The irony of being smoked out of lurking after all this time by a Skyforge topic rather than a CoH one is not lost on me, but here goes.
There are three different stances for standing still, chosen during character creation and alterable later at a tailor NPC. One end of the slider has a girly stance, middle is normal and the other end has an aggressive/butch stance. I think idle animations are also affected by this choice. Running style is similar, except the slider scales by ten rather than three options. They range from "tee hee, giggle, hair toss" to "heavy warrior coming through, stand aside or be trampled" in looks.
All in all, the game seems promising. It's an instance-based repeatable adventure thing, with quite a few options and a few open world zones. PvP happens on clearly marked battle maps so there isn't any ganking. Although far from a true CoH replacement, Skyforge will serve as a pleasant diversion from the long, long wait. Fun gameplay, lots of outfits to choose from (only color scheme can be changed, no putting together an outfit from pieces here), fairly nice character creator (body can be customized, faces come in presets that can be altered quite a bit).
Open beta starts sometime this summer with one European and one NA server. Apparently there won't be any wipes, unless major bugs happen.
