Been reading reviews, metacritic is handy. They all (bar PCzone, Though they've never been cracking) rate it as one of the best MMO's at launch they've tested. I obviously laughed, but after reading each review (Gamespy 4/5 Stars, Gamespot 8/10, PC Gamer UK 86%,etc), i found they complained about the same stuff as me. The gamespy bloke said he wrote it off after few hours like me and took him a week before it kicked in. Then said it was amazing when you figure out what you're doing.

Researched the economy. Spit of EvE to be honest which i researched alot, so i already know how to play it if i wanted to. Same principle: Supply and demand, different stock/prices at different ports, available to only certain nations,etc.

Doesn't change the heavy instancing (not quite as bad as D&D) and the complete lack of social tools. They will add these, im 90% sure of it, it's already pencilled in. But fact is right now when i'm playing it's not, and when it will be is like guessing what a woman wants for xmas.

For a launch game though, i haven't found a gamebreaker yet, so gotta say working as intended. Will keep ya posted.

Edit: Think this will be an EvE at launch, i see endless similarities, only it has more appeal for a character based player like me. Problem is, it took years for EvE to become what it is, and could be for this too, so it's a question of get in early or wait and see.
