The ability to dye armour on the fly is an awesome touch. Dye is a collectable that you find on random opponents and unlock it, changing your colours as much as you want! But I have to say, one of the best things about this game, (aside from gold farmers) is the community! When your character goes down or dies, there are always tons of people to "rez" you. As well as the help in achieving simple quests. While there is guild options, you could play this through all by yourself and still have an enriching experience. Great game!
