Maybe a game worth looking at for a group of us to play. I played the beta and thought that it was pretty good, but didn't want to pay the monthly cost.

I played the game for a month when it came out and I loved it... except for the people portion. It had the feel that I expected from Skyrim and the world was great, but the biggest flaw was that everywhere you went, there were people farming everything. So none of the quests became challenging. I remember going into caverns and walking to the boss with nothing to fight, and then having to battle with 10 other people trying to get that 1 hit in on the monster so I get credit for the kill. All I needed was one hit and then the monster was dead.

That ruined it for me. Completely.

Now, they have released a number of expansions since then, and I'm sure the population went down too, so perhaps it's worth another look, particularly if it's free to play. I may give it a try when that happens.
My love for you is like a truck..
