Just from the clip above I like what I hear. Literally everything sounds like it could be so much fun if it is done right. Especially the one giant server, I have friends in WoW that are all over on different servers and you can't do everything with them because of it. So you have to spend money to transfer your character to play with your friends, but then your leaving your other ones behind. I'm really liking this idea, makes guilds/raids/groups way easier to form.

I do worry slightly about all the customization they keep talking about. On paper it always sounds amazing, being able to do whatever you want and making your character unique. However from my experience there is always a "cookie-cutter" build that will min/max your character and if you want to do the final content in the game you need be along those lines. Its going to take a lot of programming and forethought to make sure everything is balanced and on par with each other. On the other hand though if you do that then thee choices you make are irrelevant since its all the same. But if they figure it out then I'm not gonna complain.

There is a lot this game is trying to do, and I really hope is succeeds in all of them. I will more than likely be giving it a shot when it finally comes out.

My biggest concern is the normal mmo balancing problems. Enough people will complain and things will constantly change. You're never truly playing how you want. You're playing on the whims of thousands of people.

I think I'll like wandering around, but it will likely leave me regretting playing.
