Every single level nets you at least one extra ability, as opposed to WoW (there we go with the comparisons again), which usually granted them every two. Aside from that, there are constant opportunities for better equipment, and plenty of achievements and titles; the latter are reserved for special events and completions in WoW, while here, you can get one for being killed by monsters 10 times. Some are serious ?"The Wise," "The Adventurer" ?while there are several acquired for doing things while naked .

The other major PvE addition is that of Public Quests, which are a marvelous idea. These are small, three-stage group quests to which anyone in the area can contribute. The first stage can generally be done solo, while the second stage usually involves killing monsters that are slightly too difficult to solo, and the third involves a boss ?something that requires a group, like a giant, or a powerful mage. Everyone in the area gets credit for anything they assist with, and downing the boss spawns a treasure chest, which all participants roll for. Those who contributed the most get a big bonus to their roll, and the top rolls get a choice of some powerful loot. These also add to your Influence for each Chapter, which you can, again, turn in for equipment.
