If you're familiar with MMOs, then Lost Ark is your semi-typical MMO where you grind endlessly without an end in sight. I say semi-typical because instead of grinding bosses for a 0.1% chance at a rare item, you grind the game for money and materials in order to hone your gear as high as possible so that you can kill said bosses quicker.
I've spent about 1,300 hours so far in Lost Ark and I've finally lost the drive to play this Fall after logging in daily since February. No regrets since I still enjoy the game when I do login, especially the visuals and nice character skins. I really enjoy the isometric view, it's perfect for destroying mobs of enemies with (sometimes overly) flashy moves unique to each class.
Throughout my 1,300 hour career in LoA, I created 9 characters with my highest being a 1505 GS Sharpshooter. I played this game with 3 other people, each of them slowly phasing out their time until I was the last one standing. Whenever we do get together, the game is just as fun as it was when it was new. With that said, it can still be a (mostly) enjoyable "single player experience" even as you join up with random players in raids (party finder is the only sane way to go, I only matchmake instances when I'm feeling chaotic).
I'm planning to visit LoA every once in a while (mostly to oogle the new skins!), and I'm hoping to pick it up when the Artist class gets released next year.
