So apparently it is WoW in space.

I've been in the beta for the past 3 builds, but do to the NDA I can't really say much.
All I WILL say though... is I do not and CAN not agree with that article 100%. Yes there are issues, but every build Bioware has done fairly well in addressing some of those issues given the time between builds.
Suffice to say, in my opinion, by the time the game goes live, a hefty chunk of what that article says will be wrong. Even now, there is more than a bit of it that is wrong (due to the author playing a much earlier build), or just bad journalism used to provide negative hype to make the article appear more "genuine".
I've been in quite a few of the phases as well, and they don't ever address 'core' issues of the game. Specific things that this article talks about are things that are built into the core of this game and will not change from build to build.

It's always amusing to see these threads before a game comes out. Looking back at the ones around the time of WoW there are some gems such as, "The game only has about 6 months worth of content and then everyone will get bored and leave." A certain active troll should recognize his words.
This one will be a fun one to come back on years from now too.

Drawing influence from Age of Conan’s combat system (a far from perfect game) would have been far more rewarding
This scores a good laugh from me. "Password protected combos" as an "evolutionary" combat mechanism were a joke. Blocking (shields) were likewise absurd in the way they were implemented.
Personally, I created an autohotkey macro when I played the game that detected a change in the colors of the directional buttons and would press them as they were highlighted. This of course turned it into a hotkey system. Even then, movement while doing "combos" was really annoying, and the game gave rise to "preloading combos" where people would do the first few moves swinging at nothing then charge in with only the last move.
Total joke.

The board trolls track record of what is good and will have legs isn't exactly stellar. I will take a look for myself when it comes out.

I always get more enjoyment from the fanboys of the game in question who are basically waiting on a Miracle Build.

Well, my brother and nephew were in the weekend beta (3rd week total for my brother, 1st for my nephew) and they absolutely LOVE the game. I played 1 beta a while back and I liked it too.
I told my brother that people are calling it a Wow clone and he said that people saying that have not played the beta then because it is nothing like Wow.
Anyway, they cannot say enough good things about the game.

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

Proof that free advice is actually worth less than what you pay for it. You would actually have to pay me to take advice from a forum.
