So far, my judgement is: Maybe best MMO evar.
Playing WoW after this is going to be... hard... And this is just the beta.

Pretty game is pretty...

I have heard nothing like that. PvP is integrated into the game. From what I've seen, it's just open world PvP. In fact, I am pretty sure I had heard someone saying there weren't any battlegrounds, at least not yet. One other person complained that if they do introduce battlegrounds he would hate it. So, from what I read, battlegrounds sounds like a no. For now.

Alright, this is gonna need some explanation with your "battlegrounds are a no sell for me" comment. How else would you get organized PVP except through battlegrounds? Of all the MMOs I've played its been either open or BG oriented, or both to a degree in the case of Dark Ages of Camelot, so what qualifies as "organized PVP" to you? Granted I've not spent much time in Guild Wars, as the whole thing confused the fuck out of me anyway, so if it differs in someway, please let me know how.

This is exactly what my Guildmate said and to me, that basically seals the "no" for me. I hate WoW.

See and this is the type of attitude that is going to inevitably keep people from even actually trying the game.
The game is NOT like WoW except that it's a 3D MMORPG in a fantasy setting. I just don't know how to describe it without going into a big long thing.
Like... I dunno. Try the game. if you like it, good for you. That's all I can say. It's worth spending 5 bucks at gamestop and reserving a copy to try the beta, and then if you don't like it, just cancel your reservation. *shrug*

You're the one who just said it was like WoW. And in any case, if it's like WoW that means it'll do well. Folks love WoW. I also know this game has a lot of hype behind it already.

It seems like comparisons to WoW in the Aion community get shot down pretty fast by people who despise WoW, and most people complaining about how the game isn't enough like WoW get flamed... and yet, I dunno, I thought it was similar to WoW in all the good ways, i.e. easy controls, free movement, similar control scheme, similar equipment management, etc...
I will say it this way... If this game was a stand-alone single player RPG, I would play it. The fact that it is a MMO is a bonus since I prefer multiplayer gaming most of the time.
Sorry if I seemed testy.
