I would at least try the game out and give it a chance the problem is ive been burnt to many times plopping down money on a new game also not to mention its a new company with no past history at least that im aware of. Also dont have time to play 2 mmos at once, like it here to much.

Everyone on the team has launched at least one other MMO, and a lot of them have been playing since EQ at least... so there's a bit of "street cred", I suppose.
Beta has been quite fun so far. It has elements of WoW/Warhammer, sure, but it's got the feel of an older generation MMO in a lot of ways (if you can look past the generic UI). The Rifts and Invasions are a blast to play. There is a system in place for Public Grouping where you basically run up to the Rift/Invasion and click a button to join the others who are there fighting it (this is an optional system you can turn off on your own end or on the group's end so people can't join if you don't want them to). It works really well, I think. There are some paradigm differences from a game like EQ where it's really about you and your clique and getting to everything first. It's a lot more cooperative, and the rewards system is based on your effort.
It's not just about DPS either, healing is counted toward your total contribution as well, so you can get rewards as a pure healer sitting back and keeping everyone alive. It ends up being pretty fair from what I've experienced.
All in all, I'm enjoying the crap out of the game and can't wait until this weekend when Beta 6 opens.
