It's amazing how right UO got almost everything and how WRONG everyone trying to emulate UO gets everything...
They're not trying to emulate UO. They're trying to emulate EVE with a fantasy theme.
They've got great ideas, but the game needs a lot of meat around the bones before it can be called entertaining from the beginning. At the moment, grinding enough exp and gear to go PvP and expect to survive longer than 10 seconds takes a long time and it's boring as hell.
Add to that the fact they're wiping everything before the launch and... yeah. Players like me will wait until the launch, but a lot of people will keep playing and grinding. I bet a hefty amount of those players will quit playing at launch because they're not willing to grind again from zero.
