I saw it when it first came out, made a mental note to go and try it, soon forgot about it. Then a year or so later i remembered to try it so i did, didn't really "do the trick for me" It wasn't really entertaining. The gameplay is off balance to me. There isn't really a story line, its just try to find this place, go here next, stop here at the way kind of a thing.
The thing that i thought was really cool though was that you can choose any race you want, I normally play Guild Wars, and in that you can only be a human and there aren't too many custimization options either. Most people go for the same exact look.
Another minus is the subscription, when i was going to buy it i ws looking around thier web page and i had head you had to subscribe to it and i wanted to see if that was true. While i was looking it was as if they didn't want you to know about it and just deal with it when the first bill comes.
It seemed that you would really ahve to know what you are doing too. When i made my first character i diddn't know how to play or what to do next. I got so used to playing guild wars i didn't know how this one worked, everything is so backwards.
The level of diffucutly and work is at a higher level in WoW also. Lots of work, no play. You ahve to slave over the computer to level up once after... 14 hours of gameplay (witch some people do, and if you do, then take a break already!) And you have to get to level 60...err 70 now?
In Guild Wars everything is more laid back. It has a whole mini-world devoted to new players so you acn learn to play the game the way it was intended; the right way.
On a scale of 1 to 10 i would give it a 3
