And how do the instances work? If you and a friend log on, can you meet up, or is there a chance you will both be in the same place but on different instances (and so never actually encounter your in-game friend)?
Is there a guild system in place?
Are half the people trying to make their own Conan?

To be honest I haven't really paid much attention to the animations, sorry. From what I can remember this is probably a valid complaint.
Sorry I forgot to mention the instances in the last post. Basically what they have done is separate each zone into a bunch of different instances. So a single city may be separated into 10 instances on a single server. this is done to reduce load on any one instance (which I'm sure you understand). If you are playing alone this just means that you don't interact with as many people at the same time (I'm not sure how the chatting works if it is across zones or not, sorry) which may impact the number of people you meet/group with in a totally random manner (i.e. stumbling across a guy who is getting beat up by a vampiric bunny and you save his life and are best friends forever). If you already have friends you will see when they come online, if you group up and meet in the same zone it is very easy for the party leader to summon you to the particular instance you are in. I think it is also very easy to switch instances, so you can meet up that way without grouping.
There is a guild system but I have no idea how well it works. However the interesting bits of the guild system are that you can eventually
a) build a castle
b) take over other people's castles (weather permitting).
I don't know much about either of those to be able to comment on them much.
I haven't been out of the initial "noob" area so I have no idea what the class disparity is. If you mean making up names like "ConanXX" and "xConanax" and talking about how you like to hear the lamentation of the women, I don't think the filters actually allow that sort of naming and most people would probably ignore him anyway.
