This game does everything right that World of Warcraft did wrong. As someone who came from WoW, I admit I had rather low expectations from the beginning. However, I quickly found myself pleasantly surprised. I've fallen in love with the game.

The gameplay is solid, with plenty to do, especially for first-timers. There are plenty of classes to choose from, with 18 combat classes (more being added in the next expansion) and 11 crafter/gatherer classes. Instead of having to make a new character any time you want to try a new class, like you did in WoW, you can simply... unlock them, and then level them up! You can change back and forth as often as you please. Such an astounding concept. If only more MMOs took to the idea as well.

The story is well-written, with a rich atmosphere and solid character development that progresses as you experience the story. Most characters are voiced, and the VAs are not lacking. Personally, I originally preferred all the "A Realm Reborn" voice actors over the Heavensward and beyond voice actors, but the new VAs grew on me after some time.

All in all, a solid choice for an MMO if you're looking to get into one.
