Been trying it. Not nearly as smooth as FFXIV. The story isn’t exactly dragging me in either. I’ll keep playing and see how it goes for a bit. I’m guessing the sales pitch is bound to happen pretty soon though. You can feel it.

Man, just played Lost Ark, it looks like it's one of those games that only gets fun after hitting max level and gearing up, I'm level 20 right now and gawd damn, it's boring as hell, even in the first dungeon everything just died so easily and you barely take damage. It managed to be more of a walk and talk to NPC simulator than FFXIV.
When you get to the first large-scale dungeon (iirc it's at like lv25) it'll be super cool. Way better than any of FF14's dungeons IMHO.Man, just played Lost Ark, it looks like it's one of those games that only gets fun after hitting max level and gearing up, I'm level 20 right now and gawd damn, it's boring as hell, even in the first dungeon everything just died so easily and you barely take damage.

Might give it another try later I suppose, but I don't know, can't say I am enjoying the combat and much less the story, I'll see if I can convince some friends to play with me I guess.
I just tried it for 111 minutes according to steam...it felt "bad" the entire time.
I didn't log in to XIV today because I wanted to play Lost Ark. In hindsight, I should have logged in to XIV today.
I been on starbound!
I played it for most of the evening. Definitely a lot better than many other f2p mmos out there. Combat is pretty fluid, and fun - I went sorceress. I'll probably keep on playing it for now. It passed that 2 hour mark with me. The goal oriented aspects have helped. Overall, a decent diversion from FFXIV.
Global chat is pretty cringe though, I had to switch to the system tab. Everytime I would glance over it was.. pretty bad.

Am I the only one who didnt find the ARR MSQ a complete snorefest? I thought it did fine introducing the world of Eorzea to the player. I hate how we devolved with such short attention spans where unless you see epic whooshy wooshy adrenaline pumping action 24/7 on your daily basis, its considered a bore in the everyday community. Its one of the reasons I couldnt get into the world of Lost Ark in its first few hours, so much weird "epic" set dressing nonsense thrown right into you like bruh can I just please start as just a random off the mill adventurer with the most basic of gear and skills and let me slowly get an understanding of your world please?
That being said though, Im in the minority here and yeah the first few hours of Lost Ark has much more "interesting" stuff going on but there's no sense of attachment to it imo.
