Im really enjoying this game and will most likely purchase it on launch.  It nails down a lot of the intangibles: settings,motion captured movements,emotes,sound effects,music,lighting,architecture,costume design. 

Crafting/Gathering is nice.  Trading/Selling is social and personal. The combat is thought provoking and entertaining, not hardcore, but who knows, maybe end game gets that way. The graphics are beautiful.

The overall feel of this game is definitely a place i can see myself calling home for a while.

Cheers, SE, I look forward to seeing everything you have to offer in this game.

    Meh I'd prefer an ah having to check theu possibly hundreds of player shops for a specific item is not my sense of fun.

    "An MMORPG could be completely diffirent from WoW. Just look at games like Dofus, Wizard101 or EVE. But as it is, most of the Western MMOs are trying to succeed by out-WoWing WoW. It's like an army of 10 sports games made about same sports, and barely none about other sports. WoW clone is an accurate description of those games, it manages to convey much information with only two words."

    Rift: World of Warcraft clone #9321 Nothing special to see here move along.

    Thats fine. Im looking forward to word of mouth and travelling to specific crafter's stands in different towns.  Having my favorites and getting visits from players that have heard i have quality items.

    I would prefer an AH for sure.  I love the overall "feel" of the game though.  I also like the crafting and hobby type skills ie fishing and mining.  Gives me something to do besides just killing stuff.  If they add regular expansions like they did in FFXI I'll prolly be playing this game for a while.

    i'm going to hold off on the game personally. 

    Although there are cool aspects of the game I like, I just feel like the game in general is a bit on the slow side. Mind you I haven't played in any groups or done any instances. 

    I'm thinking a few months down the line the game will be a cleaner version, but at this moment it feels more like work than fun.

    It might not be fun for you, but it does actually create a player driven market system rather than a gold farmer market driven system as well as making trader an actually profession.
