I'll be honest here, I never made it past A Realm Reborn. I'm not particularly familiar with MMOs and I feel like this game has really soured and possibly ruined my perception of them going forward. I went into it expecting a busy community of people recruiting, interacting, selling and even trying to scam newcomers but there wasn't one. It was mostly just samey looking catgirls running around doing quests alone with no real interaction with or from anyone else. It didn't feel very newcomer friendly in it's content as it took far, far too long for anything interesting to happen. All the quests were the standard "go and get this item for me" or "kill this monster over here to prove yourself or join us" and I ended up just switching off and going into autopilot as the gameplay had far too little to attract me. You have far too little skills and the classes take forever to expand. I find a game that takes the entire base game to go anywhere, which is supposedly anywhere from 50 to 100 hours long, to be far too long. The game was just a slog with nothing interesting or engaging in it. This truly is Stockholm syndrome the game.
