Quick Bersion: Great action mmo combat unrivaled by any other MMO. Still at the top because of it. You'll meet nice people sometimes, but mostly feels like a solo game with "more people = less exp" mechanics in place. Excellent graphics (and even more excellent nudies, shh) but rampant pop in foliage, rocks, trees, and other terrain. Super grindy. Very predatory enhancing system that reignited my gambling addiction. Beautiful but expensive premium outfits. Consumed my soul and my wallet. Pretty pay to win but slightly limited. It's... perf... almost. If you have the time, patience, and money for a great sandbox fantasy fighting action mmo, this is good game.

Yes the b in version is intentional ;3 So umm, I've been playing this a lot, right? I started in open beta but never really got into it until about 4 months ago. A lot has changed. Money used to have weight, people were killing each other left and right for no real reason (kinda still happens but it's more just trade runners and afk being killed), and there are so many new classes to choose from. I've met a lot of great people and some not so great. I like RP and there's a server where a lot of people do it, but since I'm so late in the game, I find it hard to step in, but a lot of times people will message you if you look interested. A suggestion is to turn off all notifications, also make a chat tab for only general, party, and guild. This is very helpful for people who have anxiety like me, people who don't want their screen bombarded with a bunch of big text, and people who don't want to see how much better (and morbidly worse to the point you feel there is no real chance and the game is rigged against you) everyone else is doing with enhancements. This game is still really popular, and as far as I know, there aren't any real dead servers or channels out of the 50 million (hyperbole) to choose from.

The combat system is pretty excellent and the best I've seen out of any fantasy mmorpg. Your hits actually mean something and when you connect, you connect. It feels more like a fighter sometimes in PvP, but something with super fast matches. There is a very clear class superiority system, and with 18 classes, that's bound to happen. Balances are done every patch, but usually nothing major is done each week and they don't seem to have their priorities straight on what to buff first. Older classes that got nerfed into the ground sometimes continue to receive little nerfs, already great farming classes getting more damage for PvE, etc.

As this is a Korean MMO, the grind is turned up to 11 and a half out of ten. Gearing is pretty difficult but there are some nice events that help sometimes, and leveling past 60 is a rollercoaster of emotions that may or may not drive you to madness as you kill groups of enemies and only get .001% towards your next level. But being a broke neet who spent the rest of her money she saved at her previous job on this game with nothing to do but grinding her life away in a pointless sandbox mmo that will get her nowhere but more broke and sad, I have the time and patience to grind and gear. There was a neat battle royale mode that gave lots of good money if you did good, but it was heavily exploited with rampant cheating and it was taken out. There's still massive group PvP on the red battlefield that you can earn some money on, but it could definitely use a buff on the benefits, and until you're past softcap, you're pretty much going to be obliterated off the face of the earth when someone just looks at you. Still, you get money for winning or losing and it's not performance based, which is excellent.

As it is a sandbox mmo, there is a lot to be desired in story, and as this is a Korean MMO, there's a lot lost in translation. There's plenty of nice lore and different kinds of people, animals, and places to look at, but all you can play as is humans and elves and now shai, and all you can ride is horseys and donkeys. There's also boats and sea combat which is actually pretty exciting due to there being random events out at sea, and lots of sea monsters to dodge or hunt. But combat boats are expensive.

There's plenty of lifeskills to choose from, but there isn't really much crafting. At least not actual gear that's worth using. A lot of them are great moneymakers, but some like horse training are super rng and super p2w. With no way to change much needed skills without coughing up some cash. I give up on this review, just pretend I wrote more explaining the quick version. Save yourself if anything above sounds like something you don't want.

A lot of fun, but I wish the waifu art was a bit better. When people say "wanking off to pixels" you can kinda really feel that. But I guess if you're into that, go for it. I found this game challenging as I've always been horrible at Space Invaders-esque games, but thankfully they added an easier mode with more lives, which helped me unlock those waifu nudes quicker!
