Some experiences, and a couple of questions...

...So I've pottered round the jungles for 3 or 4 days now, nailing anything that came to me looking (I assume) for free food; with guns, perforating them with knives and melting them with acid...
...I've restarted...alot...after realising my build wasn't right or becuase I was a moron and spent 45 points on something I didn't ever need which actually does the same as something I already have, but a little worse....
....I've miraculously turned something's eyes and other intestinal parts that seem to fly off the animals as they die into cool looking staves, and dug up beansprouts to turn into big swords...
...I've been incredibly impressed with the graphics engine and quickly-fadingly impressed with the creature AI...
...I've learn the con colors are totally useless and that hoards of black-con worshipers really make a bad day if you pick a fight with one...
...I've gotten past lvl 50 and got a title that I display with somewhat pre-pubescent pride...
...I've gotten worryingly used to hitting warp speed every so often when im exploring and aggroing a mob, or indeed rubber banding back when i'm trying like crazy to flee from one...
...and I can't find anything else in this game?
So, obviously I'm being stupid. MMOs have pets, veichles/mounts, dungeons, loot (not just resources), boss mobs, quests (other than a 10 minute coded autogenerator which btw is still buggy), player towns and pvp (not just consentual dueling!)....for a start.
So this isn't a whine. If this game is just what I have already experienced and that's it, I want to know so I can save my monthly fee. However, I'd be damn happy if this game DID have anything more than I've experienced.
Can anyone tell me where it is and what I've missed? Please? I can't find anything about content anywhere...
...and could someone please tell me what the point of a pack animal is? The only thing I can think of is to hold your (zero-weight??) resources. Or even is there any point to an apartment (other than ooo, I've got an apartment?)
Thanks in advance - much frustration here. Feeling a bit let down on this game =/
PS One thing I can't fault though is the community here. Having said that though, I'm not being charged for that! =)
