It seems almost inevitable that it will be compared to WoW but my main hope for this game is that it will be different enough that the comparisons will be strained. The main aspect is how fun it is. Did you/do your friends love the game into itty bitty wittle pieces? (Allowing for beta changes and bugs, of course).
Yes, it's natural that people would compare a new game to other existing major titles. The game is significantly different, but there are some useful comparisons to be made for people concerned about leveling and questing rates, progression style, and whether any of the same or similar systems will also exist in TERA.
Regarding how fun it is... this is basically the most fun MMO that I've personally played because of the action combat system which draws from some of my favorite elements from multiple genres: action RPG, FPS and fighting games. The game feels modern, solid, evolved... the aesthetics are beautiful and polished... and it doesn't feel like it turns into a boring grind... yet. It's active and engaging and that's more than I can say about most other MMOs on on the market currently.
