    Even in beta, this was more polished and stable than AoC.

    I hope this game does well. I've enjoyed the table top fantasy game (the miniatures version is just too pricey but they look nice) during the brief times I've played it.

    Though I'm already starting to hate the elitist player-base.

    I was in the preview weekend and from what Ive seen if the low end content is any indication this is going to be a very good game, likely good enough to steal me away from WoW. Im really looking forward to this.
