I managed to get ahold of a beta key and spent most of the holiday weekend playing. It's been a fun time, and between leveling different class combos, upgrading gear, AAing, and unlocking different races, primary classes, and deities I could see it holding my interest for awhile.
There's certainly quite a bit that needs to be polished, and multiclass mobs need some fine-tuning (multiclassed mobs get 2-3x as much hp, and you run into issues where random trash charms/mezzes you and you have to wait around for it to wear off, or you just get chain stunned by multiple casters) but it's been fun so far.
Where they're not necessarily going to be following the original EQ expansion path, I'm curious to see how quickly they end up pushing out new content. If we only get an expansion a year, the game will be long dead by the time that rolls around.
