Mail Call: Darkfall Expansion and NA Launch

Dis be what I go in me mail today:

Player housing! Sekasi?

Darkfall! Not so sekasi?

I'm hearing a lot of negativity about this game so I just ain't that interested at the moment though at one time, it was on my want to play. It certainly does look like they put a lot of work into their expansion...the graphics do look pretty tight, though I hear the UI is still pretty shitty.

Has anyone out there tried the EU version? And if so, is it worth giving it a go?
