I really enjoyed it in that first weekend I played, don't think I'll play anymore though cos I don't want to spoil it for myself if I end up getting it, but it was pretty different and interesting.

Khel, how do you think the community will fair? Been keen on TSW for a while but if the community doesn't look like it will be very big then I'll stay away from it.

Keen to give it a go - hopefully the overall gameplay can make up for the clunky animations I've seen in the videos

Don't really know how the community will go, not sure its going to be huge though, theres a lot of hate still out there for Funcom because of AoC so thats probably going to turn some people off. Also the game itself could be its own biggest enemy, not because its bad, but because its actually rather difficult in parts and requires the player to actually think, not just follow waypoints for the quests. Like your quest will just give you a clue, then its up to you to investigate, solve puzzles and put the pieces together. For example one quest just presents you with a cryptic illuminati phrase, and you have to work out what it means and find out what location and what item in that location it refers to, then that item has an inscription on it and you need to figure out what THAT means, which involves actually googling bible verses, which then points you to the next location, etc.

Its not spelled out for you step by step, its up to you to actually figure out, which I thought was absolutely awesome, but there was a lot of whinging about how hard it was even in the beta, so I could see it turning off a lot of the mindless noobs who just want to grind xp and complete quests that involve going to waypoints and clicking/killing things.

I really admire that they're taking this approach, and not dumbing it down forr the masses, but that could easily also be what sinks their game.
