I was persistent in trying to level to where I might get to the good part. 20 levels later, it never came.

Character Creation/Development: In terms of constructing the look of your character, it's just average I would say in terms of options. As you level you procure better equipment naturally, which looks better, but not by much. Interestingly enough, if you play your cards right on the auction house you can afford armor pieces for players at the level cap when you're only like level 10. Seriously, I was buying armor sets 10 levels in advance just because I could. As for skills, I tried just about every class for all 3 races, (3 races, Human, Orc, and Moon Elf, 2 classes each, so 6 build options,) and not one of them didn't feel in some way broken to me. None of them were particularly fun to play or had at least any flash to their moves.
Graphics/Look: The art style is typical of pretty much any Asian mmorpg. There isn't really anything unique about the look of it. Graphically, the world didn't feel very cohesive to me. At times I would literally see bushes fly 20 feet over my head like a flock of birds lol. You can't really enter any buildings or anything, they're just there to make towns look a bit more vast, which doesn't say much considering that the biggest cities are like the size of starting zones in other mmorpgs.
Gameplay/Questing: GRIND, GRIND, GRIND, GRIND! Put on your mouth guard, because there's going to be some grinding. Pretty much every quest is the same. When I play a game, I like to feel involved in what I'm doing and carefully read all of the dialogue. In this case, it took me about an hour before I just hit "Accept Quest," because I knew that I was just going to be killing 10 of something. Chances are, I had just beaten all the quests I could for my level, and still had more leveling to do to get the next quest, had to grind on some monsters, and finally leveled enough to get the quest, which was to kill 10-20 of those same monsters... It was not fun.
Conclusion: It's free, so you can't really get angry at having played it, it's just that you could be downloading Runes of Magic, or Dungeons and Dragons Online, buying Guild Wars which has free online anyway, or just paying for World of Warcraft if you're willing to pay that much money. If you don't believe me for whatever reason, then just see for yourself. If you like the game, then that's cool, to each his own. From my experience however, I didn't care for the game.
