Hello,
I was looking for a mmo that actually feels like an adventure and where you are encouraged to party up, stop at an inn and continue your journey.

I've played games like WOW, GW2, TERA, BDO, FF14 etc but they all feel like a race to max level to then mindlessly grind endgame content. Noone talks anymore and taking a break makes you feel left behind.

I was suggested this game which seems to be in a development state, yet I see people who are happy to have played this game for 3y? So I wanted to know:
1) Can this game be considered playable or it's in a early testing stage?
2) Will it feel like a race to max level or it's more focused on the journey and interaction with players?
3) Are there inns :>? It's my favorite part of an adventure game. When playing skyrim I would often stop by a tavern, hear the music, have a drink and a chat and sleep before moving on. I loved the atmosphere.
4) Is the "talent" system similar to path of exile, where you can be any hybrid "class"?

Thank you
