Sadly it looks like a low budget GW2.
Off Topic: Love that book/avatar.
On topic: Looked through the scans.
I.......can't say how I feel. I'm as torn as torn can be.
Somethings I saw and read made me very weary and even outright upset, others I kind of liked.
The biggest thing I took from it I guess is that though an MMO, I could still load it up and just wander around and explore at my leisure if I wanted to.
Basically it looked and sounded like Guild Wars with a better possibility for over world exploration.
It....could be worse.
