I've got 27 hours here, and probably a good 200+ hours in the non-steam version. Figure i'd write a line or two about it.
(sadly you can't connect to your non-steam account here)

It's a good game overall.
Grindy, massive, beautiful, and has so many things to do that you can easily waste a whole day just chilling out and exploring. Or crafting beer. Or cooking. Or gathering materials. Or playing the market. Or breeding horses. Or just going out on a boat and watching the sun rise.
Whatever you wanna do, really.

Theres so much stuff in this game, and barley any of it is actually explained to you. Like the work system, or trading nodes, or how to actually craft items to sell. You're gonna want to have the wiki open for this one. This might be a turnoff to a lot of people, but thankfully none of it is actually required. Its just there if you wanna dig into this more.
Combat looks amazing and feels pretty great, though you're gonna be chopping through large crowds of same-looking enemies most of the time, with the occasional boss fight sprinkled in for flavor.

Then theres the pvp thing. ...and where a lot of the negative stuff comes from.
At level 50, the game turns into an open PVP thing. You can stop leveling yourself at 49 if you choose.
I'm not a huge fan of it. I'm just here to chill and make money.
In the cash shop, you can buy things to help you craft the "good stuff"/end game gear, which a lot of folks considers pay to win.
I dunno. I stay away from all that.
Also the shop is stuffed with more bras and panties than a victorias secret catalog, if you're into that sorta thing. The game knows who its core audience is.
For $10 (at the time of writing) you get a heck of a lotta content and stuff to do.
