I am intrigued to see what they do with the game and will definately be giving it a fair chance.
I had an account on version 1.x which I would activate, de-activate, re-activate, repeat x100. Though stunningly beautiful, it wasn't a game I could find myself immersed in, the combat was too slow to respond to the commands you input and it didn't focus enough on group play.
I'm putting my faith in SE a bit here when I say; I'm mostly looking forward to an improved battle system and necessity of group play in leveling.
