Oh man, I didn't know it opened so recently. I must have gotten terribly lucky when i stumbled over it a few days ago, assuming it's been out for at least a bit more!
My roommate and I have been messing around with the normal "no-pay" accounts, and it's been entertaining us when we have free time up here at the U. I run a mac, and he runs a PC. I still claim that it's easier on a PC, but it's not like I'm complaining. Just that my darn dock always gets in the way, since I'm not allowed to full screen 'less I pay.
It's really fun, that it is...but my, it's honestly just a pure tease if you don't bother to pay for it. Leveling up is twice as hard, and at a point, you can only learn so many skills when you go so far.
But i won't lie, we still like it substantially. Although it is rather glitchy. For example, I remember when i was boarding my ship, rather than the ship loading, my character just fell straight into the ocean. Heh, quite a pain.
If we weren't such college students, we might actually bother to purchase it for a month and have some fun with it.
