One of my best friends worked on the game, though, so I have to play it for a while. Hopefully, she will have a copy for me at the launch party in SF tonight. I played the beta and thought it was OK.

Tonight, I'm hoping to play with a couple friends who also got the game since I was never able to find them for some true multiplayer action. Game wise, it's very much a simple, action RPG which can be experienced in first person or third person depending on character class and tastes. Like Diablo you get a ton of item drops; unlike Diablo, you don't have to wait until town to do something since you can dissassemble items into components which can in turn be used to upgrade items you do want. I'm waiting to see if the subscription will be worth it before I subscribe. However, it's worth noting that each new build of the beta saw performance and content enhancements, which bodes well towards the promised new content.
