I played this game extensively pre-Steam for two years after its launch. When the old publisher Kakao ran it, it was punishing in it's microtransactions and incredibly PVP focused. Now that Kakao isn't in charge, the game has had a chance to flourish into a much more expansive story and tone down the worst of the monetization abuses. It still requires some money to play effectively, but now compared to a monthly sub MMO its reasonably priced and delivers on some of the best combat and life skill experiences in the entire genre.

Definitely high value for what you put in.
