    Initial download and launch was just fine. Updating/patching was extremely slow and the three different download progress bars was unusual, especially where it was showing a "merging" progress. I ended up not even being able to play the last day because the launcher update took over 4 hours.
    The only disappointment I had in the game however was the performance of the game. I had to run the game on the lowest settings just to make it playable and it looked/felt terrible. I had seen others play it on stream and theirs seemed fine and beautiful so not sure what was wrong but it was like that for me every time and I was running it on my gaming PC that runs most other modern games well. My FPS was about 10-30 most of the time so I didn't actually play that much because it made me feel a bit nauseated to play.

    initial download and launch went well!
    load times were non-noticeable
    server stability was decent(random stutters)

    animations on mage didn't feel terrible, though spell effects left a decent amount to be desired.
    thank you for your time!

    Download/installation process:
    My client crashed usually several times during downloading. I could not find any permanent fixes, but crashing was reduced when I didn't do anything else on my computer. I believe the issue lies with the available bandwith since I was using 4G-wireless mobile network, which phones use. I have no clue where the server for downloads were, but distance and wireless network did not work well together.

    Client performance
    In-game the client was working fine.

    Server performance
    I'm not sure if it is client/server based, but mobs spawned only when I was practically on them. This caused some deaths, because I took a lot of damage before seeing mobs on the screen.

    -Resources like Stone are too rare.
    -Monsters are not visible when riding fast, only if you stop and then stand in it.

    So far so good. Overall animation and game world look good feedback was positive when I streamed. Things I felt needed improvement. My actual character in game feels really small and you can barely even see the beautiful armors you guys made. The different races look like blonde haired human brown haired human and short human. The names above the mobs as you run around feels way to intrusive.
    Combat seems ok so far. I tried the split body combat and it felt way way better than the forced forward old style of swings. The dodge feels very meh. The blink on the mage feels good because you can get in and out of combat better but the other two classes just feel very slow moving around and if you get targeted your basically dead.
    Things I am hoping for in the future. Orcs that look like real orcs and not green skinny humans. Sport Fishing that is pretty much identical to how archeage did it. Combat in the water for my pirating of peoples fish. Open ocean being open pvp no corruption everywhere on the ocean.

    As a longtime MMO'r and someone who just plays mmo's, it seems the game is about were I would expect at this point. I do see a lot of growth and potential in the next months and can not wait to see it unfold. I really can't wait to see crafting implemented and also some other systems.

    Go TEAM! We are counting on you! Not much out here for good mmo's

    oh and daily log in stuff is a good thing. Do not listen to the nah sayers. Its an mmo for goodness sake, you are supposed to live in game :p

    Download/installation process:
    Very straight forward and doing great for alpha. No issues.

    Client performance:
    Was able to run the game without issue.

    Server performance:
    Can rubberband at times and back track me a bit, especially during peak player counts of course. Other wise, the servers are handling the game very well. Never disconnected me or lagged to the point of annoyance or made it unplayable.
