One advice for all of you ... WAKE UP.
I played this game almoust 4 years and its crazy grind, too much hours you lost in your life ... why? for fun?
yeah, this game was great ... WAS.
Well, pvp with people with same lvl is fun, jobs with people with same lvl is fun, trades with people with same lvl is fun too. But you allways will have a purpose in this game ...lvl up to be better. ALLWAYS. That is the core of the any mmo game.
But remember, even you think is fun when you are lvl 40/60 and get owned by players 80/90 doesn't mean is fun for all.
This game had a very potential, excllent engine, but ... joymax do nothing to turn the game more enjoyable. I believe this kind of games with ALOOOT of grind are in the final days. Too much new games is there with news sytems to lvl up and have fun .
Now, people from Venus, when they believe had a excellent comunity ... You are a Joke

You dont pay any silk? hmmm let me gues, what you do to log in against server traffic? Oh, you need nodc client? No? how many times you try to connect? how many minutes you lost trying to connect? In a week is a some hours. How many DC crash you have? oh, lets do it again, username, password, code ...... server traffic ... close client.
Now, if u have a pentium 4, with normal graphic card and 1gb ram, you need mooore time to init the game all the time yo get traffic message lol ... This is a game? find definition for a word GAME in google.
Ah! This game has a Fortress ... Amazing, and they will put the second fortress ... Amazing uh? What? You never participate in fortress war?
Why? this is because Joymax think the fortress war is better Thursday morning? Even when in America is like 4/5:00 AM? Who played that? Koreans? japanese? oh, wait, they have a server ... hmm interesting
How many post you see to ask for joymax change the day for Fortress? or maybe change the Hour? No, They are Defs.
I bet for the new fortress is like mondays 10:00 AM europe time.
Have a good time, i'll continue playing a GAME Warhammer and still waiting for AION
Again ... WAKE UP and try to don't be hacked.
Yesterday, friend of mine was hacked ... of course he quit
