It's said that the game will be able to handle 10000 concurrent players, which is impressive in itself, but it's not very realistic considering how that's about three times Everquest with all its expansions. To facilitate this movement is point-and-click based, instead of WASD. This has upset a lot of testers, but it's not a big deal if you liked how Dungeon Siege, Neverwinter Nights, or Diablo 2 did it. Luckily the game uses an excellent pathfinding engine, which makes sure that movement is a little less frustrating than otherwise. Wish does need to resolve a fair amount of movement and camera related things, but considering how it's just beta 1 it's doing alright. Unfortunately compared to some of the high-profile MMORPGs it looks a bit below par right now. The beta gameworld is quite big, and fairly diverse, but it'll need some more rendering related features if it's going to impress those looking for eye-candy.
