Womble, I was in the demo area and north in the 2 villages - Porto Vallum Urkenburgh, the desert area, then I had to go to Florentina and was in Porto Draco, Mascarell, went over the bridge, took the woods there and was in a fortress Ravenmount(?) - so, I did a reasonable large area to find out if I like a game or not.
Lvl 17-20 maybe, sorry, I didn't even keep a savegame.

As I said => no monster respawn and I might give the game a new shot. I even reloaded after I had the first time limit quests to clear the map. If they make respawn an option and I can shut it out... ok. But even then... something I like very much about RPG is the quest part... and this didn't convince me.
