PVP is FFA on Hammerine, and on other servers its battleground instances/dueling.  You play a male if you pick male in character creation and don't pick Xenoa. 

I liked the atmosphere (even though it has nothing to do with horror). But I disliked the bugs and unfinished feel when I played it about half a year or a year ago.

The game is a money sinking grind fest. Once you hit level 60, the best xp is Jacobs Shrine grinding. Soooo utterly boring!

I started playing Requiem almost a year and a half ago.  Thru the ups and downs, I still love the game.  I buy my prem but I dont spend much in the item mall since I managed to build up a nice collection of things over time.  :)

I love the music, I love the graphics.  I have a nice collection of Screen shots with some nice views.  :)  The raid bosses are awsome especially when you can get a good raid party going :)  I do agree that the grind can be a bit much sometimes, but over all I dont mind it until I get to the last 5% of my lvl... then I get aggitated LOL  Some days it also makes it hard being a high lvl and being one of the ones that has played for so long but only because we are constantly waiting for Requiem to catch up with us.  lol.  

I happen to be lucky in that fact that I still game with some of the same people since I started a year and a half ago.  A handfull of us managed to stick together thru out guilds and such and still game daily.  I think this helps when it comes to the downs of Requiem.  

I have a lvl 75 Sin, a lvl 66 Mystic, and a lvl 50 defender who I have not chosen a job for yet.  My sin is my most favorite and prized character in game, but is also one of the hardest char's to grind.  

In my opinion..  If you have patience and you are willing to go thru the downs as well as the ups as this game grows and changes.. Try it.. GET PREMIUM.  $9.99 USD for one month.. 10 bucks isnt bad for actually trying a game.  You will never get all the benefits of Requiem unless you do.  If you dont have the patience and you want a game set stone and complete.. Requiem is not for you... come back in a year or so :)

Happy gaming !!

Best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol yes the skill system in S2 is better somwhwat all the fillers some classes have is pathetic. I still play cuz once you hit 60 or so and u can do some of the higher lvl dungeons and pvp its fun. I have a 63 protector 51 radiant, 50 tempest, 46 rogue and im curently working on a Battle Mage, but all in all this game is deffinately not a grindfest, and there is enough quests to get to 36 then 36-40 with some grinding, plus you have Ancient temple you can do for massive exp. so really around lvl 35 you get full feels for a character or 40 but if your someone who doesnt have any patience dont even download the game

The thing I don't like is the way they revamped Chaste Sanctum in S2.  They modified it into a RAID Dungeon.  3 total raid bosses.  However, it loses its function as the most thought out dungeon in the game.  RAIDs make poor dungeon bosses.  RoboGuard, Plugger, and Tyrant are the toughest raids, and they are back to back.  Takes atleast 2 hours to kill each one.  They only drop 2 items each.  And no melee can actually fight any of them except protector due to the damage they deal.
