Is anyone playing this or considering starting? Because I can tell you without a doubt that it is by far the most detailed and best thought out MMO that I've ever played. Combat is smooth, fluid and fast-paced. It's impossible for a player to rush in and steal treasure or quest objectives while the player who should, by all rights, get it is busy in combat. It's possible to sit in chairs (gasp!). Day/night cycles and weather systems. When it's raining, your character gets wet. Jiggle physics (

).
The only real downsides, in my opinion, are that character creation is a bit limited, especially compared to ESO, and it is, at times, extremely Japanese

. And, of course, a subscription, but it's completely worth it

Over the past few weeks, I've been involved in building up the rp community on my server and it's getting quite sizeable now

PC, PS3 and PS4 users all get access to the same servers and can play together, which is pretty cool, but, obviously, you need a keyboard for effective communication and, especially, rp, so PC is best (19.99GBP on Steam).
