Don't believe the hype.

There's only one real crafting system, tailoring, and it's limited at best. There's no PK without stringent authorization and acceptance by the party to be killed.

The mechanics of the system are torqued and unstable, as is the server. There are no quests, and skillsets get nerfed instead of fixed because the staff of coders they have don't have a clue how to do their job. If you pick a stat modifier in character generation that's bugged you deal with it, because it won't be changed or fixed anytime soon.
