So now that D&D online is live has anyone picked it up yet. And if so how about some reviews.

I find it pretty fun, personally. Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time to devote to it at this time, plus my local network is being shitty and I can't get a decent ping most of the day... but from my experience in beta, it was pretty cool.

I've got some nublets chilling on Khyber. Look me up on Hortensius, Tornag, or, of course, Gaius.

Since this is core-only, at least initially, is everyone playing a druid or a cleric? That's what I figured would happen, anyway....

No druids. Classes seem split pretty evenly so far, with paladins and sorcerors falling a little behind.

I have not heard anything good about this game except for the mob AI. I have had friends try it out, and nearly entire gaming forums that I participate in have tried it and so far the responce has been mostly negative.
Pretty much, if you know what you are doing you can cap level in a few days and you have nothing at all to do until they raise the level cap. No PvP, no crafting, no real world to explore. Just dungeon instances and outdoor instances. Hell, some have even said that the outdoor instances were so restricting that they may as well just be dungeons with trees painted on the walls.

Hum if you can cap in a couple of days and not much to do but dungeons then I think I'll wait a little. maybe when the game is more fleshed out I'll give it a try.

Seems like another 12-in-a-dozen dumbed down fantasy mmorpg. Consider me unimpressed

Cmon, even WoW has something to do after you are done leveling...and leveling HAS to be more fun than doing the 130 instances three times each on each difficulty setting.

Quick trips to level caps aren't always bad (I enjoy GW, for instance) but combining that with no late- or end-game is crazy. No PvP? Is it a massively multiplayer cuddle game?
