played WoW for the last 15 years or so, wasn't quite sure if I have enough life in me for another MMO, but so far so good. Mind you, 50 hours /played is literally nothing compared to over 1500 days played in WoW, but I like where it's going. Strong story and you're not really forced to do anything if you don't fee like it, no gated grindy content, all feels very natural and fluid, and there;s SO MUCH story. Big thumbs down is for the soundtrack though, they make milions on this and cannot afford an orchestra and record all track using acoustic instruments.. instead, you have some 60 quid MIDI keyboard synthesized sound and a lot of ambience sounds, including footsteps and mount steps are cropped and compressed to smithereens - which really hurts the immersion. Other than that, the game is cool, the community is extremely friendly (unlike the toxic cesspit of elitists in WoW that smell worse than a dozen rotten eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar).

Edit: 400 hours later: This game is ruining my life. 10/10 lol !!

(the MIDI-synth in-game music tracks still suck though. At least we can buy a symphonic version of Eorzean Symphony on iTunes, tho it would do this game great justice to implement THAT into in-game files)

Edit: 2500 jours later, whatever I said before xD
