It's always hard to start old P2P games and catch up all the people who've been playing there for ages (it's however much easier in a few games like WoW where you can solo most of the leveling content). You need alot of motivation for that^^

According to what I noticed during my few days there, there's some grinding (hunting) and you cant do it solo : the game is group based. It's good for socialization, rather bad when you dont know everyone to help you to start.
