With the drop of the subscription, it has actually improved a lot; I was in the beta's of this game, played it a few months ago, and it's really a brand new game now. The tutorial has been modified, the flow of the game has changed... it's a lot more fun this way.

But it indeed lacks the strengths of Spellborn: great ambients, perfect usage of music, the awesome combat and just the background/atmosphere of TCoS. But all in all, it's a great game now.
It has been received a lot more positive too since the release of Tamriel Unlimited.

But the main MMO I play for the moment is Guild Wars 2, but I'm in kind of a hiatus there as I've been playing it for 3 years... I need some variation! xD
