It's unfortunate we couldn't really give better feedback on this topic before the new openings arrived. They weren't revealed to us until it was already too late. I wish this would have had more time spent on it in ARR because hooking your audience is a big hurdle that I'm feeling the game is going to struggle with now. Legacy players will at least be able to recall these 1.0 openings, but new players will practically know nothing of them, leaving them only with a rather lack-luster carriage or boat ride into the game. It reminds me of the opening of Skyrim, but without the suspense and wonder...and no ferocious dragon at the end. =p
