I'm having fun with it. Probably not a WoW killer but enjoyable.

I enjoyed the preview, closed beta is too similar so it's hard to get invested until release but still enjoy it. My main draw is the crafting, resource gathering, commerce.. Any kind of economy combined with an over arching open scale PVP is all every MMORPG needs, it creates its own game.

Kinda makes me miss the actual decent lore between realms/factions like in Dark age of Camelot.. the factions in New World (Green/Orange/Purple) are very boring, no differences, just philosophical bullshit differences really, macho/science/religion.

That and the fucking cash shop.. As long as they never charge monthly I am fine with it though, And as long as they don't put that shit front and center like in every cash game. Also the twitch integration shit is annoying but indicative.

Is the game any fun? Looks like it could go either way

I played their last public-ish thing it was awesome, has skeletons but also felt suuuuper repeditive.
