Tech support outside the game has been really good too. In another MMO I play, you’re lucky if you get any kind of reply in a week or two. Responses and live support while logged into the game itself came back within four hours and once within twenty minutes. I’ve had to submit petitions a couple of times because I got stuck or couldn’t complete a quest due to a bug. Besides, I don’t play the game for the community…I play for the game. The one time I have asked for help in the general chat I got loads of helpful feedback. At times I’ve been politely invited to team up with players who are obviously doing the same kinds of quests as me and I’ve had fun with them. But! Quite frequently I have been rescued/buffed/randomly traded better gear from other players who just happened to be running by when I was getting blapped or otherwise minding my own business. I can’t really comment on that… Playing solo means I don’t have any real exposure to it. Other Steam users have also said the community for this game is supposedly “garbage”. The key is getting to know your character class and making the best of how that class works. There’s always something else to do or another way to defeat the enemy.

Does this mean it’s stupid hard? Not at all. Every time I get to go to a new zone I’m inevitably wowed by how it looks. The dedicated solo content for character progression is really neat too. You can tell where someone has put a lot of thought into the more complex quests. But in every zone I’ve been in I always run across quests which I find quite interesting story-wise. Sure, some of the quest content is a bit static (gathering or harvesting quests, for example). Each of my characters have different roles and I’m levelling them in different areas of the game, and each of them has been a reasonably unique experience. Some people have commented on the Steam forums that levelling to 80 is “such a grind”-I don’t agree. I don’t feel pressured to “have” to raid or team up if I don’t want to-which is something I felt other MMOs basically force players into after about level 40 or so. I primarily like this game because of how much solo content it has. I play primarily solo with three characters in various stages of levelling: one at 63 and the other two are in their 20s. I have been playing this game on and off for over a year and recently downloaded it through the Steam client to begin tracking the amount of time I actually put into it.
