Pity you hadn't pre-ordered before Sunday, play.com were doing a special offer with their pre-orders so you'd receive early access and 2 in-game items free.

Oh that's a shame, but cheers for the information, appreciated.

Np

I was nearly tempted but couldn't decide and still got my fingers crossed I get a review copy

Just been playing this tonight in the headstart. Very polished for an MMO release. More fun than Lord of the Rings beta.

I'm on Axe Bite Server (order) but will probably have a Destruction alt on another server before too long.
So far I'm quite impressed. Never been a Wow player though so don't ask me to compare it

In the past, for MMOs, I've previewed WoTLK, reviewed Age of Conan, a Lineage 2 expansion pack and Tabula Rasa, so I think my reward should be this game imo

Impressive!

I beta'd Tabula Rasa. Great idea, lousy implementation.

If they'd just retextured Guild Wars and set it in space it would have been heaps better.
An improvement on Auto Assault though.

The full game was much the same

MMOs are a pain to review in a short space of time, too much changes every time there's a patch and a year later, the game you reviewed is entirely different. Some games change entirely in the time it takes to review! Few times I've finished writing then realised a new patch comes out the next day and changes loads
