10/10. The story will make sense later on.

Just buy it and play.

This is hands-down, the most disappointing online game I have ever played. Echoing many other players who are still playing, it's as if the dev team and management have never played an actual MMO or their own game. The community has been going up-and-above to help save the game, such as fervently requesting the PTR (Public Test Realm), etc., for the newer patches. But what did they do with the feedback? They TOTALLY IGNORED the testers' feedback, and pushed through with every bad design and nerf the community painstakingly voiced out about.

In the first few weeks of the game, literally almost everything in the game has bugs and almost every weapon skill in the game did not work as intended. Players were duping items and coin (currency) every single day and selling them online, or arming their company (guild) mates with the BiS armours. This allowed them to conquer territories, and destroy the economy. Players complained that coin was insufficient at end game. But Amazon's data showed that more coin was generated than what was being drained. Little did they know there were dupes going on. Gold sellers and bots plagued the game for weeks until most were banned (Yes, they still exist). This capped the server limit and eventually disallowed people from registering a character there. What happened afterwards? Players quit or played less frequent (this is normal), so economy and playerbase died in these once-popular servers.

Performance issues persisted in war and densely populated areas. FPS in every war early in game dropped to literally 10, and players exploited these issues and bugged equipment, stacking food (another bug) to win them.

Regarding the latest patch: They nerfed a few weapons (those playing mages) to be almost utterly useless in comparison to already overpowered melee weapons. The icing on the cake? They BUFFED the already overpowered melee weapons. Wars and pvp events are now decided by which team has the most melee classes (the current meta war composition is 40-50 melee, 10 mage/healers). Nerfed leveling for crafting. Nerfed rewards in the toughest areas of the map. Crazily buffed enemies in said area. Performance issues are back which makes 1hour runs become 3hours with many more deaths (breaking equipment which costs absurb coin to repair)

TL;DR
Game was shipped out with bugs in almost EVERY aspect of the game. Direction of the game currently is to keep slowing progress to hide the fact that the game has no true End Game Content. Boring and tedious end game currently is to run through a few areas a day, Game is punishing casual and newer players who did not max out crafting and rushed end game content in the early days due to nerfs introduced. I am only continuing to play this because some of my friends still are. The day they leave is the day I leave too.

+ Graphics (which destroyed graphic cards)
+ Farming (Feels like OSRS)

- Bugs in almost everything (with every fix comes more bugs)
- Duping (at least 3 known dupes which were reported in the beta were not fixed). 1-2 new duping methods was discovered almost every single week until now. Devs slapped most of these players with a 24hour ban, allowing them to keep the duped items and coin
- 3 skills allowed per weapon (almost no diversity)
- Mage class (Fire Staff & Ice Gauntlet users) are the weakest
- Glass cannon builds with low survivability do way lower damage than a melee class with the strongest armour
- 99% of all craftable items are not commercially viable to sell (since tools do not break and equipment can be grinded) so most craft skills do not make any money
- Punishes casual players (since this game is pushing for more pvp, and pve experience is nerfed tremendously)
- Hidden patch changes (mostly detriments)
- List of known unfixed bugs number in the hundreds, based on their official thread
- Bad story and lore
- Fast travel costs too much
- Storage stores too little (and now you can't sell items when your inventory is full)
- Low quality of life in most dialogue boxes
- Little character customization (you see everyone in almost the same armour everywhere)
- List goes on.. just check out the official forums (complaints are legit)

Chad MC. Nice OST. Every day's great at your Junes!
