The NDA has dropped, and I have to say my experience in the closed Beta has been awesome so far. I only played up to around level 14 at highest (had a ton of alts, and didn't have closed beta all that long), yet I still experienced some ridiculously epic pvp. I think I was in a keep seige that had around 70-80 people with minimal lag. Some of the most fun I've ever had in a game was when we came out the gates en masse and drove them back to their city, only to be owned by their cannons.
Would recommend everyone else try this game out, it's awesome.
And if you play closed beta tell me the server name. I'm on Tyrion atm. Name is Oppenheimer, class is bright wizard. Preview Weekend is this weekend and it's gonna be damn fun.
