5 -- It's easy to understand why the NDA wasn't lifted until right before the release.
....They knew.
It easily has the potential to be something much greater, but the first patch doesn't fill me with confidence about that.

Honestly!? A 4 no more no less!
Grade? "I" for Incomplete. The game was clearly rushed out to meet the deadline of the TV series and it shows.. oh boy does it show. Last night I found yet another bug, that didn't frustrate me it instead made me laugh. My characters head vanished. So I spent some time running around as the headless dunebuggy rider. Others could see that I had no head as well, so that was double funny. Sadly right as I was about to take some screen shots my Internet fuzzed out and kicked me off the game and the glitch was fixed when I signed back on.
There is a really good core mechanic to this game in the shooting and the like work. They just need to hammer out the bugs, tune some of the missions to be more balanced with the number of people in the area working on them ((Some solo stuff is too difficult, other stuff is too easy if even 1 other vault err.. ark hunter shows up)), and expand the stuff to do at cap.
If they can just handle the bugs and tuning I'd say 7.5-8.0 out of 10. If they handle the end game stuff? 8.5-9.0. Either way for $60 I can't complain with the amount of content that is in the game.
In general I can't think of an MMO that I would give any grade other than "I" during it's first month. It's just the nature of the beast.
8 out of 10. Great game, innovative, and there's even more new stuff to come. What's not to like?
I would give it a 6/10 right now.
6/10 at the moment.

In it's current state: A solid 7~7.5 with room to improve depending on what's in the DLCs.

5 - too many things are broken, something that once again could have been a great game ruined by bad management.
- No mute on voice
- Multiple broken quests
- Resetting Stats
- Reload bug
Critical issues that need to be fixed ASAP if they do get fixed 7/10
8. I haven't add the issues people are complaining about. I sometimes get dropped from the server but that's nothing to ***** about. Fun game.
6 - its good, its addictive for no reason I can put my finger on, the IP has incredibly good potential.
If polished, and a lot more content added (and pretty soon by the rate people are burning through whats already there) I suspect Trion have essentially given themselves a license to print money.
If left in the state its in now, with the bugs, not so great communication, patches that introduce more bugs without resolving the bugs they were meant to fix, gated content, etc etc, I can see it rapidly entering "milk it for all its worth before shutting it down" mode.
Would really like to see them use the game to establish the game world a little more though, it still has the taste of a TV/Movie tie-in game rather than an established title in its own right, and to be honest a lot of that could be dealt with by not leaving the explanations to the tv show (and occasional data recorder) so much.
