I was planning on checking out the free 14 day thing but what is this I hear about a bad patch 1 or a patch 2 that has kept people from playing? It looks like an interesting game, but I don't want to try it at a bad time. What is the opinion of the veteran players?

Thanks.

It's been a very enjoyable experience, for me at least. There are some who want 'phat lewt', and that just isn't going to happen (well, possibly some unique items from events, but that possibility is still in the air). As for patch 1, there were some changes that were made that caught many people off-guard, however, they were and are being fixed.

Besides, it's free to test, out, come and play, see if you like it, then decide. As a warning though, as it stands right now, it's near impossible to get to the other races hamelands if you are a Zoraï, so if you want to do that, be a matis or fyros (or possibly even tryker, lots of them appearing recently).

LOL - I like to play by myself at times, the patch 1 was SO poor that in order to level and not incurr Death penaty one needs at least another to play it... =P Oh btw I was in Open Beta and also Preordered the game if that is any indiction....... Playing WoW now.. =P

This is simply not true. There are many animals that you can find that will give you decent xp if you want to solo. The difference now is that you have to try to kill different things in different areas and you have to stay within your level, before that wasn't the case.

Honestly it's a free trial. Why not try it and see for yourself if you like it or not. You have nothing to loose.

Anyways, thanks for the replies. I think I will give it a try at least. When are these steps to hotfix patch 1 supposed to be in place?

The coolest thing I see from the features is that there are no spawns so to speak and the massive raids. Does that actually work well?

The fixes are already in place. Some people, such as unregistered above you, will never be satisfied with anything, but since they arn't playing, then it's easy to ignore.

I havn't had a chance to participate in the raids that have happened yet, but more are likely to start occuring, and from what I've heard of those who were involved it was very well done and quite enjoyable.

I you have a stress management course or two under your belt, might be worth a shot. Go ahead in and look at it. It really is beautiful, that is not what drove us away. They made changes that for the most part made solo EXP so pitiful and the Accrued Death Penalty you have to overcome before you regain XP in levels again a bit too high.

As much as we are sore at NEVRAX and could not bear to even log in any longer, you need to see for yourself if you so desire. Some of the disgruntled out here actually want to come back, but we will not support the game under these imbalanced conditions.
