Anyone signed up for this?
Anyone know enough about the game itself to give a qualified opinion?

applied but i have absolutely no clue what's the game even about
just watched the trailer that was released months ago.
it's turbine taking care of it right?
back few years ago i played for a while Asheron's Call 2 that was run by Turbine. At this time it had some amasing gfx compaired to DAOC and other games on the market.
Theme is a classic so might be an interesting game.

I'm wondering wether they're even trying to apply anything like the original ruleset. Would be kinda cool to play a real RPG online with other people. I like complex character generation/development. I'm hoping there's either no or restricted PvP. Would be no fun to be running around as a L5 & get roasted by some L100 Wizard on a Dragon =/

You mean Original as in first edition of the D&D rules or just original as in the current D20 rules?

The original D&D first edition (which you could only get by mail-order from the USA & was effectively just a bunch of photocopied A4 sheets) was by far the best set IMO, as it left the most to the imagination & provided the most room for creativity on the part of the DM. However it wouldn't be much use as the basis for a computer game due to it's being so vague.
I had a quick glance in Inet & D&DO looks like it's based on the current AD&D ruleset. Looks quite interesting TBH. I Didn't get as far as seeing if it had any PvP tho (ran out of time).

I've got every Dungeons & Dragons rpg manual ever made in pdf format...and tbh I would never wanna see a rpg again that looks like the first one
actually, I think D&D is a really weird rpg...awsome worlds..but if you read their about their creatures they are kind of always like <lives blablabla usually wear blabla bla..> and almost always ends with stuff like <hostile and attacks on sight> lol
And if you check the first rule sets for D&D it had kind of ONLY fighting skills and thats bout it.. I would like to see Rolemaster as a mmorpg (but with a nice world and less flaws in its system...it used to be possible for a cat to do serious wounds through scale armor if he was just lucky with its rolls
)

Had a key from planetside myself, played the low res client.
Impressions:
Interface is poor.
Graphics are low/average.
Stories are nice.
Conclusion:
Many work to do imo.
