You DO NOT have to go solo after level 10. There are plenty of ways to solo now that the game has been updated to better suit parties that are lower then 6 people. You can solo just fine now. It might not yield as great of results as partying will but you can still do it.

Odin is having a server migration because there are over 5000 people on the server at any given time. The community is NOT dead there are still tons of people around.

Race doesn't matter anymore. All race does is tell you what gear you will need to buy instead of the majority.

Parties are faster paced and if you are fighting for 1 minute then resting for 3-4 then there is something wrong with what you are doing and you are probably in a party filled with 2 monks a thief and 3 red mages.

Parties are even faster now that 2handers got a major damage buff as well.

From what I'm hearing it sounds like you played back in 2005 and didn't keep up with any of the updates. You need to pay attention to what how the ****ing game changed and stop trying to make an accurate opinion based off something that got patched ages ago. It's not the same game as it used to be. Period.
