Well there's plenty of time to convince her. It's in beta. They have a beta weekend every month. Launch in maybe July or August.
But it's pretty darn amazing. Have a look at the link I posted up before.
The removal of the holy trinity in MMO's is a big deal.
No more tanks, healers and dps.
Everyone plays whatever role they want, damage, support, ranged. All classes can switch between the roles depending on what weapons you have equipped.
It plays like a first person shooter, you need to dodge in and out of the opponents attacks and pick the right time to go in and stabby stabby (if you're melee). You can't just stand there and smack each other like traditional MMO's, cause you'll be killed.
If you like exploring, there are hidden dungeons and stuff everywhere that's not marked on the map, so it rewards those people. Quests are dynamic, so no more Fedex questing. Go somewhere and there's something to do.
PvP was crazy. A massive map (think 3 x the size of barrens) that 1000+ people can fight over. It's server vs server vs server, so it's pretty large scale.
