I tried it last year during their E3 For Everyone event, it was alright. The graphics were really nice.
I recently went and looked at it again when deciding to leave WoW (and after playing the Trial of the Isle for EQ2). Limited race choices (4 or 5 I believe), limited classes (again, 4 or 5).
It looks like it would be a great Diablo II killer, if it was released 4 years ago. But it seems to lack a lot of the MMORPG elements that I look for in a game.
Their PvP is better than what's in WoW, but then I don't particularily enjoy PvP to begin with, and if I wanted PvP I'd go back to playing a FPS like America's Army.
But if you're looking for a casual game with limited capabilities, then GW is probably for you, I just don't think I could spend 30+ hours a week in it like I can EQ2 or WoW.
