Some of you may have had a chance to look at this on my machine over the weekend. It's pretty good, and has the most comprehensive character customization system I've ever seen (or at least the most impressive-looking one.)
It's also an MMO. At least in part; it's got the GW(1) model of common towns and instanced adventure-y areas.
Where I think it suffers is in character. It's very earnest and generic; lacking either Diablo's overblown broadly-painted epic narative or Torchlight's whimsical cartoonish violence.
I also worry about balance. All those customization options are going to cause issues, I'm sure. I haven't spent enough time with TL2 to know how well that does on this front, but Diablo 3 (as you'd expect from Bliz) is pretty much spot-on.
But yes, if you like the type of game, I'd definitely say give it a shot.
