It's by far one of the most beautiful mmorpg's out on the market, the atmosphere is amazing and animations above all is spot on. I could easily sit down by a campfire and just "rp" for an hour just because of how entrancing the whole animations and environments are. That being said the combat is what it falls short on in my book, its not as fluent and responsive as for example world of warcraft witch for me as a pvp player is pretty important, I found the combat to be a bit boring and clunky.
However I will most likely pick it up just for the gaming experience when it comes to things beside combat, it's flawless in graphics, the environments are interesting, exploring is fun and crafting is quite good as well, hell who knows...I might even dip into the PvE of a game for once thanks to this title.
