One of the newest time machines invented.
Start playing in the morning, then check outside, it will still be morning, but 2 days has already passed.
10/10 I would buy again for free.

"Beauty is only skin deep." That is how this game felt like.

Seeking for a new MMORPG to play, I saw this game's trailer and was attracted to it. I started to download it and was surprised that it was over 18GB and thought that it must be really awesome. After the download, there was a patch that was over 13GB so I became impatient and was like, "This better be good." Then after gruesome hours of waiting, I was able to enter the character creation (which was unimpressive), and was finally in-game.

So first look, the game is visually good (just visually though). I ran around, explored and quested for several hours and this is what I have observed:
1.) The game is too passive and lacking
- I can't believe this was released in 2011 and it still plays out like an incomplete game today with little to no scenario and AI. It feels like those custom made warcraft maps in the works where only the terrain and units were layed out and has nothing much else to offer. Mobs are just standing all over the place or roaming all over the place with almost no purpose. There are a lot of things you can see and interact with that seems to have no significance at all.

2.) Poor mechanics and balance
-Special mobs or bosses, don't seem any different from the regular ones, just higher hp. Character's normal attacks are almost negligible, skills suck, your hp goes down almost the same rate as whatever it is your fighting then you regen everything so quickly after being out of combat for some time. Potions felt so irrelevant, you get mobbed by two enemies of same level, you use one, not so much hp recovered and the cooldown is so slow you just die unless you run, good thing the system is so undeveloped that if you just run with low hp you'll survive somehow because all of the nearby mobs just ignore you. They say dynamic battles in their site, but i don't see anything dynamic at all even in their videos.

3.) The interface and controls are not so user friendly
- This is the first time in my whole gaming history where it took me quite a lot of time to figure out how to navigate and use the interfaces. Equipping, buying, selling, etc. everything was just ugh.. not so convenient and the game heavily relied on right-clicking for no good reason.

4.) Unattractive and unamusing character 3D models
- For a game that looks so grandiose with a folder size of 37.5GB, it is just so sad that the character model's designs and movement are so mediocre and generic. Aside from the disappointing character creation options, I went in to battle just to find out how lame these models move. I can't believe that I was already using or chaining skills with what I was seeing, as they were not so far off from looking like a normal attack.

5.) Lots of features and game elements
- This game has a lot of content: multiclass characters, mounts, fishing, crafting, cooking, alchemy, blacksmithing, rifts, bigass bosses, etc. Aside from the visuals, this was the only other good thing about it. The system was just so bad despite being a non-beta game that I spent most of my gaming hours just fishing instead.

In conclusion, this game is such a waste. It has a lot of good concepts thrown into it that you just don't see or feel being projected in-game. If they can rework and improve their system, then it can probably be one of those games with ultra large communities that last for years.
