Its the closest I've come to liking an MMO since I started WoW. The only thing that stopped me from continuing to play it is that, at least to me, it seemed there was too much forced grouping. Too many quests required you to group up and, at one point, I couldn't find anything to do besides the 10 or so group quests in my log. At that point it stagnated and I went back to WoW. Its an overall good game though, has many improvements over WoW. I enjoyed it...there were just a few huge things that stopped me from not continuing.
