The game isn't bad.
I enjoyed the fishing and the exploration aspects. I wasn't really a big fan of how forced the story was (or at least felt like it was), very few MMO's make their story interesting enough to care about. However, flat out grinding did not feel like it was ever going to be rewarding, at least at low levels.
I tried out Knight and Thief. Thief was pretty fun, but Knight felt extremely underwhelming. I didn't expect them to be super strong as they're tanks but the sheer difference between Thief and Knight when doing things by myself is a tad insane. I was having trouble killing random mobs my level as a Knight but Thief swept the floor with them, it was bad.
I also did one of the world bosses, and it felt like a tad too much of a meat shield. The combat mechanics were fun but I suspect the game expected more of us to be there, as it had around 4 million HP and only 10 people were there doing at most 500-1000 damage with strong attacks. It took a tad too long but it could be fun in larger groups.
Fishing is fun, so is running around looking for crap and doing the exploration rewards (although some of them seem broken or just unclear, like talking to NPC's that don't appear to exist). I wasn't a big fan of the focus on getting 50 during a one week period during the beta event, but otherwise I think this was a decent event.
I'll definitely check out the game when it leaves beta.
