I should mention here that I have been playing this game for years and my review might be a bit bias but still I’ve seen the game grow and know quite a bit about it, so perhaps it might be biased but its throughout.
I was just going to do a short review then I thought, eh why not do something long and formal.
Pros:
Long quirky split questline, you can do both parts on the same character if you want as well.
Factions, groups, and guilds.
Player market and personal/guild vault system.
Trading system.
Multiple, customizable chat logs.
Multiple races with different skills.
In game purchases. (Tokens represent real life cash).
Daily grind where you have a chance to win tokens.
Contests and other events that you can do with a team or try out solo.
Lots of achievements.
Crafting, enchanting and collection system.
PvP is optional (but beneficial). [enable to pvp you must drink juice, this is called ‘juicing’]
Dueling.
Helpful community.
Large map.
Combat and vanity pets.
Player color, pattern and size customization.
Player instances (land/home) and objects to place there.
Options for role players like animations, emoting and player biographies.
There’s a skill build for pretty much anyone.
Lots of skills from each race help the other so it’s great for team play.
Been playing for years and am still learning/finding new things.
Cons:
The questline can get a bit difficult when searching for certain items, sometimes you can find these items on the market however or by trading.
Juicing can cause drama if you complain about being killed, if you are not interested in pvp(player versus player), please do not juice. Also, if you’re going to be AFK step into a safe zone. Someone might accidently AFK kill you doing a stealth attack not realizing you’re afk. (or they did it on purpose –shrugs-). Either way you’re vulnerable to other players while juiced and members of the opposite faction may attack you.
It is nearly impossible to 100% this game. Some of the achievements can only be given by game masters, it may be impossible to get all of them, but you could sure try! (You’ll be a legend.)
Tips:
If you’re going to be juiced it’s easier to play with those of the same faction.
Go through the questline at least once, it’s really fun, quirky and helps you understand the game better.
If you’re having trouble with a quest ask for help, if you’re looking for a resource check the market.
Make multiple characters of multiple races, each race is unique in its own way.
Participate in events and contests.
Buy a collection album, it makes the game so much more organized.
The player base:
The player base is pretty close with each other for the most part. As with any pack there is an omega who turns their back on the rest but that’s a tale for another time. They’re very helpful to newbies so if you have a question, don’t be afraid to ask someone.
The game masters and administrators:
Great people, these guys. Even if they’re afk they’ll still send you a message and answer any questions when they’re available. If you have any bug reports you can let them know.
I recommend this game 10/10. There’s something in it for everyone and it’s free to play!
