I've been playing all weekend. First of all, don't listen to the posts about the connection problems. Basically every new game experiences them at first. If you're not going to play because you couldn't get on for the first 30 minutes.. you're an idiot. I had to download the patch and couldn't get on until Saturday around 11AM, and I have experienced 0 connection problems since.
As far as the game play, I have no problem w/ the combat. It's a breath of fresh air as compared to most stuff you'll see nowadays. Questing is unique and is more like story telling than mindless grinding. I tried to do PVP, but there was so much lag it was basically unplayable. Once it gets fixed, I'm sure it will be sweet. The map is literally 10x the size of AV from WoW.
Edit: Also, leveling is slow as shit. All you EQ purists will love it.
