It's definitely a slow burn and derives a lot of enjoyment for many due to nostalgia. I'd say it's a game where you should set yourself goals based on cool endgame items, or with the goal of finishing a certain quest or getting to a certain skill level. This way, you can start browsing the wiki for guides on how to level skills, get gp, or do quests, and they naturally flow into each other.
