I have only had this game for a couple weeks, and I can't stop playing it. There is so much to do! Almost everything in the environment is intractable: plants, trees, water, bushes, rocks, etc.
It does get overwhelming at times because you need every item/resource for something in the game, like weapons, armor, potions, etc. Running out of inventory space is stressful because you have to figure out what you are willing to let go of haha. The crafting system is similar to Monster Hunter in that you have/ can increase the chance to craft more of an item, which is nice.

Each time you level up, you get points to spend on your character stats. You also get them for your weapons, but there is a limited number of points (it caps at level 20) so it is impossible to max out every ability for that weapon. However, the skill trees let you create your own build instead of being locked into one, and you can always respec when you want to try a new playstyle. I am healer/tank so I can support groups but also take on mobs, bosses and corruption breaches solo.

One thing I love about this game is that PVP is optional; you have to flag yourself and can only attack other players who are flagged for it. There is a war/invasion mechanic where you can attack territory of other groups/factions, but I don't know much about it since I'm not into PVP.
Most of the players I have come across are friendly; I've seen many people help other players out in the chats and give positive feedback. I had one person follow me to the next town just to give me cabbage and fiber from the farm I met them at. I thought they needed the cabbage more than me so I left, but it turns out they were just passing through haha. I've also been saved multiple times by other players during the corruption breaches. A random player sent me 300 coin the other day, which was very kind!

Some people get competitive over resources, especially metals. I have had a couple players bring mobs to me to steal my iron while I got attacked. I also chased down a bison just to have someone skin it in front of me after I spent a lot of time trying to kill it. A player also cursed at me for getting to a mining node before them. I think these types of people are few and far between though.

Overall, I think this is a great MMO. it's very addicting and I love playing it. The playerbase isn't too bad either. :)
