    Thats to prepare you for the unbelievably dull grind in order to level ;)

    Have played many typical korean grind games, in Aion beta i got to 33 in 2 days just to get the gold pack with a lot of questing not done, typical kill 10 of mob etc, but i would think it's changed a bit to be classed as a grind game ?

    (It has been modified since release).. but my experience at the time was a 2 hour group grind per bulb (1/10th of a level) while in the 40's... Probably not helped by the amount of people trying to level at the time given the limited zones for levelling at that time..

    Not a horrendous grind compared to some Asian MMO's, but definately longer and duller than any western MMO I can recall in recent years. Part of the issue (for me anyway) was what seemed a poor implementation of a pvp zone, so it was a grind towards and end game that I didn't like.. which probably made it feel a lot worse..
