IGN Review (In Progress)

Starts out on a very positive note, even with the connection issues. Thankfully the reviewer played the beta.

Don't care about reviews for MMO's. I'd rather take regular players word for it (or follow community trends)

I don't think an MMO can be given a fair review because it takes so much time to get involved into all of the systems. It's not an 8 hour story driven experience that you put down once you see the end credits.

Reviews for MMOs are generally a bad idea. Launch-day reviews even more so. :/

I tend to agree. You really can't get a full picture of this genre until you play for awhile. You won't get a good handle on long time playability, endgame activities, how really noticeable grind elements are, etc. Sure you can review graphics, fun elements, connection issues, or things of that nature.

Fair and overall good review. We can talk all day about how much we don't care about reviews. But they are out there and they do impact sales, so dealwithit.jpg.
