I haven't played much in Open, but I did play a bit in Closed. And I'm not going to write a wall of text on it, because I'm going to be writing up a whole feature on my first impressions prior to the game's launch, and I'm not fond of doing the work twice. Heck, I might even change my impressions.
That being said, this far? This game isn't the game I was hoping for.
It is much better.
The game feels huge, dwarfing, open and enjoyable, the sort of thing I can dive into and enjoy and not fret about when I don't yet know everything. I actually want to work on crafting here, and I usually don't even like crafting. I already love botany and mining.
My only complaints are the lack of a functional auction house and the fact that I have yet to run into any RPC members or form alliances. I feel stunningly lonely! I need to make some connections.
