Such intrigue

Nothing I say is new here that many don't know about.
But what VR is doing here is instilling intrigue. It may not be the first time, it happened before in first generation mmorpg's but then it was lost completely. Vanguard Saga of Heroes touched on this but again it stopped. They're not using cheap gimmicks or full dynamic events that get old quickly. They're actually allowing the player to mold their character into something truly deep. The player could show up to a group event with "particular set of skills" ( Yes, I took this phrase from the movie Taken). This in it self is a HUGE feature !!!
A few quotes:
Powerful Spells and Abilities: In Pantheon, many of the more rare and exotic spells and abilities are found not at the local trainer but from a wise sage hiding in the depths of a dungeon or at the top of a remote tower.
Colored Mana System: These exotic abilities create an opportunity to sub-class your character.
The Perception System: Wizards will be able to perceive things that a Warrior cannot. Through prayer, a Cleric may gain insight into an area, or a creature, that a Rogue could never know...... This is my favorite.
Situational Gear: Items that protect against climates/atmospheres (areas of extreme heat or cold, or disease, or absolute darkness).
By now I know what your thinking "I know all this, what's your point ?"
The point is HUGE character development as the #1 feature.
If you really want too be that great healer it goes beyond button skill, you actually searched out skills knowledge and items that no others have..... Your different !..... You made yourself that way !..... How much variation has yet to be revealed, but the intent is their.
Their is no single game with such potential intrigue. No other game with a world full of mystery.... If so by all means let me know !
