I don't understand all the hate about this game. It's not perfect by any means and I've yet to experience this game's entire content, but so far I'm loving it. It's got a good mix of main story quest (which is actually kinda good if you actually pay attention to it instead of skipping through the chat), subquests which blend in together nicely and dungeons that you can solo or group for (depending on difficulty, of course) which have their own subquests and reward you with cool items sets. The biggest complain I see is about the combat... I for one am loving the combat in this game, feels like WoW combat but flashier, more immersive and with more positioning. I feel that the main reason why some people get turned off by the combat is that they expect this to be a full action game with dodging like TERA, but that's not what it's about. This is a traditional MMORPG combat style but with more fluidity, the dodge mechanics aren't exactly "dodge", but escape/positioning mechanisms that differ from class to class (mages with teleport, rogues with sidestep, ranger with backstep, etc). The only major complaint I have so far is a few combat bugs (the only bothering one so far is charge skills not working on certain terrains), but I have hope that this will be fixed, especially if people give this game a chance and the company can have a bigger budget. TL;DR: Don't listen to the haters demonizing this game, it's really awesome (especially once you reach lvl15, which doesn't take too long). Judge it yourself, try the game. It's free anyways, so worst case scenario is you'll get a couple hours of fun for free. You're reading this review so chances are you're bored anyways, so why not?

I totally love this game. I don't agree with people when they say it's pay to win you can achieve everything without having to spend a single dollar BUT it takes a lot longer. When you pay for premium access however, it doesn't take as long. You get a lot for your money, though and it makes the whole experience a lot nicer. I recommend trying the game. Nice graphics, and since the last update finding groups is a lot easier as you can play with members from all of the servers of your region (US or Europe).

This is a great game all the mystical creatures make it very enjoyable. The level caps though can be a bit annoying but other then that it is a wonderful game that is one of my top favorites. Plus its free and you don't need to buy anything in game to be good at this. Furthermore if you do want to buy a buff or store item you can use elluns which can be gained for free from certain daily missions. I very highly recommend this game.

This game is taking alot of heat on here for some issues users are having. Most of those technical issues I have not had so I am reviewing this based on MY experiences so far... -There are some bugs, but again I have not seen nearly as many as others have had. The more serious of these issues is the lag. The lag can at times be terrible if not downright unplayable but its an issue that isnt keeping me from playing as much as I have. -People have compared this to Tera and that is unfortunate because its not Tera, the mini map and full map are in the same style as Tera and thats where the similarities end. -The combat can be a bit boring for the first few levels and after a few skills are added to your tool bar you are pretty good. The combat is one of the weaker aspects of this game but not unbearable. -Graphically the game is pretty solid and with settings turned all the way up it is a fairly good looking game, but nothing to rave about. -the Taming of familiars (animals, creatures, dragons...) is where this game shines. If you are an avid collector of mounts and pets in any other game you will love this part. There is an issue that you will run into after a short while and thats where the available slots are locked out. These slots need to be unlocked with Elune (in game currency). You can most certainly gain Elune while playing the game and without spending a dime to do so. BUT if you really want these slots opened you will need to buy some. They will be adding more ways of gaining Elune in game in the near future. And this is not something that you should consider game breaking as so far I have not spent a single penny. - The in game store is full of cosmetics and small buffs. There is not (to this point) anything P2W in the store. - The dungeons in game are pretty simple, can be done solo or in a group. However there are 3 tiers: Story mode, Elite and Heroic. Elite has 5 tiers of difficulty that you can select before entering and the drop rates reflect that. At current level you will need to be in a group to run Heroic modes. - Plenty of daily quests - Map is large enough for the time being with a new zone (large) that will be open later this month. - Game is almost totally open world with a few intsanced areas here and there. - No gender locked classes Some of the more lacking things about this game: - Level cap is currently level 25, which you will hit fairly quickly. - There is NO archer class. Classes available are: Barbarian (warrior type), Guardian (sword/shield), Wizard (ranged DPS), Assasin (stealth, duh) and Priest (healer). - There is only the human race :( male/female - Character creation is a bit lacking but not terrible (not BDO creation or anything like that) its not all that bad but it isnt exactly great either. All in all this MMO is not bad at all. Can be fun solo or with a group of friends. It doesnt do anything bad and it doesnt really excell at much either. But at the end of the day its a game thats very fun to play and can be addicting. It doesnt exactly hit a home run at the moment but its not a dud either.

Honestly a decent f2p game. I'd like to address a few of the complaints I see: -P2W: This is entirely untrue. This launch addressed many of the p2w issues in the asian version, and all items that gave an unfair advantage were removed from the cash shop (save for the ones that you can get easily in game). -Gold spammers: Yeah they exist. So does a block list, and a "global shout" filter. Super easy to not see spammers. **UPDATE** Global shouts have been disabled in the meantime, so gold spammers should no longer be an issue. -Bugs: Yeah, they are there. So is the tag "open beta". I see many people take for granted the fact that they have to pay $0.00 to play this game, and that "beta" is meant as "beta testing". None of the bugs are game-breaking, and actually many have been fixed in the past 48 hours. I would recommend this game. A few positives here: -It is entirely possible to hit max level with great gear all free to play. The majority of cash shop items are cosmetics (player and mount skins), convenience (no transport fees, storage anywhere, etc), and things like that. -They also upped the amount of premium currency that drops (as compared to the asian version), so even if there is something in the cash shop you want (like a skin), you can get it very fast in game. -The mounts are visually appealling, as well as the landscapes. -The class abilities feel engaging, are flashy, and flow well together. Negatives: -Lower tier familiars are pretty useless with low energy (although higher tiers are easy to get). -PvP is only duels currently (game is expanding through open beta, more PvP will be added before July ends). TL;DR This game is 1. free, and 2. in beta. Great f2p game that isn't p2w like its asian version.
