congratz to you, sir! nice to see some mmo lovers are responsible people =P (although imo, all the cool people are born in feb, lol)
imo, i got to experience a lot of the stuff in the beta from the awesome ship battles (updated starfox 64, whaaaat~! lol), to the pvp ive had more fun in 2 weekends, than since they ruined wow pvp with bubble stats like resil. the only aspect i didnt get to checkout in detail was the raiding, so im very interested in seeing what thats all about. this is the first mmo in my entire 7+ years in WoW that ive broken away from to actually try and pre-ordered it for that matter. having been a former employee of EA, i have a lot of faith they wont mess this up, as they've got too much money/time/effort invested into it to fail.
i anxiously await the 15th =P
