still playing this game and loving it. The first game since WoW that actually has me interested and invested in end game. The "Astral" is one of the most innovative end-game experiences I've seen, though it needs a bit of polish. We spent a couple hours last night manning our posts on our 'floating space cruiser' jumping to different universes, dodging & fleeing from astral demons, finding 'allods' that are instanced islands with bosses who drop chests ... until we got our first rare chest. you cant open chests unless you get back to your hangar ... but you have to find your way back to the right 'universe' without getting killed, or else you shipwreck & someone else can come by and steal your lewtz! If this game had the resources and investment that Blizzard gives to polish its products, it would unquestionably be the next big MMO. Pure diamond in the rough. Oh, and the PvP is loads of fun despite being pretty pointless for now (game is supposedly still in "beta"). The "Holy Lands" are eerily reminiscent to the old school Southshore/Tarren Mill tug of wars. And, surprise! Lowbies can (somewhat) fight back! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mPVf3NScVI ... (yeah, that doesnt normally happen though lol)

As for leveling tips?
There are countless little tips I could give, but the main one would be ; try to max out reputations ASAP for lvls 15+ since the gear upgrades will be enormously helpful - don't waste time with auctioned gear. Also, you will be much better off trying to use up all your "fatigue" xp every day, and not trying to level beyond that point once you run out. [Fatigue is like rested xp, except it automatically replenishes to full every day at server reset (midnight EST) and doesn't require any inactivity]. If you don't try to level when you run out of fatigue, then you shouldn't ever have to grind to lvl.
little tips;
- start using stat potions as soon as you can. you can only use one, but they are very helpful.
- ignore a lot of the tooltips as many are still inaccurate or confusing, read the forums or ask people instead. Just try to keep your main stats balanced, don't stack one stat since they don't behave linearly.
- regardless of class, put all of your stat points into luck
- check forums before hand to get an idea where to put your talent points since respeccing requires an item that either costs $7.50 or a ton of gold on the auction. (you get one for free @ 40 though)
- buy speed potions to use just to get around faster. they're super cheap on the auction and will save time.
- bind yourself to the main city when you get there, then make sure to unlock the port locations, porting really gets you around faster and its free.
- try to always keep up with "world mystery" quests ... and ignore the "bag" and "bank" quests until a high level unless you really want to spend a lot of frustrating time increasing your bag & bank space
- if you don't want to be ganked a lot when you reach the 'holy lands' (lvl 25+) then make sure to unflag yourself, but know that you gain 90% xp in lvl 25+ zones when unflagged ... and 110% xp when flagged. Again this is only in pvp zones 25+.
- The most powerful PvP classes seem to be Warriors, Healers, Summoners, and Scouts .... PvE classes are Healers, Psis & Mages (CC is very very very important in this game), and TANKS TANKS AND MORE TANKS!
- Most "fun" classes are reportedly Warriors, Summoners and Psis.
(If you roll a League player on Tensess server, then feel free to whisper me on "Qpon" with any questions)

I assume when you respec your talents, you don't get to redistribute stats?
There are two "waters" you use to reset things; Water of death resets talent/skill pts. Water of life resets stat pts. You don't get a free water of life until you do like a super hard mystery quest raid encounter, think onyxia. But since stats are all a balancing act anyways, as long as you put all your pts into useful stats its not a big deal. To use em, you have to go to your class trainer when you have a water.
