but it certainly has promise. A huge improvement over part 1 in my opinion, though I admit I haven't given the original that much of a chance. The cities are huge enough that checkpoint teleports and npc's that cast speed boost are a huge relief. Some classes solo better than others, but there are times you'll feel overwhelmed by swarms of enemies, regardless of class. Attack styles change depending on the weapons you use. A staff, sword, mace and dagger wielding fire mage has different fire rotations. Experienced some Rift-like group battles, protecting farms from bandit attacks, or invading caves to defeat mob leaders. From what I've seen so far, quite decent for a non-monthly mmo.
