Unless an MMO is super-exciting to me I'm not going to drop full price on it, and combined with the monthly fees it's a genre that loves to drop to crazy low prices within a few months. I've also heard that the game is even more single-player than SWTOR is, since there's nothing like elites and only a couple dungeon-like areas where the "class-less" game ends up with everyone adopting the holy trinity anyway. To drive that point even further the game is littered with single-player-only quests, so even if you want to group up all the time the game won't let you.
Modern-day style RPGs as a concept sounds okay but in this case it looks like a means for the art team to be lazy as fuck about designing equipment (at least Resonance of Fate had the decency to hire a honest-to-goodness fashion designer for their clothes), so I remain disinterested every time I try to watch the game in action. Combat is also a pretty big thing for me and the general consensus seems to be that SW is kind of okay at best and always really floaty and loose.
I'm willing to give it a shot but I'm not paying more than $20 and there seems to be no reason for a monthly fee, so it's pretty far on my MMO backburner. Plus Guild Wars 2 comes out next month with no monthly fees. Sorry to be Debbie Downer all over this thread, but aside from having a couple of neat quests there just doesn't seem to be enough going on to justify its costs.

I was eyeing this because I like Funcom (really) and love the concept. But man, Guild Wars 2. Every other MMO should be scared as hell.

Free weekend starts a week from today. I'm downloading now and will definitely give this a whirl.
-
I'll try it because Ragnar Tornquist but there's almost no chance I'll stick around after the free weekend.

Was that an Oddworld Slig at 2:07?
-
The free weekend is underway if anyone else is interested.
edit: I like it. It's definitely an MMO, but I love the modern, elf free setting. We'll see how much I play it this weekend.

This is now on Steam. Danger abounds.

I played for a bit but wasn't interested in the end.
I love modern settings in RPGs so that's a plus. But even the intro started to annoy me. All sorts of ridiculous shit happens to your character in the first hour and it's all fully animated and well-voiced like a real gamey-game. Unfortunately, there's a huge disconnect when your mouthbreather barely even blinks in response. I don't expect vocal responses but there's nothing all all. Your character bounces from one insane monologue to another for no reason. Maybe I should have tried something other than the Dragon faction!
Once I finally started the real missions, my WoW fatigue set in. It's still a very tradional MMO at its core and I think I'm just burnt out on those.
Or maybe I resent it because of all those TLJ/Dreamfall references!

That makes it a lot more palatable, but still, it's tough to devote time to this in a world where GW2 exists.
