The grind is quite painful in this game. Don't expect to see your family if you want to compete for a castle. This was actually worse than ArcheAge for grinding as there's no hard level cap and everything is RNG - so its soft cap and neckbeards will grind 24/7 just to get one or two levels up on you and at that point the miss chance get's out of control from the level gap... even the leveling up has rng involved, so two characters the same level can have a fairly significant gap in health, if they get bad rolls each level.

Expect to have to roll two sets of gear at all times.. one for building stacks and another for upgrading/using. When one set breaks, you get to rebuild the other. This is probably the epitamy of Korean MMO grinding at it's finest.

The graphics are gorgeous and the animations are amazing in the game though. If you are just a casual who wants to explore and not be competitive, it's alot of fun.

If you want to compete in PvP - make sure you don't have a life, job, family, etc..
