Everything Frank said is true, however I must add that at first it takes AGES to get enough material to make anything at all. The weapon customization is great but sadly you cannot sell your customized weapon when you find a new one. This is realistic but gold is very hard to get on low levels. Of course, as the game name suggests, to fully experience it you have to have a guild. Which is cool is that guild members wear their own custom flag, so you can easily see who's in what guild.
