Is Cabal really worth playing?

I just started an account last weekend, and I haven't gotten very far. I'm a force archer and I know that once you play games the beginning is always the most boring part. I've seen videos on youtube of high level players killing things, and it looks fun! Is it worth playing? I need your opinions. At what level does it start to get fun?

The worst scenario that I don't want to get into is investing time in a game only to realise that it actually sucked.

Like you, I very recently started an account. Actually, I started getting back into MMORPGs only very recently and made the conscious decision to start with Cabal because it's the most old-school-type MMORPG with graphics that I can still tolerate and gameplay that promises to be relatively groundbreaking - for its time. I've even taken to writing more about gaming in general - starting with Cabal - in my blog, linked below.

I'm currently 20 levels in and it's starting to feel repetetive, however as you yourself note, the beginning of MMORPGs are usually the most boring parts. I'm very eager to get to level 30 as soon as possible, because at that point the skill combo system is unlocked which makes combat more interesting (or so I'm told).

At level 10, you unlock a battle aura that boosts your abilities, and at level 20 - which I just arrived at - you get an even more powerful aura. To charge these auras, you have to kill monsters. That much is the variety of combat you have pre-30.

If I reach 30 soon, I'll let you know what combo skills are like.

In case you want to party up, I play on Mercury.

No it isn't. I posted the reason above.
