So after 2 days of the beta, I've become adamant about a couple of things...
1) I must have this game.
2) I am very angry at Bioware for not doing an Oceanic release.
3) I must download this game or purchase it from somewhere.
4) It is possibly the most fun I've had in an MMO in years.
I'll explain point 4 though. As was explained earlier in the topic, Bioware has added the fourth pillar to it's MMORPG... 'story telling'... I'm the kind of guy that will look at a game and if it doesn't have a decent story, I won't actually continue playing it.. Bioware took what I loved about KOTOR and what I loved about ME and combined them into an effective medium for their story telling.. I feel as though I am attached to this character I've created this weekend and that is something very difficult for me to do in an MMO (let alone a beta).
I haven't touched an MMO since DCUO earlier this year (I admit, I enjoyed playing that with friends).. but this just kicks the crap out of that game.
I have a couple of issues though, particularly with travelling and travel speeds. You don't get your first movement speed upgrade until level 14, and then it is only +35% (should be + 50% imo).
My companion glitches occasionally, and that is really annoying.
When I alt-tab (I play windowed mode).. my game goes all weird and does some stupid stuff when I go back into the game world.
