At this point, while I can have fun with HGL, I WOULD NOT recommend this game to anyone. As you pass the beta caps, it is obvious just how little internal testing was done. There are huge bugs that could not possibly have been missed with any real amounts of play time. There are mob issues that say to me that anyone playing hardcore is either a gaming god or a total masochist. There are still crashes and I can guarantee that they will happen at the worst time - leaving the game will reset some of the quests' progress and there are no shortcuts to some areas you will then need to get back to. I find myself having fun and then one of these issues smacks me in the face and I get pissed off, something I can get plenty of elsewhere and don't look for in my gaming experience. I just don't see multiplayer and, more specifically, guilds adding much to the game either. Overall, there is nothing I can see to keep me coming back over and over, a la the Diablos, once you've gone through with the different classes.

I wanted this game to be another life stealing addiction, but it won't be so.:(I would love to be proven wrong, and even find reason to subscribe. They have a lot of work to do, very quickly, if that is to be.
