This game feels like WoW++ or WoW 2.0 to me. Much of the gameplay is similar. But, Sigil has added several elements to the gameplay that make this superior to WoW: much better classes, no instances (a good thing, in my opinion), much more user created content. Crafting is much better and more engaging than WoW. Vanguard adds a whole new sub-game called Diplomacy that is extremely innovative and fun. All of this is on day 1. Who knows how the game will improve over time. Sigil is promising user-owned houses, professions, etc. I'm having big fun now and am looking for to the future.
The only letdown so far has been the graphics. Sigil promised more than they're delivering here. Also, this game requires an up-to-date rig. In the beta, I couldn't play with my Athlon 1.8, 1GB and nVidia 6800. I'm playing now with everything max'd with a E6400, 2BG and nVidia 8800GTS.
