best game ever!
just another ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game
FR Ce jeu est en alpha il maque cruellement de contenu et il y as trop peu de choses qui sont sorti depuis novembre 2025 sur la member realese : ils ont ajouter une seule quette qui est une quette d'accès a une ville sorti des caves pour bash du mob avec du loot de stuff a 0.1% droprate et du minage ouahhhh sorti des zones de pêche supplémentaire qui sont bug et ajouter l'achat de slot de personnage a 5eur le slot Bof qui ne sera pas utile ajouter un système d'abonnement mensuel pour accéder aux futurs contenu bloquer les vote de futurs mise a jour aux joueurs non membre La logique voudrait que le jeu soit fini avant de pouvoir demander des sous non ? DONC DITES PAS QUE C'EST UN FICHU F2P QUAND ON MET UN P**** D'ABONNEMENT MENSUEL MEME OSRS A PLUS DE CONTENU EN F2P QUE CETTE BLAGUE DE JEU allez sur OSRS il y a plus de contenu ( Donjons, quêtes, loot rares, mascottes, skills, métiers, zones diverses et plus hostiles les unes que les autres ) et vous serez plus rentable en tout point quitte a payer un abonnement EN This game is in alpha and is sorely lacking in content and there have been too few releases since November 2025 Regarding the member release: They’ve added just one quest, which is a quest to gain access to a town added the caves to bash mobs with loot that has a 0.1% drop rate, and there’s mining – wow insane who cares They’ve added extra fishing zones that are buggy and introduced the option to buy character slots for €5 each – meh, they won’t be any use They’ve added a monthly subscription system to access future content and blocked non-members from voting on future updates Logic would dictate that the game should be finished before asking for money, wouldn’t it? SO DON’T SAY IT’S A DAMN F2P GAME WHEN YOU’RE IMPOSING A F****** MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION – EVEN OSRS HAS MORE CONTENT IN F2P THAN THIS JOKE OF A GAME Go and have a look at OSRS – there’s more content (dungeons, quests, rare loot, pets, skills, professions, various zones, each more hostile than the last) and you’ll get better value for money in every aspect, even if it means paying a subscription fee

É tipo o Runescape Oldschool, só que muito pior. Não tem muito contéudo ou QoL, mas veja bem, ja tem o Membership :D
Sehr früh in der Entwicklung, bietet leider kaum Möglichkeiten aktuell. Potenzial ist definitiv vorhanden und erinnert an RuneScape. Leider kam man jetzt schon auf die Idee eine Mitgliedschaft einzuführen wo direkt alle neuen Inhalte die mit dem letzen Patch kamen hinter einer Paywall stecken. Somit hat der normale Spieler weiterhin keinerlei neue Inhalte. 80 minuten auf der Uhr und ich habe nahezu alles gesehen. Schade!
Winds of Valen is the first MMORPG in years that actually respects the grind. Every level, every skill point, every rare drop is earned no shortcuts, no P2W, no battle pass nonsense. Just old-school progression the way it used to be, and it's completely free. The skill system is the star. Training combat, mining, and smithing all feel meaningful, and there's real satisfaction in smelting your own ore into gear you actually use. The seamless open world is dangerous in the right way: wandering into the wrong area gets you killed, and that risk makes exploration exciting again. The world itself is charming cozy villages, windmills, rivers but don't let the friendly look fool you. There's depth here that keeps pulling me back "for one more skill level," and suddenly it's 2 AM. Small indie team (Fiery Dog Games), frequent updates, and a community that already feels alive. If you miss the era when MMOs rewarded effort instead of your wallet, play this. 9/10 — easily the best free MMORPG I've played in years.

prefect game for relaxation
Good game, can't wait for more content
So much fun, scratches an itch you've had since you were a kid experiencing a new MMO for the first time. It has boss fights, gear progression, active community, and skills. It's basic in its current form, but the potential for growth is massive; cannot wait for membership and quests to arrive along with the new zones, skills, and bosses the devs have planned.
