Well.  I dont know what to tell.  I've played it for 4 hours and just 
hit level 7.  And no doubt its a WoW clone in every aspect.  Some 
elements actually feels better in WS and especially the combat system is 
nice.  If you attack something you have a cone on the ground in front of 
you.  This cone is also your cast bar which is a huge improvement 
compared to the combat system in WoW!
So I dont know what to say.  It *is* WoW in space!  There is a noob area 
for new chars where you learn most of the basic in-game mechanics and 
here you also realize there is nothing much new compared to WoW.
The only element that nags me is the quest log and tracker.  There are 
ordinary questgivers.  But there are also quests you get once you enter 
a new area.  If youre lost you just press M and check your map.  Anyway! 
  It is not clear when you have completed a quest and when not.  And 
there are a few other things that make questing a little confusing.  But 
I'm sure this will be fixed. :)

If youre tired of WoW and youre looking for an alternative this might be 
a good choice.

Maye it will be 'fixed', it depends if they want to adopt the 'following 
yonder star' quest play on rails or leave it open.
In wow leaving for a few weeks/months/years it is still hard to know 
what this and that item is for in game.
The glowing quest items is *wonderful* but without wowhead it would be 
very difficult to pickup where you were. How long did it take for that 
to be fixed? :-)

Does it have repgrinds to X to get gear or do they have progression is 
smooth and determine discount?

What you have said does illustrate just how good wow is , a lot of 
people measure mmo in how similiar to wow it is :-)

I find new games are fun just *because * it is all new, the awe of 
discovery is a big part. Wow have very little of that now, simply 
because of repetition and familiarity. With each xpac it starts on a new 
level which is good but it also diminishes all the previous.

Exactly.  The exploring part in a new game is always a temporary 
feeling.  nonetheless I can cancelled my WoW supscription a few hours 
ago.  Not because I've bought WS.  But because its the same repititive 
actions again and again.  And I bet it will be the same in WS.
I've never really played the Cata expansion, but I bought a month, 
leveled my main to 85 and quitted.  In those 30 days I saw a little of 
the new content and I felt that was enough for me.

I also stopped because my guildleader was an arsehole to me so I left 
the guild a few days ago and gave up a spot in the best 10man raid team 
I ever have been a part of.  But thats another story. :)
