So far I have tried various races and character types thru lvl 6 or so. All the early quests are the same type for all (kill 6 monsters and bring me their pelts, etc.) and it gets boring; so no more of that. The melee ones are a drag. The melee combat has the look and feel of turn based combat; the paladin, warrior and hunter are all the same. And the warlock had to melee becuse he couldn't kill anything before it got to him. The hunter has ranged attacks, but has to finish them off with a dagger.
I was about ready to give the game up, but then I started playing an undead mage and she rocks. Kills fast, levels fast and no turn based combat appearances for her. I would have been playing right now, but they shut down the servers--gave us 12 minutes notice though which was good. I have played solo so far. I don't like to party up until I know what I am doing. Also the early levels lend themselves to solo play.
You have to watch your back. Stuff comes up behind you and attacks.
