In answer to the OP I have stopped playing for now. Enjoyed the leveling to some degree although i have found the mechanics to this games combat not massively to my taste. got an elementalist to 80 leveling was fun and easy IMO. I think the thing that has stopped me playing this for now is that for me its abit of a shallow experience and i think i prefer something with more depth. I guess I expected the game to open up more when i hit 80 but soon realised that I would be doing nothing new and I prefer something more. Im still checking the forums though to see if there are any changes or anything new coming and prob will do for a while. I think this game is more for the casual player rather than someone who seeks real depth from a game. And before im alittle flamed as that seems to be the trend on these forums, im not bashing the game im just saying its not for me. Will the game survive? of course it will its a fantastic looking smoothe game with alot to do. its just more achievment unlocking than it is progression based and thats not to every players taste.
