[FONT="]I have been playing this game for a bit as well. My first impressions are very mixed.

The good
It looks very good and has a good atmosphere.
You can play all classes, so in theory you can be all you want and change if needed and have the time to level the specific class (you have a physical level and class level)
The story starts out pretty interesting.

The less good
You get a quest which after some sub quests just stops... Then good luck finding out all you can do.
As mentioned above you just get thrown in there without a decent manual and need to figure out everything yourself. (took me 30 min before i understood how fishing worked and where to equip the lure)
You get repeatable levequest, which reset every 24 hours. But there is not that much variation in those.

The very annoying.
Most of these are to attribute to it being a new game, but some of them should not have been in the retail version.
If you alt tab you crash.
IF you alt f4 out due to lag you get a black screen. At the end you needed to log in in windowed mode, close properly and then full screen worked again.
If you crash when you are on a levequest, the leave quest is failed and the 24 hour timer starts (plain stupid, especially since you are so dependent on those levequests)
control setup. It seems setup for a gamepad instead of a keyboard/mouse combo

Conclusion: (from my side ofcourse)
The game has a lot of potential, but to me it seems it needed another 6 months in development to be playable with decent tutorials.
Maybe this will change the comming month, but i doubt it.
