No i mean it isnt just "another" mmo with the rest in the crowd? I used to love uo back in the day so im hoping this breaks the current mmo trend.
I have to pop out in a bit, but I managed to play for over an hour. So far I am enjoying it, im only level 8 but ive done a fair mix of things, ive grew my own mount,cut some trees down,seen some very big monsters (thankfully someone killed it already) and watched big boats sail past, while im in my own little row boat
Runs very smooth with all settings apart from vsync on very high. Game does look nice, nothing mind blowing but good enough. Playing a warrior type class with its usual standard skills like charge etc. Got a couple skill points to use, I could either have a secondary class (maybe defence) or use it to spend on my current skill tree.
Not interested in getting my own home, but I would like my own farm. By the time the game is officially released ill know where to get my own farm plot quickly

Ill probably only play till about level 20-30, just so I get a general idea about the game, and know where all the good farm plots are
Im sure that will be sorted and slowed down a bit. Besides I don't care what level people are. Did they enjoy racing to level 50? me I want to soak up the game and get the most out of it. I bet they haven't done much, have they touched crafting or even done any other zillion things to do in the game?
Edit: also look at other MMos wow for example im sure people got loads of max level builds and still do it again and again

bakes', in this instance that may not be a great idea. The game only kinda starts at 30 as that is when you start hitting the pvp areas. Great fun getting killed while doing quests or doing the killing. I've had some amazing mini battles in the pvp zones
agnes, The levelling slows down a fair bit around 30 too so it's not as fast as you may think. Though if you know what you are doing, you can still level quickly and compared to other mmos, I guess is still pretty fast.
Most importantly though, I honestly wouldn't worry about how fast/slow the levelling is as to be fair, it really doesn't matter. Like I say, once you hit the pvp zones lvl doesn't matter too much as you would generally be fighting people around your lvl anyway. That said, you do get the odd 50 killing lowbies but that is to be expected and people pretty much gang up when they do.

That said it seems creating a character isn't working at the moment. Every time you go to name a char it says deletion pending, try again after maintenance.

Fast levelling really kills an MMO for me. It doesn't do anything to make a game less "grindy". How "grindy" your game is entirely depends on how much else there is to enjoy. How much depth there is.
At the end of the day, what point is there in having levelling at all, if it's blink and you miss it quick to get to the top?
I remember EQ getting to 50 (max) when the game was new took many months. Personally I find that a good thing. Can't race to the top? No problem. Enjoy the lower level content instead.
