I've been playing for 2 weeks now as a Monk. Taking lots of solo quests, solo because it's like any experience with lots of strangers. You only actually meet them at main areas (quest grounds are reserved for you) and their just as annoying as any group of humans. Shouting, belching, begging and playing the air guitar.
Game play is nice although I'm finding low level monsters give no experience. However, I must question peoples tactics. I've played as part of a party twice now and observed the weirdest combat tatic. What you do is find a huge bunch of NPC's with special abilities. (Mean ones who will hunt you down like a dawg) then rush at them using the gaming equivalent of showing your buttocks whilst insulting their mothers...
