I just started it myself, and so far its ok, I have a lvl 16 atm and the early levels do fly by and the "night-time" legacy quests add a nice touch to the game. On the flip side, it does have it's share of bugs but none were critical or game ending for me. I've played many MMORPGs from Day 1 EQ2, SWG, City of Heroes, WoW, and Planetside and none were even close to bug free Day 1 or even after 30 days.
I want to really like the game, I've been playing WoW on and off since launch but part of the problem with AoC is the "same ole same ole" syndrome - nothing so far sets it beyond any of the other MMOs that I have played. The only thing it has going for it is the "interactive" combat and combo moves but nothing earth shattering about that. Everything else is the same, run, kill, gather, deliver, etc... I really don't PvP much in MMOs (I'd rather play twitch games like Team Fortress 2 or Counterstrike) so that isn't my hook. I still play City of Heroes as my "WoW burnout avoidance" since at least the setting is different than the conventional MMOs and its just plain fun.
I'm not sure I want to invest the hours to level up another character in another game, only to find out no one is left playing when I finally hit lvl 80, because they all left due to Warhammer or Lich King being released. I'm going to keep plodding on at least for my free 30 days and then decide if I want to renew.
