As of last Thursday, I was unable to play this game due to frequent crashes and awful performance. Even running it at minimum graphics settings the game was choppy and ridden with graphical errors. Mind you this is on a C2D 2.26 ghz w/ 3GB ram and an ATI X1950X 512MB video card. I can't say much for the gameplay itself, but I don't understand how a game can go from that kind of state to launch 2 weeks later. Does Funcom's marketing team dominate the discussion around choosing a release date? Do they muzzle the development and QA members - or are they simply not invited? Did they learn ANYTHING from their failure with Anarchy Online?

Please tell me that at least the game play and balancing was polished?

There was a closed beta patch.. like ..2 weeks ago now that pretty much fixed everything.

People that were getting 20 fps are now getting 40+, etc. etc.
