My SO plays this game and eventually talked me into trying it. It's very simple and very grindy, but it does have a certain charm. My time was cut short (about level ~18) since I was blocked from playing on the server I started with when they decided to enforce an IP/location check, and there was no use playing on my own somewhere else so I gave up.

I don't think I could have gotten to far in it anyway, by the time you get to level 50 or so you're talking hours and hours of grinding for just one level, and I've heard that by level 100 it takes weeks per level.
