As a newb to the game, so far I am enjoying that you start with NOTHING! You have to build yourself up. I like that it seems that even if you have another character in another world, both your characters wont be the same even if you give them the same type skills. I like how there are female pictures for your character and I enjoy that there is 4 of each per class. Honestly Im only on lvl 2 or 3, but its going quicker. I almost gave up the other day b/c I didnt understand fully about the exp. points so I was doing a ton of work but not moving up. I also like how it seems that depending on what you do, you can follow quests more, or if you like the team work, then town living would be fun.
Oh, I like the forums and the guides too. Seems some people took a lot of their time to help people who are just starting and so far Ive not encountered any rude people on the msg boards(thanks lol).
Anyway, thats just my .02
