Been looking at this forum for quite a while now, and I don't think I've seen one thread on the actual game, how it plays, what it's (gameplay) problems are etc.. Don't care about P2w, don't care about queues or any of that, just want to know what the game is all about?

    Standard WoW like Hub questing while leveling, once you get around lvl 30 though the game becomes a pseudo sandbox and let's you do a lot of different things that haven't really been all together in the same game before.

    I'm kind of curious too.  Besides the server queue and land grab woes, how is life after level 30 and roughly how long does it take to get to 30 with casual game play such as 1-2 hours a day and maybe more on weekends?

    Agreed. I'm very curious to know what different features are coming together for the first time in one title, more stuff coming together than say SWG offered?

    I'd log in myself to see, but well with queues I doubt I'd have the time right now.

    Not to mention when I tried yesterday, all it did was launch the launcher splash screen on my desktop, after waiting forever for my task manager to come up,  it showed 100% disk usage which I've never seen anything do, even after ending the task the usage remained and I had to restart to get it to go away. A little skeptical about trying again, until their service calms down a bit.

    I read that lowering the size of your paging file alleviates that (if you have it set to a custom size).
