Diablo style equipment paperdoll. Automatic combat with basically passive skills to start with. World map of provinces with standard level ranges. Provinces themselves have different locations with a battlefield with however many waves of combat that goes on cooldown after being completed and gathering nodes, quests may add different fight spot to an area. Movement is like KoL but movement within a province is short enough it was free to skip. Additional party members have to be paid per wave, but they don't have to participate and the blue I drew cost about 73 gold a wave while I was getting 200+. If a quest has a boss fight the entire gauntlet has to be cleared in one shot and loot is only given at the end.

Crafting is weapons, armor or trinkets. Gathering is ore mining, woodcutting, hunting and gem mining. You can select one of each. Gathering is done at a location with a proper node, different nodes have different rates for how many attempts you can make at a time and how many you can get for a success. Gathering, refining and crafting require tools that use durability per individual attempt and can't be repaired. The workings of this is you select how many times you want to do a thing, which costs x amount of time each, and can choose to spend extra time for better success rate. Refining and crafting let you do other things, I think, but gathering locks you down for the duration.

Combat waves and all the crafting stuff requires stamina. Quests and leveling give stamina, plus filling over time if you're under cap. The amount you get the first day with pre-reg is generous enough I was more than a thousand over cap after completing the tutorial and doing the first faction quest.

There are three factions. Supposedly you can switch later, but one is assigned to you randomly to start with. There is a reputation system that means doing quests in one area makes the faction that controls it like you more but annoys the other two. Didn't get to do enough to know that that actually means.

Sorry this is rambling, I just tried to rack my memories for relevant bits.
