Interesting to see you here... I used to play this game a few years back. I probably didn't get too far but I played on the Fenrir server. This game looks and feels a LOT like the PvE aspect of Guild Wars, and it's quite party oriented.
Soloing in this game is really bad and slow as hell. I guess all GPotato games are like that, because they expect you to buy cash shop items that give EXP bonuses. I never spent a cent on this game.
One thing I did like about this game is the Auction House, which is extremely robust for a free to play MMO. It rivals even Dragon Nest - dunno if you played that but that has a good AH as well, but Rappelz came out many many years before. I think you can find some cash shop items in the AH to buy with regular in-game gold as well.
This game has a job class system similar to Ragnarok Online, not sure if you played that either but your character gets both a Character Level and a Job Level, and after a certain job level you can advance your class. You can advance your class BEFORE maxing out your job level, or you can keep on grinding to gain extra stats and skill points. In this game they call that "overburning". I was trying to do that but I got to the point where the people at my character level had already advanced to the second job and did not want to party with a first job character. I tried grinding it out myself but the exp was so garbage and I just gave up. That's pretty much the reason why I quit.
Also I remember this game has a billion quests so the opportunity for soloing seems like it's there, but it's extremely time consuming to be running back and forth, and the exp bonuses aren't huge. I'm pretty sure a full member party in a difficult dungeon is the best way to level. There is also some strange Fatigue system that somehow limits your grinding. Something about Stamina but I don't remember how it works.
