5. End-game features?
So ya if you guys could respond to those that would be great.

1) Community is still fairly big and strong....surprisingly. This stands true for both EU version and the NA/CA version. Though the NA version seems to have more uh...immature players.
2) The NA version which I am playing is...well its not exactly growing or declining. Its more like at a stalemate. People leave everyday but new people join so...but you only hear about people leaving because they post useless threads on the general section...
3) Yes, tons up on tons. The first 100 levels or so is not bad because quests give decent amounts of exp and there are quests in 5 different towns. Not to mention the dungeons. Imo, skill grinding is the worse of the two: skill grind and level grind. You need good skill rank to be able to survive in hard dungeons and pvp and nation wars.
4) There are variety in classes. Each class is unique in that they have different skills, play styles, etc. Warriors are the 2-handed fighters that deal lots of dmg per hit. Bladers are like rogues where they hit fast and hard. Force Shielders are like tanks with their shield, but they can also dish out good damage. Wizards are....as you can tell, mages, dealing hefty amount of magic dmg per skill. Force Bladers are a mix between magic and melee...I guess you can consider them as magic knights or something. They have debuffs and numerous buffs to aid them, not to mention DoTs from their skills. Force Archers are the ranged class besides Wizards. They have healing abilities, like Force Shielders, but are better at it. Good party buffs as well. They can hold their own with their array of attacks.
5) End-game in Cabal is pretty limited. There are nation wars and end-game dungeons but thats pretty much it. The reason why people leave is because there is no replay value. Once they reach a high enough level to experience everything the game has in terms of content, they get bored. People pvp from time to time, but that gets old pretty fast too. Unless you join an active guild, you won't last long either.
And I am back~ for now. I decided to give the game another try, this time with a blader. Started on the Mercury server. If anyone sees me online, pm me and/or help me~
