Conceptually the game sounds amazing, better than what any other MMO is trying to do right now. I'll have to see exactly how the combat is and what PvP is available. Their system for world PvP does sound pretty smart, letting anyone attack any other player if they want to, but suffering consequences for being too far out of level range or going after an "innocent" player. I just wonder how healers will work with that system, if they never attack then they would just be flagged as "innocent"? I'd guess you have to be grouped with someone to heal them and if anyone in your group attacks someone, you become flagged too; or at least that's how it should work.
In terms of PvE, I feel like the dungeons in this game won't be anything special, and I'm not thrilled about 20% of them being instanced apparently, but at least the game is largely open-world and looks like it could be more dynamic than any other. Pantheon as a fully open world is something I like more, but so far they haven't shown any other particularly interesting system.
