Huge seamless word and awesome combat. This MMO is going to wipe the floor, first with TERA, and then all other MMOs. Short of WoW ofcourse.

How is this different from Archeage?

It looks to be pretty much the same except for looking better and it being action combat. A bunch of people left XLGames to go work on this.
Interesting. Thanks. I was just reading on the site that PVP gets unlocked at level 50.
#Update
Another notable change is the increase of the required level to unlock PvP, which is 50 now. It also appears that none of the remaining classes will be available to play in the Open Beta. The Tamer and 3 more classes will be introduced in 2015. The new Region Media will come in Q1 2015, followed by Valencia in late 2015.

The combat is a million times better than ArcheAge, which turned out to just be a huge cash-grab with a pay two win model. Black Desert could become like that as well but I have seen no indication of such, yet.

Here's more on PvP.
What is PvP?
PvP is an abbreviation of Player VS Player which means battle with other players.
PvP Starts at Level 50 (Korean Version of the game).
With one activation, all the characters in the account are activated for PvP.
The name of player with activated PvP has color depending on general tendency and PvP is available.
Even in the region with hostile guild/ siege warfare, PvP is available.
Before PvP is activated, the color of character’s name does not change and will not be attacked.
PvP Notice
-PvP is not available in safe region (village and city).
-In the region where Conquest is going on, PvP is forcibly activated.
-Guild vs. Guild will be present in the game
-When two Guilds are in state of war, PvP is forcibly activated.
-You can drop items upon death
-PvP will be open-world
-Mounted Combat is present
-Siege/Castle Wars are present

And why would you think that the gameplay would be boring and tedious? Talk about being pessimistic.
The only thing I have heard of this game which I dont like is the F2P thing. Other than that this game seems primed to become huge. But yes, since it is not released yet, that is in no way certain.
But, we have had nothing but let-downs released for the last couple of years. Here is hoping this game will be different when it hits the West during 2015.

It has quest-hubs and "reputation" quest grinds.
I think it only has open-world pvp. Throw strategy out the window and welcome the zerg.
I think it only has open-world raid bosses too. Again, more zerg.
People hate instanced gameplay, but there's a reason it was developed. It's because open-world gameplay becomes an unorganized mess, whether it's pvp or pve. It then becomes boring, frustrating, and tedious.
This is starting to look more like Archeage's open-world gameplay the more i read about it.
This.
We had games with huge worlds and awesome combat (TERA etc.) and we know how they ended.
I am really done with hype trains for new MMOS. No more really. We all know how these MMOS actually turn out when you get to play them.
You just described a PvE server.
It is fine to prefer the safety of an instanced battleground, but why opt for less options, when you can have it by joining a strict PvE server, while leaving the option for other people to join a PvP one, if they so wish?
After AA I'm more wary of Korean made games being so poorly coded that hackers / botters have a field day ruining the game play for others.
Before I get too excited about this title I'm going to want to see evidence that the publishers/developers have this problem firmly in control before I consider giving it a try.
I realize it can never be eliminated, not asking for that, but it should be actively addressed and fought at every step of the way as is currently done in many major titles.

I will play it because:
1. It is free
2. It is a new game
Just as important for me is their monetization scheme. I want to see what it really costs before I'll consider wasting any time on this game.
Yup and there we go again, yet another Asian grinder.....
All I see is another AA, was bored to tears with that one to.....but anywayz..
Let the hype begin!!

The combat turned out to be a huge cash grab!!! Wow, I didn't realize that.
Tera is dead since the 2nd week it was released
We heard the same about AA when it was in beta in Korea how asweome it would be with open world, excellent graphics, sandboxish gameplay, how much are AA today compare to 4 years ago when you first heard about it?, thats right not even close to what we were lead to believe how it was.
Yes I am pessemistic for a reason, I dont get hyped no matter how good the vids are, rarely are the gameplay the same.
Kill 5 mobs standing 20 feet away cash in quest, do the same with flowers that the next NPC are asking for, done, go to next area do the same, we have seen the extremly poor quest system Asian games has plenty times before It's how they do it, I really dont think this game will be any different.
Dosent matter how large the feature list are or how sweet the graphic are you stll have to endure tedious Asian grind mentality gameplay which I dont like.
If you enjoy that fine good for you, I dont.
Looks good but...
Gender lock.
Lack of classes.
Domination of melee classes.
Same LP with diffrent name present.
