Hi Guys,
in this Thread you can share your personal game experience with each other. I wrote something in the morning for my guild, so i will start.
So far i can give you a short Preview on my time in KR Closed Beta. Dont worry, i wont spoiler you anything:
Beside some connection issues because of bad latency, i have a great time with the Game. Its very different from Ragnarok Online, so dont have to high expectations in that regard, but some things are similiar to RO in this game.

Its really the spiritual sucessor of RO, because of the strong social component. Yesterday i was in a Dungeon called Cristal Cavern, and i fought my way through tons of mobs. There is no instancing, so all players have acess to the same map. I met a whole guild in the middle of the dungeon, who just stand in a circle and used all sort of spells and fighting technikes to fend an army of incomin mobs. It looked really impressive. Because i progressed pretty fast, i was at the 3 Floor before most of the other players. Mobs were friggin strong so i needed to sit down for rest a few times. I made a bonfire for this to make my HP and SP regenerate faster. And guess what? Some nice people came to my side and joined me at my resting place. Even if the language barrier was some sort of a problem, we chatted happy and conveyed our feelings for the game.

The Combat System feels like a Futuristic Version of RO. I recommend Controller Uses, because it has be optimized for this. You still need the Mouse and Keyboard for the main Menu, like distributing State Points or changing equipment. When fighting the enemys you can jumpg to avoid their attack, and even dash away from or go towards them with some classes. you can use most active skills even when you are in motion, so it really feels like a more active CS. Story Boss Fights exclude you from other players and you need to do those alone. They are pretty challenging. I think you can do those also in group, if you make a party. Didnt try it yet though, just saw some other People do it.

The Music is great. Even if the soundtrack contain not as much feel good music as in Ragnarok, you need to break a spoon for them. Much varity in the tracks and some Songs in it too. They did a great job here. They changed the their sort of music, if you compare it to RO, it feels very different, but still it sounds so good.
-
Job Advancment. On of the main Features in this game, and its motivating without end. Every 30 Levels or so, you can advance your class a Circle. I think you all read much about this, so wont need to go into detail. But what i want to explain, is the good feeling i get out of this. Other classes even get their own costumes, so they can look pretty unique. And you can still use your skills from your previous class, those dont vanish. Its more like an upgrade.
-
Character Advancment. Like in RO you can freely distribute your Attribute Points to your Character. This gives you the chance experiment a lot. Chances are you will mess up badly, if you try out to much, but there is also the possibility to find out a valid and great build.
-
Player Shop Function and Auction House. Those exist in this game also. You can open up your own shop every where you want. Like in RO people will see speech bubbles over your head, where you can acess the player Shop. In the first main city people are standing in Plaza and selling their stuff like this. Their is also the classic auction house, so you may not need this. But it still give you a Bazar like feeling, and thats pretty awesome
-
Weapon and Armor Enhancment. You can enhance your own Equipment without a special Crafting class, but, you need the items for it. It can also fail, and destroy the item, so be aware of this. There also gems, you can use to further improve the stats on your Equipment. But you need free Slots on your Item, for this.
-
Crafting. In game you can make our own Items or Equipment if you are 1) a special Crafting Class like: Alchemist or 2) you have the recept and the items for normal stuff. I didnt bother about this too much.
-
Leveling. Lvl cap is at 200 atm. But later you will be able to play much further, i saw in the card zones, recommend lvls between 300-400, so the lvl is fairly higher than in RO. Also leveling get pretty fast right know. I started playing 2 days ago and are already lvl 50. Its not a problem.
Conclusion: The Game feels great. Like a spirit hug from my good old friend RO with better UI, some new stuff and some stuff they didnt get into, like i miss a merchant class. But they did go with time, so after the AH Boom, maybe there is no need for a class like that anymore 
Well, the game really deliver for me. I cant wait to play it with you
