Anyone else been following the New World MMO? It's had a pretty chaotic development, but the closed beta last month was more fun than I expected.

There was a 3-day open beta announcement to stress test the servers on Sept 9-12 via Steam. I'm definitely gonna jump in and mess around.

Personally, I really enjoyed the crafting system, and the no-target action based combat was also really fun. There are some things that need improvement of course (mob variety, and pvp faction balancing stood out for me during the closed beta), though I only leveled to the low 20s during the 2-week closed beta, so I don't have any experience in the top end content.

For those that have experienced the alpha or beta tests, what have been your impressions of the game? Anyone planning to play it at launch on sept 28th?
