I tried the open beta. I thought it was pretty nifty but I'm burnt out on MMO's right now so I'm out for now.

What is the PvE like? Crafting? Fishing?
It's very WoW like in crafting. I did not fish (/gasp). The PvE has EQ2 style graphics (IMO) with WoW like play. The catch with the character progression is that you can proceed in up to three class paths, though they all are related. For instance, in a tanking role you might choose to put points in up to three different classes. It feels different than WoW's three different talent trees probably because there are more than three trees to choose from and also because for each of the three trees you get another ability per 2 points spent in each tree.
There's also a mechanic borrowed from Warhammer online in that events happen that all players in the area can join. As the event is achieved everyone gets a reward based on their level of participation. The events are tied to the Rifts.
