We had members that reached max level in the pre launch. It is definitely a casual MMO that seems to focus more on pvp and rp than the grind and raiding. The jury is out on if I like the end game because im not there yet, but so far I am enjoying myself.
I am currently playing this game as a time waster until Aion comes out...I am not totally impressed with it. Quests feel like a chore, feels like I am playing a console game with a bunch of people thats pretty much it...The best time I am having is making costumes for my toon which is Darkness/Sorcery/Supernatural. I agree with a previous poster that PvP is a total gank fest. You either have a PvP build with tons of defense and no offence and just wittle away at your opponent or you just die in it. OR you make a PvE build which you have very little hope in doing well in PvP but you can solo pretty much any mission. I am level 22 and the cost for a total respec for me would = around 200 Gold and each quest might give you 1 Silver lol I have 27 Gold currently after 22 levels.
yeah they messed up retcon cost in beta! the way retcon cost works its also not of mi liking. its not like you can respec, a single power or superstat. noooo you have to respec every desition of power/stat/etc till the power you didnt want. that by far is the most anoing thing, its the worst idea for a respec ever. specialy if you were having fun with a build or what ever and boom nerf bat or a update to other power or something and the cost to test those new things are imposible to reach. the best part of the beta was like one week where the retcon cost was free, man there you coud test everithing and we where having a blast.
