i downloaded the play the fae trial and this is wat i got from just that.
ive played WoW, ive played SWG (which i loved), ive played ffxi, but i never tried eq2 cause it seemed a bit too hardcore, and i had trouble with ffxi so i figured there was no way i could handle eq.
but after reading on these forums a bit it seemed like it might be worth a shot. wat mostly drew me in was the solo-ability factor.
so i download the trial and i start to play (play a bit with the fae then went on to make a froglok), and to me this game was a perfect match. it has the expansive, 1,000,000 things to do feel of SWG, and the solo-ability of WoW.
This game took me by surprise and i have every intention of buying the full thing now.
