Don't know much about this one but if graphics are any indication it is going to take another bite out of WoW's sub base.

With SWTOR out, this one in beta and GW2 about to go beta they must be sweating big time at Blizzard.

Been playing it off and on.

Can't seem to get myself any higher than 12, get bored of it because the only real way to level is grind quests.

I want to play it though, because the combat seems like it will be really good higher level. It can be a little clunky at times. For example I was playing a Berserker and dueled a Slayer I think it was. Every time I would try to use any of my attacks other than my basic swing he would just roll away, a skill I didn't have. Meanwhile I was caught usually stuck doing a followup swing and vulnerable for a couple seconds.

Repeat a bunch of times.

The aiming of abilities/swings is often off. If you swing then want to swing another direction after you have to wait to make sure you're actually facing that way or you'll just end up wasting time stuck in an animation swinging completely the wrong way.

Archer was better though, and probably all ranged/caster types will be.

I just wish there were other ways to level, like some sort of battlegrounds or exp from dueling etc. Grinding quests got old years ago.

Will likely play Tera while waiting for GW2 to come out

Everybody knows what GW2 will bring but what does Tera actually have to offer?

To me too it looks like a grindfest as well. I smell Aion-spirit ^^.

They are not. Have you ever played an MMO before?
