While I'm waiting to see what's happening with 9D, I'm playing this
http://lastchaos.aeriagames.com/In 2 days I've made a level 21 Titan and can already solo my first dungeon. It's pretty involved with crafting, farming, mining and raising pets and I haven't quite figured out how to do it all effectively yet.
Each time you gain a level, your stats automatically increase. However you only get 1 chi point to place in 4 possible attributes. As you grind you get skill points. You can do quests (repeatable) as long as you're within the level to get XP and bonus skill points. Therefore less grinding, loads of skill points to get you powerful earlier on. My char is essentially a warrior (melee) class and I can grind on red mobs (7 levels higher) and kill them with 2 hits.
The drops are pretty plentiful although I haven't worked out what the equivalent of BEs and GTs are yet. However you do drop slotted clothes and refined weapons ! So far have had a +4 axe and a +4 staff drop.
The players on there are pretty friendly. Within my first day I had a person come up and offer me clothes for my class and gold.
So if you decide to play, look for me on Auzura-Europe-5. It's a newbie server. My char is
aBAcus
