This is a PM LiamTheZerg sent me when asking about the beta (He asked for me to post this on thread as he was busy)
You basically hit it spot on. It's really fun to play when i wanna take a break from Dota2(which is rare) but it's also just chill and the skills are cool. What's also really cool is contrary to most MMO's, you don't have a lot of those pricks that think they're better or flame, so most people are nice. I've had like 3-4 people come up to me and give me free stuff and at the same time, maybe its only for beta but idk, when you start it gives you the option to ask for help from a Dev/Staff member and they're so nice, the guy that helped me is on my f/l and helps me/tells me about future possibilities if i ask for it.
There are mini-games and secret places/easter eggs coded in, so it's really diffierent in that instead of telling you/showing you on the map where all this shit is, you have to find it yourself or stumble upon it. As is typical of the guy who made Katamari, he's made a really unique world that's full of unknowns, which is something i've been looking for forevs. Finally, the skill system while being the same old kinda, is also really unique. It's really nice for people who don't have years to devote to getting a skill to 99(Runescape why?!?!) because it trains while your offline. So for example, i'll queue up Animal Kinship IV, it'll finish while i'm in class, and i can queue up another from their website(on my phone) so it trains while i'm out. If you have any specific questions, ask away, i'll try to answer as best i can

It sounds great for just relaxing! I personally don't feel like playing a game such as Sc2, PoE, or BW sometimes as I just want to take it easy and I end up doing nothing. This game sounds perfect for that.
