[h1] Not recommended [/h1] This game is more than 10 years ond, and on a first look, it will give a sense of nostalgia to players that played flash games like Adventure Quest. Unfortunately, its design is engineered towards having to heavily invest real money repeatedly in order to avoid artificial restraints on your play time (example: having to wait from 10 to 30 seconds to move between areas) and also in order to be able to progress in game, as there are several points where content is blocked behind combats that cannot be won without enhancements that you cannot get in game. So, it is not only a pay to win game; it is a pay to progress and pay to avoid annoyances and time-wasting. More over, several of the shop items have a gacha component, as they apply a random % enhancement that may need you to use them over and over to get a good % or successfully stack several of them over one item - and then discard the item when you change it for a higher level one and start anew. It is not a permanent fix - just a temporary one, forcing you to buy on a regular basis. Movement speed and recovery, for example, are 7-day or 30-day real time temporary buffs that you need to buy again if you want to keep them active. You can find other reviews that show some insane prices on the in-game shop. For example, you can earn 1 labbit (premium currency) daily with a in-game quest. Some items on the shop cost 1k labbits and even 12k labbits. That's hundreds of dollars. Another issue with the game is that a large part of the population is russian-based. That's not a bad thing on itself, but if you do not speak russian you will have trouble finding help or just getting answers to questions you might have about the game or even coordinating to play in groups. Aside from that, most of the community is very nice and try to help. Finally, there is a lack of players that is easily noticed when you need someone to group with you in some points of the story - the game only allows players to group with only one level of difference, so you may be stuck several days waiting someone to get to your level and then meet them in time to play with you - even after understanding between both of you. That may cause you to wait easily a week or more without being able to do nothing in game. Being in a guild helps a lot with this, but you can easily face the problem that they want to help but they have no character with the adequate level to do so. The lack of players is also noticeable when you attempt to do some pvp quests or events, as you won't have available opponents to meet the conditions and do the quest/event. I myself wasn't able to play an arena (3 vs 3 match) until I got to level 20. And Only once. The only thing I can say in favor of this game is that the developers continue to expand it and they invested considerable effort in improving early game experience (levels 1-5) with improved tutorial, bots to help being able to experience some pvp events, and a rework of the first dungeon to allow it to be soloable without a group. Just be warned that the standard experience will start at level 6, which is when you will start realizing the actual game loop. [hr][/hr] [h1] TL;dr [/h1] [h3]Pros:[/h3] - Game actively developed. - Nice community. [h3]Cons:[/h3] - Non-avoidable artificial annoyances, time-wasters and game-blocking situations engineered to make you invest real money. - Random gacha system that does not guarantee successful use of your hard-earned enhancements. - Definitely Pay to Win game. - A distinct possibility of getting stuck and unable to progress until you get another player assistance or use shop enhancements. - Lack of players that make some events and quests almost impossible to clear (and some may block progress). - Large russian player base that might complicate communication and engagement. - Old game, lacking many QoL enhancements. - Extremely grindy, as there isn't much variance among areas, enemies or equipment.
