there only 1 starting area/set of quests and they are extremely generic (all kill X). the game is a very uninspired generic mmo. prepare to be bored off your tits unless your like grinding.
The graphics are VERY high quality, but style is kiddy/asian. The combat is a HUGE improvement on most mmo's, but that isn't saying loads since most mmo's combat is complete balls.
the pvp (pvp server only atm) is completely meaningless . no real penalty/reward for pvp - just mindless ganking: mostly high levels 1 shotting lower levels who are questing.
playing the game just made me appreciate how drastically better gw2 will be.
PS: elin are proper messed up.
