While I have it set as "Completed," the reality is that I've only done all the Free to Play Quests on offer as that was my original goal. You may disagree with me, that's fine, that was just my personal end point.
This was a fun experience having started back in 2007, stupidly got hacked after sharing my password, and putting it down for years only to pick it back up to put this title to rest.
This is fun, I love the grinding, the music, the funny dialogue, and how both chill and stressful it can be at times. It's my perfect MMO, one where you can do practically anything if you are willing to put in the work.
I adore the visuals most of all, each area feels alive, and they all feel believable. There is also a charm of "realism" that isn't found in many in RPGs where you kill a spider and it drops Swords and Gold.
Like, what is a spider going to do? Buy itself leather armor? Then again, there's a book series called Goblin Quest and I think that'd be a great idea...
Anyway, that aside, there are some issues with the game, notably it is slow, clunky, and the uphill grind does get a bit too much. While the minigames make for a nice distraction, they actually are too common as well as some don't really provide enough reward at later stages of the game.
Whether you're a hardcore or casual, I highly recommend this for anyone. In fact, this is probably the best game to start with if you have never played any before in your life. It's just hard enough to get you thinking, but forgiving enough that you never lose much progress.
No comments on PvP, that's a whole can of worms that I am probably never going to touch as I don't have member's nor the time to dedicate to it.
Still my Favorite Game of All Time. This is coming from someone that's put 2000+ hours into katamari and well over 15k in Minecraft.
