Well stated Banshee. From what I can see, the grind is not extent if your talking leveling. I have played my Ninja for about 3 days, not really trying and am about to hit level 50.

BDO has something for everyone, and is actually as close to the UO type of experience, without recall, that has come along in awhile. Kinda, maybe. Th cash shop is mostly cosmetic. It is sure as hell isn't going to give you the high end gear and crap you can get through other games..and no gold selling, period. Don't need that anyway, you can easily make money in BDO, craft the end game gear with some work, and have a damn good time.

Banshee hits it pretty well. The rest is up to KGB to figure out, but one thing that would truly be of great value would be a return to our roots and focus on a few games in closed factions.
