Pros: The art is beautiful. I've played tons of hours in Preview and Alpha, was really looking forward to the release of this game. Loved the grind, didn't mind the running as much as others, found an amazing group of people to play with and share a company with. The pvp is a good concept with the wars and missions with gear earned through the pvp tokens.

Cons: The end game killed all of our drive to play, the repetitiveness of the same mobs didn't help. The abundance of bugs after every patch made it irritating to play some days (hatchet bug was the worst during pvp). The housing feature was something I looked forward to, spent money on the game for furniture, and couldn't even put furniture down without the game crashing due to a bug with the housing decorations. This bug was the least prioritized in getting fixed due to the other bugs that piled up that were affecting pvp and some pve content. They didn't want to fix it when other things keep popping up. On top of that, there is an unfairness when one faction becomes too big and everyone wants to switch to that faction, leading into an imbalance, or they transfer out of the server all together. Our med-pop server became a low-pop in a matter of a couple weeks.

I loved this game since I played in the previews, and I don't have as many hours in it as others, but I was on this game 24/7 grinding and having fun (even fishing) and I just couldn't get into it anymore after hitting endgame. Wish there was more variety with mobs. Lots of potential, but the release was a let down. Can't recommend it or not recommend it tbh. I wonder if another video game developer/studio can make this game better.

A friend of mine said it better: for the serious grinders who wants to level up to pvp, this game isn't for you since it's very easy to level up if you grind it out and everything can get repetitive in a short period of time, but if you want to take your sweet time/don't care about pvp and just be casual about playing and leveling everything up, then this game is for you.
