First I'd like to preface this by saying that I'm a card carrying fanboi of Richard Garriot. So, keeping that in mind:
The review sites are giving healthy reviews to TR, and Garriot promised he'd see the game to it's end and it was going to revoluntionize how designers approach an MMO. Hefty promise, eh? Even from him. Those two things (reviews + his promise) is enough to more or less guarantee that when I have the bux & my computer back up I'll buy it. I have a friend that's playing it and he said it's like an Auto-Assault that doesn't suck. :lol:
Everything I've seen indicates that the gameplay, as can be expected from the design standard used, is rock-solid and even fantastic. The "extras" beside gameplay most review sites have said are either operational but could use love, or slated for "soon". Thus, it sounds like it's fun and in need of polish, which is a hell of a lot better than releasing flawed and trying to patch up.
YMMV, but I'll drop back here with a full review asap.
