This was the first closed beta I have played so I was expecting some utter failure. To my delight it was relatively problem free when comparing it to open beta and even some games well after launch. I think ZOS is a very smart developer. They opted to reuse starter content for 50+ stuff instead of forcing players to do annoying dailies like so many other game companies do. The Guild Store system was another ingenius solution which I am hoping keeps the gold farmers at bay. All in all, I have been really impressed with the dev team and am thoroughly enjoying the game.

I am not looking at this from a TES standpoint since I have not played any of the previous titles, but from an MMO fan perspective. It has been a very long time that a game in any state has svcked me in and left me wanting more. The organic feel of the quests, the ability to explore virtually unrestricted, the minimalist ui and so much more speak volumes to the intellegent design of this game and the genius of the devs. Yep Imma fan!
