a6eaq, before you get all wound up, let me be a bit more clear... I played at 9pm-midnight CST , USA. It's entirely possible that You and I had differing experiences if You and I played different versions of the test server. Were you playing before the patch? I found my experience to be very enjoyable, and will encourage the devs to continue down this path. Oh by the way, if you want to start the "go somewhere" else routine, I'll happily respond that if you didn't want to play and socialize with other folks, there are plenty of solo computer games that don't require any socializing to advance and have fun in. Perhaps you can try one of those...
