2011-2013 was the peak of this game, and only started its downhill trend once wildshadow was no longer in charge. Kabam owning the game was the beginning of the downfall, and despite being my most played game i found myself spending less and less time on it. By the time DECA took over the game was at an all time low, and having tried it on and off it just isnt the same and most likely never will be. Not worth wasting your time on this one, as the monetization is predatory and the gameplay loop is abysmal.
The game actually has quite a bit of substance to it nowadays, and it really seems to be heading in the right direction thanks to the new guidance of DECA as opposed to Kabam. Reworks to classes like Sorc and Assassin were necessary, and made the two classes so much more fun to play. Still, the core gameplay loop can get exhausting over time, so play in moderation; 1 or 2 hours at the most per day.
