It's also not strictly item-based gaming; you can actually compete with just decent gear, as skills(and actual skill) also come into play. My one gripe is that it takes too freaking long to get to a new city(I've had to cross a third of the continent dying dozens of times, taking hours, just to find a freaking city, all the while with my -60% hp/mp death penalty.)

The death penalty is rather harsh. Even 50% would be hard to swallow, but still liveable. Beyond that, though, and you're more than crippled. :P
Traveling solo is a big no-no, unless you're WAY over-leveled and get lucky with your Henchmen. However, once you find a city, it's a piece of cake to warp around the world, so it sort of evens out.
