I am thinking about getting this game, but have a few questions!
Firstly, this is a MMORPG, it is going to have some sort of grinding. So how bad is the grind? This applies for leveling up and for other areas, such as getting good items and so on.
Secondly, explain this combat system I have heard about. At the moment all I hear people say is "it's brutal and you can trample people with elephants". Is it fun basically?
Thirdly, how balanced are classes and PVP in the game?
Fourth, as far as classes go, how much variety is there? Both between different classes and among same classes (can two characters of the same class play in a variety of different builds and ways for example?)
And finally, in comparison to WoW how well designed is it? Shitty like WoW where to do something end game I need a build that deals +2.37362% damage and I need to do about 7 other "near end game but not quiet" dungeons to get equipment that deals +1.66459% damage so I can finally do the end game dungeon I wanted to. Or can I not worry to much about having the right build and all these items but still play decently at any part of the game?
Also, other than supposed awesome PVP and stomping on people with elephants what other sort of features does the game offer that set it apart from other MMORPGs (such as WoW offering instance dungeons)?
