played since day one read on the game that this was a game you could play when ever you wanted and lvl your skill whenever loved it worked around me fairly easy, left the game for a couple months came back to find out that i couldnt harvest the same trees at lvl 24 and needed to be lvl 50+2 knowledge points to chop that same tree had alot of potential in the begining, now just a a grind fest of clicking where nothing stacks and you have to grind all skills pretty high just to continue the "story" and side quests
having seen it for what it is in early access i cant say any amount of development will change it

Thank god Andrew Gower sold Runescape off. Brighter Shores is a pile of crap.
Absolute ass
TLDR: Not great for anyone wanting a social aspect, less grind and a good story with fun gameplay. While Brighter Shores is not the worst MMO I have ever played, it's also not the best. It's got a lot of cool ideas like the board game layout of the world, but it fails to have an interesting story, characters or anything memorable for me. Not to mention that it is incredibly grindy and this aspect makes it difficult for players to communicate via chat in game when they're in the same space/section because there's just no time to start chatting. And it doesn't help that chat disconnects when a player leaves one section for another. I sunk 43 hours in out of curiosity because I heard about how bad the game was. I stopped once I got tired of the grind and found a few games to play that have not bored me or been super grindy. Brighter Shores has the potential to be a good MMO if the team gets serious about fixing things and I hope to see a lot of important changes by the time the game is out of Early Access.
a good grindy rpg. I cant wait till the multiplayer stuff starts. maybe being able to party and share exp or trade items to help lvl cooking or alchemy while your friend makes all your gear. fingers crossed this keeps going.
I have been forcing myself to play this for two days because I want to at least see some of the story After grinding for hours, I have managed to complete exactly one quest, and I'm not even sure it counts as a quest. There are literally no activities I can do right now other than grind to level 25 combat or fishing, and I'm not very optimistic the game will change after that. At level 20 I unlocked the "passive activity" and after letting it run for almost a day, I'm still at level 22. I suppose on the bright side I can just wait another day or two rather than grind.
NOT WORTH IT. THERE ARE BETTER GAMES TO BUY AND FULLY ENJOY. PAYING A SUBSCRIPTION IS SICK.
This game makes me so mad. Took a year break and now I can not even fight the crows anymore...
This game is not fun at all. I stuck with RuneScape. This is not something that is fun because you have to grind for 100s of hours before you can even do anything remotely fun. 0/10
