rich and rewarding craftingsystem and premise, does not justify this busted broken and buggy title, that looks bad too

for an mmo, i would say that this one is actually one of the better ones, based on the premise of a post apocalyptic wasteland, which is only strengthed by the way you gather and craft in the game - by salvaging various nodes such as ores, scrap metal, black trashbags and old cars. unfortunately, the gathering system is slightly imcomplete, as there are some things that are nearly impossible to aquire. my best example is "scrap fastners", items which are aquired almost exclusively by salvaging from cars, but cars are rare, and you need a lot of them for practically any item you make in the beginning. on the other hand, every merchant in the game sells the above mentioned item, and every other normal item as well, which ruins the gathering system as well.
you can allways go missionrunning, if you dont feel like straying from WoW. the missions are good, and most them are a part of chains, that couple together well. most quests involve combat. the combat in the game, however, is best described like gamespots reviewer, clunky, enemy AI is lacking, performing such evasive tactics as going straight towards you, or running 5 steps to one side, and then 5 steps the other, even if they carry firearms.
worst of all, the game is bugged from top to toe, and there are some memory leaks around buildings, dropping framerate from 120 frames/second to 0.1 (monitor updates frame once every 10 seconds) perhaps it is my computer, but i see a few getting it as well.

ultimately, the game does not fulfill its premise, and if you think of going into MMORPG, you should look elsewhere.
if you play WoW, and wish for something else, this might be worth a look, but you will get tired of the bugs quickly

ultimately this title does not fulfill its premise,
