What is end game really like?

[beev]

I played back in 1999/2000 right up until Kunark was first released and my bunk Voodoo2 gfx card just couldn't handle it so I quit. My highest char was a 32 Monk.

I now have a 36 druid and it is really starting to feel like a grind fest for levels as leveling is slow in this game (compared to other MMO's). As soon as I can leave Overthere I will be happier.

Anyways, I've always wanted to get to end game, get end game gear, and see what it's like to feel powerful in this world for once. So is the end result fun or is the journey there, better?
I'm already starting to feel the desire to create another character as lower levels seem to be quite a bit of fun because you move from place to place so fast.
