It was definitely a little rough for the first half of the weekend, but things got way smoother for the last half. I mostly stuck to PvE and thought it was great for this stage of development. As a long time player of more traditional MMO's, I felt lost and confused for the first 6 - 8 levels, but quickly realized that walking around doing "heart quests" and jumping into events is way more fun than sitting around for 20 minutes LFG.
I also loved the fact that you don't have to rely on the holy trinity to make a group. I just walked around and sort of teamed up with other players. I was really worried that not requiring tanks or healers would end up in everyone playing the same sort of vanilla dps class, but I didn't actually find that to be true at all.
I am really impressed with how this game is taking shape and can't wait to play the final product. People in game were talking a June release date. Is that just rumor?
