To start things off, a few days before I left I finally caved and bought Metin2 gold. I know that it is not going to last me more than month but I figured it was worth giving it a shot. So far, its been pretty fun, I stared as an elf unlike the hobbit I made in beta so that I would encounter all new quest and locations. In three days of playing I make it to level 12, and so far the quests have to run something like 15 minutes to turn it in and get back to where I was to continue on, but it is minor complaint. As for the quest themselves, they are not revolutionary by any stretch, but they are decent. I have not gotten to the point of forced grouping yet, but I can see it looming in the near future, and I must say I am not thrilled. I am more soloer at heart who groups for the fun of it. I also enjoy a good grinding session from time to time which this game severly frows upon as quest are about 75% of the experience you gain. I will say that the Cheap metin2 yang is rather interesting but still far from stellar. Attempting to stay away from a formal review as a player.
