does it take a real long time to reach max lavel in the game because character has five ,minute downtime regaining hp or mana . I wouldnt be able to play another game with a long grind time going for it . If i dont continually level at a good speed the game is not for me , then , which is the only issue holding me back from buying it . I left aion online and countless other games because of long levelling times. I realize that others dont care about how long it takes to level but for me this is the most important aspect of any game

This game is quicish to 30 or so, then slows some, and later a lot.

But take a mystic or priest out with you, no down time, especially a mystic

It starts slowing down around 35ish, it's not as bad as Aion, but it does slow down.

Because there are a TON of quests to do, this game is nothing as hard as most Korean MMOs (AION, Rohan... heck, even Maplestory)

every mmo i ever play i am always alone , no matter how great the game claims to be for grouping so i wont be taking any priest out with me . etc as i realize i will be alone in this game like all others . But i promise i am not a troll i am just trying to find out if i will end up quitting the game because of not being able to reach max level. I would normally play a game like this 5 hours a day . As far as being in groups this wont happen for me often and i can accept that

You will be fine! plenty of things to do solo. And then dungeon finder for the group things that are too difficult or risky to do solo (like dungeons story quest)

Sounds like you have a personal problem.

If you're dead set on playing alone, then no, you probably won't get max level very easily. Doesn't sound like you'd try very hard at it either, though, from what you just wrote.

no i dont have a personal problem i meant that in most games getting groups is not easy but i wont mention the games as i am not adverstising them but i think people know what i mean . I am very sociable and dont have any personal problems but thanks for the implication

Leveling in Aion was like Sprinting... then hitting a solid iron wall.

The leveling is fast so don't let that bother you. I have been mostly playing solo through the game minus the instances, which are very easy to get a group for.

Your concern with HP/Mana isn't bad either. You should never have 5 minute down time. Once you get down the mechanics of your class you shouldn't lose HPs often when soloing. As for Mana, that is just because of your skill rotation. Your class will have a couple skills that regain your mana. I'm an archer for instance and my auto attack, rapid shot, and one other replenish my mana. They do less damage but have to be in your rotation at some point to regain some of your mana. Your class will have a similar set up. If you are a caster you simply use a skill that forces you to stand still and regain mana, melee classes just have certain attacks that regain mana.
