I think it has improved a lot since release. They added 3 new modules so far and 1 new class (the Hunter Ranger)
1 Update is 20v20 PVP for guilds (which I think they are changing soon because nobody really plays it).
The other 2 are Lv 60 Areas which offer stat rewards for completion.
The game is nothing groundbreaking and I always say that if you are looking for something innovative this probably won't be your thing, but it seems to be coming along nicely and I still play every day (pretty much)
As with so many of these games, it comes down to the community for me. I managed to stumble across a really fun guild and that goes a long way to making things enjoyable.
As I said in another thread, I don't think this game is the Pay 2 Win experience many people have pegged it as. Personally, I don't feel anything puts you at a competitive disadvantage other than an epic mount for PVP. You can spend a tenner buying one, or you can buy one using the in game currency. 1 takes you a few seconds and some hard earned cash, the other would take me about a week or so to farm. I played the game for 6 months before deciding I would buy a pack to add an Epic mount to each Character I rolled (along with numerous other bonuses). It cost me about £40, but I have been playing for almost a year now so I feel I have had good value for my money.
Personally, I really like the game.
This would probably be a good time to get on board if you are interested in PVP. They are about to overhaul the PVP system which will really annoy people like me who have been playing for months and building up gear. The new update will make all that gear redundant and suitable for PVE only. For somebody just starting however, that will give you a bit of time to level a character or 2 to figure out what you like, then be ready to play PVP like a demon when the new changes come into play.
If you get started and want a guild, hit me up on this thread and I will leave some details for you to contact me in-game. My guild is mostly North American with a couple of Germans thrown into the mix, so it would be good to add a few more people from my timezone
It's a good group and personally, it is what makes the experience worthwhile.
Similarly, if you want any advice then let me know. I currently have 4 Characters and between me and my partner we play every class in the game to a respectable level.
The most popular classes are the Hunter and the GWF but the only class to avoid right now is the Guardian fighter. They made it kinda redundant by making the GWF a more viable tank. Hunters are fun, but because they are the new character and everyone rolled one, their gear is insanely expensive right now. Worth considering if you are in 2 minds.
