Well I gave it a short shot yesterday evening, just 5 minutes.
First of all here are the available servers:
I don't really remember if I picked Karag Orud or Karak-Hirn tbh, with names like that it's not easy to remember. Not that it matters much anyway, we'll see tonight (if we all have the keys validated lol) which we pick. There are only core servers anyway (so no Open RvR yet)
Then I logged in and euh...well I expected it to be ugly but it managed to surprise me. It's definitely uglier than I thought. I don't know how the people who made nice screenshots managed to do them cuz I'm supposed to be at highest quality (but then might just be my hardware that it considers too low even if I run AoC maxed out lol)
Might be just Chaos area, and haven't checked much, just logged in, made a few steps forward (tried too, had to map the keys) and then logged off.
Chaos is puzzling with muzzling voices and wind blazing. Sound is rather awful too.
As u can see (even if quality of the screen has been lowered) the characters are edgy, the decors are squary (some grey stuff is ground, some other is rocks). Maybe it's first run who does that like in aoc, we'll see tonight but first impression was "omg! Yuk!"
A few other remarks: Running speed is damn slow, Key mappings is sorted alphabetically >_<, Graphics options aren't numberous even with advanced options (might have to force things with drivers there), character creation is simplistic, around 10 faces and 3 that look good, 5 hair cuts and 1-2 that look ok. Sometimes hairs doesn't even stick to the face, u see white holes in between. Clone wars ahead ;) Interface is full of stuffs I don't get directly, some parts are really small.
Oh well we'll see when we play all together :)

I also got my key registered (email arrived in the middle of the night) and I also gave it a quick look in the morning. Tbh I thought that it looks better than expected. Really ugly but I thought it will be even worse. I just created a black orc named Gumpf quickly and OMG they are so damn ugly ;) I did a few steps and the run speed is really slow. The UI looked ok I think but u can indeed not change a lot in the graphics settings. Anyhow I hope that kanu and blinky will also get their keys registered somehow today so that we can whine together in the evening how damn ugly the game is :)
apparently if you try to register again now it's validated straight on.
Well maybe it was just chaos area, it's really really dark hehe.
Gumpf...O_O
I look forward to the names we'll have to cope with (I had to go with Ave, cuz Avenger was taken, guess we'll pick another server anyway)
We got a forth account valid. We didn't got the email, but it is working :) Which means that we can finally play tonight if nothing else happens :)
