- I pre-purchased the Digital Imperial Edition.
- Agreed. Grouping is discouraged because of severe phasing and no shared quest items. As it happens, I'm primarily a solo player, so it doesn't bother me, but I do recognize it as an issue for those who like to group.
- It's not any more expensive than other AAA MMO titles. Indeed, the collector's edition was substantially less expensive than those from other games (by a wide margin).
- The game costs exactly the same as any other MMO on release. It has a subscription, but so do other very successful MMO's. It is more expensive than single player games like Skyrim, no doubt about it, but it's an MMO. Very standard pricing here.
- I would buy it again, yes, and do not consider the price to be unreasonable in any way.
