Guess I'm pretty lucky, seeing that I managed to download the entire client in under 1 hour. (9 parts, 100kb/s)
My thoughts about the game: The graphics are great, and the system is much different from a lot of other games. For example, skill damage here does not simply depend on your stats and your level, but instead relies more on how often you use the skill. Because of that, it's possible to be good in eg. both fire and lightning magic instead of just being purely fire or lightning.
Another interesting aspect about the game is that there are several NCP characters which can only be created by doing certain quests. These NCP characters start at the same level which you start the quest, and have special skills only available to them. Some are also hybrids of some classes where they merge support and offensive skills together.
Also instead of just playing 1 character, in GE you can control 3 characters together that mainly consist of attack+support+tanker, attack+attack+support, or attack+attack+attack.
The downside is that it's really easy to AFK in the game, because of the prescence of support units in your own group to heal you, and the ability to auto attack monsters. On top of that, there isn't really much difference in AFK training or training to the maximum at the lower levels, which really sucks for those who can't leave the computer on.
The community also seems to be very...dead. I rarely every see people talk, and even when I go around shouting for help in town, not once has anyone ever replied me.
