I agree about the game.
Fun thing for me is Im playing with a friend that is 3,000 miles from me.
We're still in the opening city as we play only 2to3 hours per week. So the game is very fun and long lasting and will take a long time for it to finish.
We spend time crafting, polishing off characters and treat it as a real life adventure, which it is

I look forward to it each week.
