Sadly it doesn't seem to play well with my system. I realize it's an Open Beta, but it was very choppy, it doesn't really like my dual monitor set-up and I started to get really bad eye strain after just 30 minutes of play. Part of that I think was from lowering some of the graphic settings. The massive aliasing that my 7600 GT does not have the power to deal with was one of the issues.
I think I might enjoy the game play though I hate holding a button down on the mouse to move, I'm fine as a mouse turner in FPS games but the button holding really kills me in this and in WoW and the keyboard turning is even worse than in WoW though I could probably get used to it.
I'll have to see about settings (possibly disabling the 2nd monitor when playing as well) and give it another go. Later tonight or something. But eye strain that bad that quick is not a good sign. :(
I'm getting tired of WoW but I want something that I can do online with friends. :)
