With wings. Oddly, the game is also pretty fun, with little to no Asian MMO "grinding" (a la L2) to speak of. Quests aren't compicated (kill 10 XXX, deliver this hammer to NPC YYY), but they're numerous and somewhat interestingly written. On paper, it's exactly the kind of thing I wouldn't necessarily enjoy, but it ends up being fun to play - and I find myself looking forward to the servers opening again for each new beta phase. (They open again on the 17th, and if you want to give the game a try, they might be still giving away beta keys when you preorder. Not 100% sure on that though.)
