Hi Ive been debating on getting this game. I seen alot of video clips and the game seems to be alot of fun and the dance moves are funny. I play world of warcraft and i am getting bored of playing it and paying for the monthly fee. I just would like some input of this game. To see how people like it and why they like it. And how is the pvp. Is it just a pvp server or can u pvp on a pve server as well. Thanks for the upcoming replies.

The game is incredible. Go and buy it.

And to answer a question: There are no 'servers' like in WoW. ( Of course there are servers, but the whole thing is done transparently, so you won't have to think about which server you want to connect ).
You just login and you can decide to play pve or pvp, as you wish.

Maybe someone can give you their free trial code key so you can try the game free for a few days. I am guessing the free preview weekend coming up is for people who own the game already but if not you can play then. It will be this weekend 7/28-7/30.
Whether or not you will like the game is your preference, I have heard people say each is good in its own way so we can't say if you will like it after playing WoW.

Well, with PvP, there's several types. There are 8 vs 8 guild battles, 8 vs 8 Hero's ascent battles, there are 4 man team arenas, there are 4 man random arenas (where your just tossed in with whoever), and there are Alliance Battles (availible with Factions) which are 3 teams of 4 people verses 3 other teams of 4.

I'm liking the game because the PvE content is fun to play, there's plenty of variety - places to go and things to do. Some people complain that the level cap of 20 is too low, but I think it works great because it cuts out a ton of grind and puts the emphasis of the game on SKILL, not level.

Most people will say to get Prophecies to start out, as the learning curve is much more gradual. I also think it's better all around. There's a better story line, which starts as soon as you finish creating your character. It's a much larger continent & the different parts of it are all enjoyable places to go. (Factions has a huge city that I don't enjoy being in at all.)

On the other hand, with Factions, you get access to the Alliance Battles (which are quite fun) and the Assassin and Ritualist professions.
