I love my $12.99 a month fishing game.

I play this game with my online friends as a way to hang out - it's fun to mess around with friends on. I even connected better with some of my coworkers outside of work here, too. 3-star is very high ranking for an MMORPG for me as the idea of playing a game live with a bunch of players who have to see how stupid I am when learning a game becomes way too much to the point I get so embarrassed I feel I need to log off. I also start to get too self conscious about how I design my character and how everyone who's currently playing is subconsciously judging how I act/dress/fight.

The story is fine, the game play seems to be mostly run from point A to point B in order to complete something in order to run from the next point A to point B. Dungeons are very fun, and I'm lucky enough to have friends willing to help my stupid ass figure out how to do them.

I played the game first in about 2020, and got too overwhelmed. Had friends begging me to try again, so I joined again, really putting in an effort this time. Still only got to the point that I was playing it only 2 times a month, making it not remotely worth the 12.99 for me to just fish and cook and talk to friends I often already do in real life or through discord.

I understand the appeal, and greatly appreciate the amount of love put into the game. But in the end, it's something I will only pay a subscription for every once in a while in order to hang with some friends when they ask me to.
