I got a beta key in a giveaway and gave it a shot, seemed pretty intense and I've only played a little bit so far.
Here is another beta testers comment on reddit from earlier in beta, pop seems to be up since then. Summed it up pretty good lol:
"I'm a beta tester there right now. I will give my experience so far. I'll try to be as unbiased about it as possible, and you can take from it what you will. I started playing there, and I was immediately overwhelmed by all the options put in front of me. By about level 15 or so, I had mostly gotten over that, and I knew what kind of build I wanted to aim for. By level 18, I had yet to see another player at all, which I was actually kind of happy for. I was seeing messages pop up all the time about players killing each other. (World PvP kills are announced in global chat.) In my leveling, I learned a few things. Firstly, you drop your gear when you die. And not just in PvP, but in PvE as well. This can include things you are wearing, such as armor and weapons, as well as items in your bags, like potions and even quest items. Secondly, respeccing is fairly expensive, so you better not fuck it up. Thirdly, it seemed like a normal WoW experience, except for the fact that you could build your own class as you went. I was personally starting to get a bit bored with how things were going. This is when I came across my first payer. He decided to attack me while I was fighting something, however I was able to escape. He tracked me down and finally killed me, taking roughly half of my gear and sold it. When I went out to go finish my quest, he followed me and killed me again, leaving me with literally only a pair of pants. At this point I wasn't sure what to do, as I couldn't even kill the green enemies I needed for my quest. I quit and attempted to reroll a new character. I got to level 5 and was immediately ganked by someone as soon as I left the starting area. This has been my experience in the beta so far. Now, I am not saying that any of this was bad or good. All I can say is that it was... hardcore. If that's not your thing, don't play here."
Anyway, just puttin it out there because to me a open world pvp server with item loot and ability to customize your class running on the wow engine seemed interesting. I like that you have to play the game in a new way.
It's not a total free for all on skills or talents, they still come with tiers and requirements.
I started out with mage armor at lvl 2, a druid hot at lvl 4, picked up stealth to dodge higher lvl pvp at 6 before leavin the noobie yard and entering hostile turf. Skipped level 8 to pick up two spells accessible at lvl 10, soul drain and void walker pet, thought being that if I get jumped at least my pet will have the mob and I can just kind of ride the pet to be ready for pvp at all times because losing 8 items at lvl 10 is gonna be a set back lol
It's def gonna see some tuning but for right now, its a pvp item loot server with the potential to build some OP shit and grief noobs.
hope this helped
