In 1.5 you can customize even more, length of arms/legs etc, so you can make good dwarves if you feel like it. Also most invisibile walls been fixed with the korean launch, most of this is localisation as you mentioned.
Lvl12 scout? how about go and do your ascension quest and become ranger/assassin? ;)

Gonna give it a shot, probably going to pre-order a copy. :D.

By the sounds of things so far it seems like a good game. Hopefully i can get into it so i can finally -gasp-, stop playing WoW :P.

GoGamer had a 48 hour deal for the full collector's edition with preorder code for only $39.99. I jumped on that shit. Unfortunately with the size of my HD I won't be able to play the beta until I get a new one.

For everyone that has played this game... how is it so far? Is it similar to WoW? Is it really demanding on hardware? And how big is the game in general?

It has similarities to wow, but the biggest difference is that they haven't split up pvp and pve like wow(instances, bg,arena etc) and it's more based on world bosses, world pvp. Yes there are group/raid instanced but not many compared to the world bosses.
It's not demanding on hardware, I run 40-50fps in group and solo(I admit I have lnoger loading time than others) with 3ghz singlecore and 1gb RAM and a cappy graphic card( radeon 9800 pro), though when I engage in bigger pvp(30v30 and above) I suffer pretty heavy fps loss ~10-15fps. You can check system req on wiki or other places through google.
It's not as big as wow area-wise, compared it's pretty small, atleast in version 1.0, though that's understandable as big areas will spread out world pvp etc, which can hurt it.
