The thing is that trying it out you'll mostly be experiencing Tortage, but is that a good representation of the game post-Tortage? I did the 7-day trial and made it out of Tortage and had a great time with it. But I'm just a bit uncertain about subscribing because I don't know what the real game will be like. And once I got into the area after Tortage it was pretty empty of players. I think I only ran across one other player. But by that time my 7 days were up.
I actually find the game opens up at 20 and is far, far better once you are out of Tortage! I even felt that the first time around. I don't play an MMO for a linear story driven solo player experience...I enjoyed the game much more once I was out exploring the Wild Lands, Khopshef and the like...so I guess it's down to your personal tastes.
I agree with you on this. I found Tortage to be the worst part of the game. Unfortunately we are the minority. Majority of players seem to prefer Tortage. Maybe it's because Tortage is much more detailed and polished than the rest of the world?
Most likely the voice overs allow a deeper sense of immersion into the game. I really enjoyed the revamp of Pyramid of the Ancients alot more the second time because of the added voice. SWROR will be 100% voice, that will be interesting.
