I played a bit of this today, it's f2p and in open beta and seems fairly interesting. It says it's a completely different MMO but seems pretty the same as the others currently. The only thing that seems different is this odd mechanic where a lot of stuff you do requires Labour points which you acquire over time, so to do things like build a house you need to stay in game for hours.
Also, you don't just buy a horse, you get a foal and have to spend a few minutes growing it which is kind of fun. Also, outfits don't seem quite as gratuitous as many games which makes a nice change.
Here's my character:
And this is her on her horse, makes me rethink the whole gratuity thing:
Still, seems like it might be interesting if it's not as grindy as I hear it is. It's in open beta now and going to be released fully on the 16th. I'm on the EU server Dahuta.

There's a body attached to the head, you can see one of it's hooves. For some reason the game gives you your horse folded up in a basket :D

Here's a pic of mine and Ella's day out as elves.
Shortly after that picture was taken, Ella's Elk died, respawning it caused it to die all over again. It was quite a harrowing experience.
Also, the game loves miniskirts, not always a bad thing but this is what you wind up seeing when you go swimming.

I didn't choose that camera angle, that's the default swimming camera angle.
