I've spent a lot of time hammering out the core concepts of the game, including the SimPlayer companions. You can group with them now, give them gear and they'll use it (persistently, between play sessions) and level them up.
Deck out the whole 'server' with good gear, and your raid targets will drop like flies.
To take a break, I made a trailer. Watch out for the freakin' goosebumps it's gonna give you.
