I only played it briefly because I just couldn't get into it, but to be fair I didn't give it much of a chance. I did my classic routine of exploring the town back to front rather than just venturing out and killing things, and got burned out.

Honestly the main barrier to entry at the time was getting it working in a usable and non-ugly condition on the PC. I don't know if this is still the case, but if so be ready to hunt around some wikis and support forums for how to get sensible key mapping, a resolution better than the default (something like 640x480!) and vertical refresh sync to get rid of the tearing.

I expect most have probably moved on to XIV.
