Played a good bit this weekend, and absolutely amazed at the detail and depth of the crafting system. It resembles some of what I saw in the beta of Archeage, but didn't plaster it behind a paywall. I'm very pleased to have gone ahead and paid my $30 (while slightly wishing I could have justified a pre-purchase for the bonuses), and also splurged a little (shhhh) and bought some pearls for pets while on sale, and a little held back for "just in case"
The scheduled maintenance falls uncomfortably right before my normal wakeup time, and well into my "should have been at work time", which is annoying as hell, but I guess someone has to miss play time. I just wish they'd bump it to ... say.. 11:00 AM EST, but I guess that would eat into too much EU play time. Oh well.
Fishing is sufficiently different from WoW that I enjoy the change, and I seriously like that they actually encourage an AFK play-style, for not only fishing, but for your workers to be productive. Still working out exactly how I want to make money, but I'm comfortably stalled at level 20 (stayed 19 for well over 12 hours), sorting out as much as I can.
Applied to two guilds, found the second much more to my liking, and was told to "hold on a couple of days", just in time to get an invite from the first I turned it down, as I think the second will be a better fit for my play-style, but now I have to wait for a response from the second.
Anyone else have any thoughts or insight?
