I have been in beta for 3 months now. It is pretty cool once you get past the 30gb download.... I like the story lines for the characters but it feels more like an epic single player game than an MMO. You can solo most all things but there are a lot of group/epic quests that require a party. Overall I enjoy it and looking to a time that I can keep my characters for longer than 6weeks. . New builds = start from scratch.
