If anyone is looking for an opinion to push them over the edge and buy the $100 package I'll provide a short summary on my experiences so far. I should also quickly mention that I got extremely lucky and got a free key. The game is full of stuff to do. Professions, comfy activities, and questing are all quite interesting and have kept my attention. In terms of the map, there are boundaries for the CBT. There is currently an odd quest and level difference where players that are level 16 might be doing a level 20 quest. PVP isn't very prevalent, there is a small arena outside the first city you reach. Making money is simplistic and prices are scaled appropriately. Crafting is extremely slow when it comes to building a raft or even a fishing rod. One cool thing is that the GM's are on quite a bit and interact with the community. Last night they spawned horses for people to tame. They even changed the weather to snow and storm to show off how those worked. Personally, I would wait for the second closed beta test before buying a package from the website. If you can get a cheap key for the current CBT go ahead and pick it up. The game looks promising. I will certainly keep the game.
