This game is a quite the unique experience compared to other MMORPG games. And the depth is quite fascinating, you could spend thousands of hours and still have a bunch of things to learn. There's life skills like gathering, fishing, hunting, trading and many more which gives you an alternative path instead of going the "classic" monster farming route. Another great factor is that you get to explore a really huge map with differnet territories going by foot, horse, wagon, balloon or even boat.

When you first start to play the game you get overwhelmed by information, it can be hard to play a game when there's so much to learn. That said, if you do enjoy the basic mechanics and have the patience I do recommend to stay around, else it might not be for you.

If you are buying this game, patience is key and take time to learn the basics. Be prepared to spam the "R" button if you don't enjoy the quest dialogues, most quests in my opinion aren't that great (however there are many good questlines as well). Another thing to be prepared for is late game gear enhancing, which will be really time consuming. By the time you reach this point however you will already have several hundred hours. Enjoy your adventure if you do decide to try it! :D
