I tested it yesterday for the first time, Control Wizard.
Pretty fun combat and good graphics. I didn't play that much, but I like what I saw, it's way better than the previous DDO and it's free, but, for me, the biggest selling point of this game is the Forge. MMO with tools to create your own adventures?! I can actually level up characters with completely different quests every single time (if we assume there's enough custom built quests).
Seriously, best idea ever for PvE guys like me.
P.S: The daily power is awesome. I'm not a fan like before, but I couldn't help but feel like a Ninja from Naruto when I used it for the first time . Doing a quick series of complicated hand-signs, arcane runes popping up in mid-air with each sign, presses both hands on the floor and BOOM, explosion of ice around me. Man, the animations of this game are awesome.

Ah, can you actually get experience from the Foundry? When Star Trek Online (from which the idea stems) first opened you couldn't (for reasons of balance I believe) so I've avoided it since then.

I suppose the surprise can be spoiled, but still, nobody is paying for the surprise.
Like any responsible adult I have a Five Year Plan. It culminates in me becoming Batman.

Uhm, well, since this isn't a tactical rpg, no. As said above, this is close to an action RPG. Can you imagine trying to play a game with 4 or 5 other people, excluding raids, where everyone could pause the game? Two turns would take 3 hours.

Any game where you can't pause the combat is button mashing?
Right...
Well obviously.

I fully expected an MMO to allow you to pause at any time.

I wanted confirmation that the combat in neverwinter nights 2 would be just as boring.as every single other mmorpg. Now I have it, interest has gone
Boring means you can't pause it?
I don't think MMO's are for you...
