or is it just another grindfest ?

Well IMO it's actually a really neat game and sometimes you can find yourself doing some pretty neat stuff, and it's definately fun to play with different builds. BUT it is DEFINATELY a GRINDFEST! thats the only downfall, you have to grind the living shit out of your chars to get them to a decent level to make them worth playing, and then if you decide you dont' like your build or just don't like your character anymore then it's gonna take you another long ass time to rebuild a new character:/ so IF you don't mind putting the massive amount of time into this game then yes it's worth playing, but if you are looking for something where you just hop on few mins own some noobs then leave, your best bet is still first person shooters

you need ALOT of patients to get this even fun i had such a hard time getting to 20 its a ton of grinding..then u become a trader at 20 then get ready for mass gankage from ninjas...gah only play this if you got alot of time on your hands

True @ the two posters above lol, I just started trying to play the game, put in about 4 hours at least, in total, and only got the guy to level 10 x_x

And I doubt my build is anywhere near good, using a spear, putting all stats into strength, etcetc...gah, no friendly players @ all.

lol srybutthen u are a noob u can gain lvl 20in a cpoule of hours lvl 40 needs to mee about 2 weeks and 80 is max atm
its makes fun ifu have some pll to play with i nice gilde or some friends
