i'm still playing it, lvl 28, and just hit a quest wall, leveled up to this point strictly on quests and no grinding. and it was a blast til i got to this point.
the gathering is pretty fun, the game mechanics are good, the pvp is enjoyable (by enjoyable i mean my only experience is getting ganked by assholes 20+ times and actually managing to kill one ONCE (i caught HIM by suprise, as he was getting in position to gank someone else))
