I am always looking for good MMOs, especially those with an in depth class system. I've looked PG a bit but can't seem to find what the main draws are to this game.

The game is still being updated and has a niche following. Guild I am in has about 20 to 30 ish people who play regularly.
You start with nothing more than the clothes on your back, and the sword and rations in a nearby pack. After a tutorial that may last about 30 seconds the leash is removed and everything else is up to you.
There are no levels. You are what you do. The more you use a weapon or practice a skill the better you will be at it. The more often you do physically demanding activities the more endurance you will have.
If you want to learn magic be ready to work for it. The game makes you aware it exists through npc conversation and such, but doesn't tell you how or where to learn it, or at least I haven't encountered that. You must seek it out in play (or cheapen your experience and look it up online.)
Some of the more dangerous foes can curse you harshly, and it may not happily disappear by itself in a minute or so. You may have to actively seek a cure and suffer with your affliction until you find it.
You can become a druid with great difficulty, but it isn't just a set of game mechanics added to your character and nothing more. With that great in game power comes great in game responsibilities that must be fulfilled.
You can be cursed with the form of an intelligent animal and have your play confined accordingly until you are cured. Or, you could choose not to seek a cure, retaining and developing your new form as you see fit.
If you find these kinds of things intriguing, and several similar I didn't touch upon, P:G will probably interest you. If not, you're probably better off looking elsewhere, as it is mainly these unique qualities that make the game worthwhile despite the poor aesthetics, clunky interface, and odd performance issues in limited areas.

Instead it was a theme park with some more character variation and without quests.
Did this change?

It has the same poor implementation and lack of that Wow and all the clones have.The combat is NOT in your control,the outcome is already predetermined.
So an example,i have several choices,oh this is great...wrong,ok i can heal for 10 but he hits me for 15,waste of time,losing ground,dumb idea.
Oh i have this buff to up my damage,wrong you spend turns buffing and not damaging and you only have 7 turns to win the fight before you die,waste of time,losing effort.
Or you have this ability spell that "can"lead you to victory but the bar will only allow you to cast/use that ability 6x,you need 8x and your dead in 7 lol,yep thanks for playing,boring handcuffed design.
Thing is you will get caught up in the fluff for maybe a month or two depending how much stuff you try and experiment with but eventually you will realize the combat is handcuffed and you are really not in control.Boss regens is another terrible lazy design that again handcuffs the outcome.
If the dev had a team making art assets and improving the world and less emphasis on dungeon fighting,implemented the ideas with less restrictions then sure it could be a really good game.
