Actually for a number of reasons, so far.
1) A very innovative class system, reminiscent of Path of Exile.
2) Fun and varying classes. No class plays as the other. And I am yet to see the different classes' playstyles in any other MMO.
3) It's a beautiful game with some amazing vistas!
Can't wait to play Monk ! or maybe Alchemist ^^ or Slayer ! I wanna play them ALL !! =D
And what I enjoy the most is the class system, who u can change classes in one click !
Love that there is no classes. Playing with friends it's fun when you can swap roles in middle of dungeons.
Honestly, there are a myriad of features that I really enjoy about Skyforge - the Prestige system, the sphere-grid-like Ascension Atlas, the diversity of classes and the ability to switch between these classes on a whim, and the Order system, just to name a few features.
However, the one feature that I'll elaborate my appreciation of is the Prestige system. I find it to be a very nice departure from the traditional level-based progression found in most MMOs (such as EverQuest, World of Warcraft, etc.) and from skillpoint-based progression (Pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies, The Secret World, etc.). Personally, I like to think of our characters' Prestige as "power levels" akin to Dragon Ball Z. It's silly, I know, but it makes the game more fun for me when I view the Prestige system from a DBZ perspective.
I also love the many different ways to increase Prestige - obtaining better equipment through adventuring, improving individual stats via the sphere-gridlike Ascension Atlas* using Sparks obtained in adventuring/PvP, or constructing temples and chapels through the Order system for additional bonuses to stats and abilities. The variety of ways to better my character's Prestige is a boon to me, because if I get bored doing one thing (such as doing Region adventures), I can always do something else (such as PvP or squad/group adventures) and still obtain resources necessary to make my character stronger in some form or fashion.
On top of that, if I can't play or have to take a break from the game, the Adept missions of the Order system allows me to progress my character offline as well. I particularly like the 8-hour long Adept missions, since I can set up my Adepts on those missions before I go to work or run some errands. The mission rewards can be used to improve temples/chapels for better stat bonuses (and therefore, even more Prestige).
In short, the Prestige system makes the game feel very accessible to me, since there are a variety of methods, both online and offline, that allow me to progress my character.
*just for the record, I freakin' love sphere grid systems
