1. How big is community roughly?
I have no idea, but in the Venus server, pretty much all 20 channels are filled to about half way full at the peak of the day. It's about 1/3 full when it's late at night or early in the day

2. Will it grow?
If it does, it won't be significant. There are always people popping in and out of different games, and to keep track of all their movements and get a net gain or loss of players is not very easy to do.

3. Lots of grinding?
From level 1 thru 40 you'll be doing nothing but quests to level up. From level 41 thru 95, you will do quests for maybe 50-80% of your level, then grind the rest of it. Past level 95, you're on your own. However, there are dungeons you can run for great EXP and good money. When I was level 9x, 10x, I could level up from doing two dungeon runs. The runs took about 1 hour, 1 hour and a half each. 2-3 hours for a level at 9x, 10x is BEAUTIFUL considering the level 170 cap.

4. Variety in classes?
Six classes that are all completely different from one another. They all have their ups and downs, yet they are all balanced to the point where the deciding factor of a PvP is being lucky enough to deal a critical hit or not.

5. End-game features?
Nation wars everyday at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific. These are available for everyone level 95 and up. It took me 3 weeks to reach level 100. PvP is available the instant you sign in. Crafting is an indefinitely long process that almost no player could hope to complete - if you enjoy crafting then you've got yourself set. Clan/guild wars - join a clan and fight against another one.

Beyond those, you can always farm dungeons to improve your equips and become very rich.

Also, you can proceed to max out all your skill ranks so that your character can reach maximum potential.

So ya if you guys could respond to those that would be great.
