It's pretty, but it is horribly tedious to start. I've started on .de, on the closed beta, and on the open beta, and I don't have the patience to start on .net. From what I hear from TW people, it's probably going to get tedious again when you start gaining other towns. I'm finding taking a second town to be tedious as well. Every time I think I've done all I need to for a second town on .de, I find there's more. The game is losing it's appeal fast.
