I've read several blogs commenting on this, and they seem very negative. I'd like to be more optimistic.
I think if EA gives Bioware the financial and marketing backing they need, Bioware can make a NWN based MMO game that will knock the socks off of every other MMO out there excluding WoW and will give even WoW (finally) some decent competition.
Before patch 2.2 I did a massive rep-grind, getting to exalted with all the factions that were getting new Enchanting recipes where I was not yet exalted. I was already revered, mostly half-way to exalted, so the effort was hard but not crazy. I must have done about 7 SL runs to get to exalted with Lower City, 5 SH runs to get to exalted with Honor Hold, and I forget how many BM runs :)
Not that some of the runs were not fun, especially if the group was strong. I think with one group I did BM in ~40 minutes which was insane pace.
But after all that effort, all of the new recipes are gray to me, which means while they are nice to have (especially the new lower threat one), they will not help me level up my enchanting, which is what I was hoping for. Too bad :(
Yesterday our guild leader added EQdkp and WoWRoster to our guild website. All I can say is way cool :)
Really, now that I've seen them, I think these are must have tools for any guild. If you're playing WoW in a guild and your site doesn't yet use these, bug your GM till he agrees to install them - he'll thank you in the end ;)
