My old Warhammer guild, Agony, is playing on Lucius server - Elf lands. So I endured long ques (canned up a whole batch of homemade catsup during the initial wait), extremely crowded zones (with really poor collisioning), waited in line to kill mobs, and found my keybindings were continually being reset for some reason. Still I managed to get a Shadow-player to 12. Think I'm going to go Outrider with her. The name is 'Cro'.
The class is fun. The combat is fun when my keys work. There is a lot I like about the game - I loved the cut scenes you got after completing some stuff, but could imagine during group-play those could be an issue. Travel was not bad - lots of options with the mounts the hang-gliders, boats etc. One should never get lost as there are numerous maps and arrows and directions signs. I always discover stuff when I get lost in games, so I'm not sure that's a good thing. The world seems small and scrunchy with little opportunity for exploration, but that might be cuz it's just so crowded yet. I participated in one large local raid event. There were like 5 full raids where there should have only been one at the most. The boss was dead and event over in about 35seconds time.
I didn't delve into crafting yet, as everything was just so crowded, but it seems almost sim like - cultivate a farm, grow food and animals, build structures, transport etc. From what I hear you really need to have your own land to grow plants and animals (requiring a patron account) without them getting stolen. I might yet put out for a months worth of premium.
I'll be playing for this week anyways.
