Nice to see that they entended the offer. I am downloading it right now as I am an MMO n00b and wanted something to try out to see if I liked them

Personally, I would say don't waste your bandwidth/time. Unless something's changed (I got in near the start of the free offer), the servers are over crowded, and lag like a motherer.

thanks for the heads up. I don't have high hopes, but even if I get an hour or two of enjoyment, it will be worth the 30 minutes it took to download and install as I really want to check out what people see in MMO's.

I tried it out before it was just OK, nothing special. Didn't pull me away from Guild Wars or World of Warcraft.

If you want a less crowded experience, start a character on the 2nd server, Rimor. Just make sure you read the manual first or you'll piss off people on newbie island if you ask a bunch of stupid questions which get asked every 15 minutes or so. Also, one piece of advice, whatever you do, don't pick the breed nanomage. Best of luck.
