I'm excited. Don't bother if you're the type that scoffed at Lineage 2 or other Korean MMOs. It's going to have more Western design influences, but it's still NCsoft and it's still a Korean game at heart.
The sudden flooding of keys for this weekend's event kind of bums me out because I literally just swung by my Gamestop on the way home from work to pre-order and get the pre-order box that has beta keys in it, that they had just received today. But keep in mind, those mmorpg.com keys only grant you access to this weekend's event. There will be future events that only the pre-orders garuntee you access too.
