Every MMO has launched with bugs, problems, bad graphics and many issues. This is no exception and it will be improved as was every other online game has.
I bought it a couple days ago and I'm hooked! If you look at the game for what it is (being new) and has going for it, it's a great game. A lot to do and learn about.
People that come right into it and say it's bad are being a little to critical of something that has so much potential.
The Bad Things:
1: The server has issues with latency and stability. But its getting better with every patch.
2: The graphics seem a little outdated and combat is a little ugly right now, it is a work in progress.
3: It's still a little (a lot) buggy, issues that really can get frustrating, like mounts disappearing and quests not completing.
4: Lots of people complaining about the above topics, ALL DAY LONG!
5: $50 + $12/month after your free month. A little steep right now considering at times it feels like you're a beta tester.
The So-so things:
1: The story does lack a little bit and there can be a lot of reading if you do want to get into the story at all.
2: The difficulty of this game surprises me sometimes. It's not a pick up and play, hold your hand, hug-fest like ... other MMOs. It's will constantly slap you across the face with it's dog-eat-dog style.
3: The shooter aspect of the game leaves much to be desired, it's too simple and too difficult at the same time. Once server stability has been fixed, this will become better.
The Good:
1: It's a unique game with a lot of interesting fresh ideas.
2: It's a gritty survival of the fittest world, it's challenging in a fresh sort of way.
3: The crafting system is deep and has a lot of different things to do. You get a recipe, you get it's mats and you craft. The twist? You craft when you're in combat, you craft when you're traveling, you even craft when you are offline. A ton of different materials and many many different recipes/patterns.
4: There is a constant feeling of character progression, you always feel like everything you do makes an impact in your character.
5: A LOT of different skills, items, equipment, styles, and abilities to flesh out your character with.
6: No cookie cutter classes exist. This is one of the most interesting things about this game. You're not anything you don't want to be. You want to be a medic that carries a rocket launcher, then so be it. You can be whatever you want to be within the game's perimeters. You are not forced to be any one things, you can be a jack of all trades if you want. It's all up to you how you want to progress.
7: Whatever you do, you get experience. You don't like combat? You can be a crafter and still get experience, it's a little slower but you don't have much risks. You just want to explore? That's fine, get your horse and ride off into the sunset, you still get experience. Everything you do, you get experience. You're not forced to grind on mobs all day long to level.
8: It's a HUGE game, they claim that it would take someone on foot 12+ hours to walk from one corner of the map to the opposite corner.
This game isn't for everyone and you will learn if you like it or not after giving it some time. If you're curious, give it a couple weeks to work out some bugs and issues and by then they should have a trial available, give it a go then.
I think this game has the potential to be one of the most fulfilling and interesting games out there. It will require some love and attention from the developers and it will need some patience from it's players to become a truly great game. Every MMO has started out looking and operating like crap, some build better and faster than others, some never get out of it's rut. Hopefully this game gets gets the work it needs.

The bugs were so bad for me that i couldn't even play. The whole time i glitched a long. Nothing went "Smooth" when i moved. For example, just turning my character to face a different direction; instead of smoothly rotating, it froze then jumped to the point where i ended up facing. It was similar when running every few steps i would skip a step or 2. Very frustrating in combat. Outdated GFX and i couldn't even play it. Nope, they need about another year of beta testing before this SHOULD've been released.

Hmm, I don't get that at all, it runs pretty smooth for me.
Now that, is insane. Like, thats gotta be the biggest world in an MMO. Ill be sure to try it out if they get a trial.
..... :/
I didn't want your reviews, I wanted to know if anyone was playing it. Your posts fail.
