10/10

Mind you, I haven't really started my Corruption grind and still hunting for Uniques with or without LP.
I keep wanting to play a new guy, try that new drop out on that class. Makes me even want to go in on the same class, same mastery just to do a different build all together with the same tree.
This is at 162 hours, 5 completed campaigns (act9 currently), max 82 Void Knight, 76 Necro, 65 Sorc, 62 Spellblade, and most recently a 55 Beastmaster. And they have all been a blast and there is still so much more to do with all of these classes and subclasses.
Alright, rant over maybe, anyways. Top notch game. 10/10

So the dev's have finally pushed out a fast patch, rather than making their community wait another weak to fix bugs that we're still present after a scheduled patch. A day later, they patched out the issue and the game has been a pretty grand place to be now.
Players are finally able to progress through the main story without hindrances, Able to acquire the games T5 Azoth Staff as well as unlock their Heartrune Equipment slot.
With these major bugs out of the way, the game has been a much appealing place to spend my time.

The best part of an MMO like this is the lack of a subscription fee, something that used to be a staple part of MMO's, is not present in this game. Subscriptions are an old method of money generation for an MMO, with most of them having a microtransaction shop now a days for cosmetics and ingame things like mounts. This is something I appreciate about New World, the understanding that they can make a good game with no sub by supplementing the subscription through ingame paid costmetics and non pay to win features.
Being able to enjoy the game and not have to worry about how much more time I have left to play.

I also believe the $30 price tag for an expansion is quite reasonable when you've got other leading MMO's such as WoW and FF14 that price them out at $60 yet can't give their community 30 days to go along with the expansion, which winds up costing their players around $75 dollars to come back and enjoy the game. The whole concept needs to be dropped and I appreciate New World for understanding that.

Alright, 70 hours in and I've now beaten all bosses at present time. Dev, I'm looking forward to your 5/12 announcement.
Got real lucky on the Twin Dragons, an Explorer wandered by and finished off Grit for me opening the way to the Fallen Wizard.
But stuff like that is what's exciting and fun about this game.
By far, I can't lie, my favorite time spend has been bank sitting at my castle I build just watching my villagers go about there lives while I decide upon my next adventure.
I plan to take the time to get those last few achievements and am really looking forward to the 2-3 biomes to come.
I've even gotten at least 2 others playing! :D

Yes

Don't forget your Barrows gloves.

Rift is a great free to play MMO, it's gorgeous and there are plenty of things to do. I'd suggest people try it, it's slow to start but gets quite good later.

Greatest game ever made.
10/10 would bang.
