The pet system makes your characters rather competent, letting them adjust to their surroundings as they tame beasts to fit that certain areaGetting a hard hitting pet will greatly compliment your hard hitting warrior, making it faster to kill monsters thus increasing the amount of exp and jp you gain over time.   Mounts are attained rather early in this game compared to other MMOThis is a big plus for players since running around with a mount makes it easier for them to reach certain places without having to cry about mobs killing them along the way.    
 

Monstrous Clones
  If there's something I would want to rant on, it would probably be the game's lack of monster modelsLooking like someone else is bad enough but being killed by a monster who looks like its low-leveled kin makes it darn annoyingI recall leveling around with my twins, constantly bashing everything in my way when suddenly I was struck down by the same monster I was farming on for a couple of hours.

 It didn't take me long to realize that the monster who killed me was called 'Paradise lost', who was a lot stronger compared to the bone 'thingies' that I was farming onInteresting features?   Rappelz is by far the only game (I may be exaggerating) that players OWN a certain dungeon-- yes thats right..you can OWN your very own dungeon!If a guild beats the time attack record upon completing a certain dungeon (provided that they killed all the bosses and the guild who owns it), that guild will be crowned as the new owners of the once instanced (non-persistent) dungeon.   Owning a dungeon allows you to tax people who use itIt is pretty slick, especially if all the alpha players are in one guild..now that's an age of tyranny! LOL  
The Verdict

  If I were to judge this game, I'd say its pretty goodGrinding is a total bore at times but this game really made me look at things through a whole new perspectiveThe game lacks a variety of stuff like character aesthetics and background musicThough this may seem like something to complain about, everything else pretty much justifies the problemWith a good community and a lot of possibilities, Rappelz is a must play MMO.
