This game is highly unbalanced. Just recently the NA servers went into the "renewals" which essentialy took away many of the fun skills as well as buffing certain classes to insane ends *cough* every rena class *cough*. Every character has its own playstyle, and each class can vary that playstyle vastly. However, it goes without saying that some characters will always be better than others, no matter how skillful you are. However, this game is fun even if you do not main one of the better classes. PvP is still winnable and PvE is nowhere near impossible.

This game is an MMO, so expect grinding. However, expect much less grinding than any other MMO. Leveling is easy, especially considering the exp boosts that KoG is always giving along with free level boosts. HOWEVER, do not level boost your first character. Leveling up your first character for the first time can be one of the most fun things about this game. I am a PvE player and have yet to get bored after my countless hours. I have logged in 832.5 hours on steam as I write this review, but have been playing since May of 2013. Counting the hours I have before this game was on steam, I have quite a bit. The game is still being updated constantly. Events are nonstop, and new areas and level cap increases have been chaning a lot recently. The best part is, you can check the KR server for things to come in NA.

This is really a tough one. Given it is an anime game, except creeps as well as normal gamers. There are plenty of young kids who assume that playing a girl character means you are a girl irl... and will hit on you. Toy with them :) . Besides them, there are random roleplayers and such, but finding the right guild isn't hard. Many of the more active players will be in guilds that may not accept low levels, so finding good friends can be hard at first.

Lag can be an annoying issue, as a party cannot kick a lagger. The only kicking system atm is one that allows all party members to vote to kick a player who hasnt dealt enough damage. Even buffers do enough damage, so if the button is lit, I suggest clicking it.

This is a F2P game which means MANY MANY microtransactions. If you want to complain that this game has too many or that its game breaking, please cry elsewhere. Costumes are the only essential thing in this game that you can buy from the item mall. However, you can get yourself 4 costume pieces for 250mil ED if you dont mind your costume not matching. 250mil sounds like a ton at first, but given you earn over 1mil ED per level 70 run, and there are now lvl 80 dungeons, you can earn that ED fairly easily. Whats that? 250 runs just for costume pieces sounds like a grind? Fear not. As you level up, just make sure to hold onto your ED and you will have plenty. I am not even including items such as secret dungeon materials. You can obtain somewhere between 3-25 of these per run depending if you do lutos mode or not. Currently these prices went up to roughly 300k-400k per piece, so you can sell those easily. Not to mention, almost every event has free accessories or costumes that you can earn by simply playing enough (usually involves logging in for 10 minutes each day). PvP is limited by your gear, but PvE is not at all. I know someone who is ranked top 50 with a +9 weapon, which is now extremely easy to get if you understand the concepts of making money in this game.

The game is starting to see some growth in NA, despite the server population dying. Merchandise has been officially released, and content continues to be released. 3rd jobs will be released shortly, bringing back old players. On top of that, it is possible that a raid may be in the near future (1-2 years)? It's never too late to play catch-up, so start playing now!
