Combat is like most F2P MMO's where you have to create your character around a certain build and using a certain race to align with the class and build you are going for will definitely make a difference in the dps. Equipment works like most, get Better gear deal more damage. Their game has an online auction house where you can sell in game materials, gear, pets, etc. with this auction house it allows you to sell any and every item for payed for currency so going in as a Free player you have to keep an eye out for what is selling most or any seasonal and limited times events come around. Grind it out for the items that sell a lot, vanity items can sell for quite a few diamonds as well. Basically, if you are free to play there is a huge grind a head of you. You can also purchase nearly everything including VIP status with diamonds, the only thing you will miss out on is the Diamond purchase bonuses. It is an okay game from the short time I played, kind of clunky and looks like something I would have played in the early 2000's like Silkroad or Corum. Graphics are alright and well, it's a free to play. So have fun with a grind fest if you decide to play it.
