Sorry but I and alot of others who've been playing from release read this review and agreed that apart from a few inaccuracies (and I think the released in Europe thing is not the content to focus on) that generally we couldnt disagree with alot of his views.

There will always be inaccuracies, however in general alot of what he had to say was correct.

This review is misleading, outdated, inaccurate & totally out of scale compare to the other mmorpg reviews on the same site :
Ryzom = 5.6
AC2 = 8.3
.. what a joke ..

Generally, you can identify "paid for" reviews because they sound somewhat like tutorials: the reviewer describes in detail how you can perform some of the activities in the game. For example, a detailed tutorial on the stanzas and how to compose a basic "fun" action would have given it away.
This review, on the other hand, is just a review. He gives no "how to" tips, and only his opinion on every aspect of the game. And his opinion isn't that favorable. As for how accurate it is, I'm not playing so I don't really know. Sounds like other reviews I've read, though.
He's wrong in some aspects like release, if he played during the lag week then yes it would appear choppy. However alot of the content and reptitive action statements are true, without the contents of patch 2 the game is severely lacking.
