So after getting a 7 day beta invite (7 days? That's a bit odd) I decided to buckle down and install it.

Install went quick
Booted Game
Video starts... and can't skip it... okay... greying hair man talking about Alpha... how alpha turns into beta (really?) and how closed beta comes before open beta (Good information to know) 6 minutes later... I should check out the forums for information... and the website for stuff too (Good to know, never would have figure it out)

Finally get into game and make my character, I pick the top server on the list and in I am.
Thrown into the world... no tutorial... no information... nothing... just welcome to the game have fun
So after venturing to an area where I've decided I want to set up camp and not having any idea how to. I try to alt-tab out -> game keeps focus -> switch to windowed mode -> game keeps focus -> close game, check on youtube and the wiki and find out that I need to craft stuff at the starting area -> log back INTO game -> use teleport item to crafting area.
First thing I want to craft, a claim flag to get territory. Needs wood, metal and some rare versions.
I go to find a tree... and spend the next 30 minutes holding down my left mouse button and reading a book to harvest the tree. When the tree is dead I move 2 inches and do the same.
Get the 10 rare wood I need so it's on to metals. Need 10 copper ingots.. that's 1,000 copper ore (Wtf?) and 10 rare copper
So once again... 30 minutes of standing in place (this time for 2 minutes at a time!) and I'm a quarter of the way there... but hey I've gotten a chapter or three done in my book.
Decide I'd rather just read my book -> quit game -> uninstall -> might come back when it's not a massive grindfest with absolutely nothing to do but hold down your mouse button
