I've got it on Steam.

It's fun and the art style is great. Unfortunately the quests get monotonous to me really quickly. Perhaps it'd be more fun if I was playing it in a group, but until the recent patch you had to open a bunch of ports on your NAT/firewall to do that and I'm just not comfortable with that. I don't think I've reinstalled it since I reformatted for Win 7, but I might do that on of these weekends. I currently have a backlog of a few things to wade through though, all of which are also on Steam:

Left 4 Dead 2
Modern Warfare 2
Battlefield Bad Company 2 (demo right now, preordered the game)

I found the game to be fun solo but so much better when a group play.
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exagerated.

Please don't feed the troll. I'm currently not hungry.

The game gets boring after completing it, it take me 2 weeks to finish it, but then you have the option of starting again but on the level you finished before.

Im a level 48 hunter, I havent play it for about 3 weeks now.

I did play the arena pvp, and I think its better then quests, more like hardcore pvp! :wink:

Played it coop with my flatmate on 360, was a good laugh as we both enjoy burning things, but like Rick said earlier, quests got a little monotonous.
