Had a blast. Encountered an annoying bug where I couldn't switch servers, so I had to keep deleting toons to try them out. Ended up playing a lancer to the cap and a warrior to 17. Spent the last hour or so of the test exploring and taking screen shots.
A little nervous to see all the empty zones, but I figure they'll fill up as en masse expands the test. Loving the game so far.
I am glad the OP likes the game. I myself do not like the game.
To easy, to themeparkish, to instanced! Just the same as any other MMO out.
The easy pve is to get people used to the combat mechanics, and ends at lvl 20, you can make it more challanging and fun my rounding up groups of mobs before then, as most atks are AOE.
As to instancing, there is one small dungeon at the end of the starter zone, and one full dungeon at lvl 20, with one very small timed instanced side quest per zone, that is far less than most mmos. Everything else is open world, where you spend 99% of the time. How long did you play TERA for? I feel that a lot of the negative views are by people who did not give this game a fare chance, all to keen to dismiss it as another WoW clone.

It really does get harder and more fun which is nice, imo. Lots will quit early though unfortunately.
