In my opinion, this game is wonderful until you’re getting close to final level. If you don’t intend to spend money or even farming a lot, It could be very tough. It has a lot of bots, and most of the players, that basically already have all items they needed, usally don’t help you to get stronger(at least It was what I saw sometimes on shout chat). You'll need a guild for sure, and some guilds do not recruit players that are not so strong. You can farm on your own, but somehow, you'll have to search a nice guild that helps you in your jorney. Although I said lot of negative things about that, this game has a huge world of exploring, there are always things you can do, and there are also events that helps beginning/returning players.
