WoW-like" but at the same time isn't, in a good way.
