I expect that this game will cater to people who work quite a bit. When you log off of your character, your character becomes an OPC (Offline Player Character) which functions like an NPC. Even though you wont be playing, your character should still be progressing. The question is whether or not it'll be as efficient as playing or not.

OPC can train a skill up to journeyman level. You can also learn basic skills from books/manuals. At some point you will have to train with a master or at a school. You can also pick up some skill by watching others. The skill system is still being designed so nothing is final. A casual player should be able to become viable in the game. It may take you longer but you will get there.
Divide et Impera
First I think it's important to note that you won't be competing as much as you think.
In Elyria players are expected to realize that cooperation is important, coupled with the fact that the map is huge (192km x 96km for all servers but OCE) and you will find that gameplay is going to be a very localized thing. So if you want to focus on leatherwork you may be the only person in a good radius working on leatherwork, as you can choose to spark into a family of leatherworkers and fill the demand in the region.
As has been said above, OPCs can in fact train up to a journeyman level. In the immediate area, that's going to be the go to person in that craft. You won't be competing on a kingdom competition scale for best made leather chest piece without some extra effort, but you will certainly be a go to person in your area of operation.
thank you for the responses, I will be able to play but usually after midnight, so may or not be able to interact with groups as much, OPC is a good plan then, again thanks for the info

Which timezone? Perhaps you could consider playing in another region like OCE if more players would be active then.
If not there's a brightside, you'll likely be the only one awake when the 3 zerg comes rolling through your kingdom so can take charge of its defense....
You and the OPCs can save the day

Yes. There will be no afk armor. But the nobility and aristocracy are putting a lot of thought into how to make their domains safe and there will be a robust criminal investigation and punishment system, although it’s structure is still in flux.
