I was in the last beta weekend, doing a write-up for AGN at the moment.
Skinny: its a lot of fun but needs work on character customisation / choices / depth.

Yeh gameplay has been really responsive and fun, to be honest I never stopped to think where it was hosted.

Go play GW2, lots more polished, or go back to WoW and enjoy polished.
Love it or hate it, WoW is still the most polish MMO.
This is at best good for 2009.

Neverwinter is more about connecting adventure authors (ie, DMs) with players than a traditional MMO in my opinion. The Foundry content I played in beta 2 worked really well and was pretty sharp. Its an interesting take on the genre.

I would actually go as far as saying the PVE content is much, much more interesting then Guild Wars 2. The Foundry is a great addition to allowing customised content and being able to actually make my own dungeon is just awesome. I wasn't able to give PVP a shot though which kind of bummed me out but looking forward to the next few weekends and of course the final release. It definitely offers a far more interesting combat playstyle to other action MMOs like TERA and I never once felt like I was lagging which made it even better.
Definitely one to look out for.

I just was really excited and then seeing my character move and interact with things was a real let down. Issues with server lag, user interface was nothing new.
I dunno, improve the genre or gtfo IMO :/

I'm quite excited to try it out. I cut my rpg teeth on NWN and would love to see it return to the big time regardless of whether it's good or not :P
If there is actually f*****g raids I will eat it up massively. (thanks GW2 ><)

That should be my next tattoo.
Ticman the mouse cursor is "there" in that pressing alt will give you the cursor to use for interface shenanigans, otherwise the mouse is used as the camera control due to being an action-based MMO.
