As others have said, it's still free to play right now so you can mess around with no cost. And who knows, if you stick into it enough you'll have a heads up when the juicy content comes (or PS3 launch) or even spend time with another character if you feel like experimenting.

Game still does have it's pros and cons. It's easier to level to an extent and the most recent update made a big fix to the gear durability system, but the fatigue system is still in place and you may hit walls and not feel like you can do anything for a while when that happens.

Leves, story quests, and the new side quest system still makes up for the majority of the game content. The side quests are straight forward and depending on where you are, may or may not provide you with gear you'll find useful.
