Have played this game since 1.0. I really enjoy this game, it has it's ups and downs, and has changed so much over time (as most MMOs do) so I will give a breakdown as I see it now (patch 6.2) with my /playtime being "Total Play Time: 176 days, 10 hours, 6 minutes"
I will review this in the style of GamePro magazine, because why not:
Graphics: 4.5/5 - this game still holds up in 2022
Sound: 5/5 - some of my favorite video game music is from this game, and yes I have blasted the soundtrack while driving
Control: 4.5/5 - I have been playing so long I don't even remember if it was hard to control at first, but I do know it feels better than WoW does, and has controller support.
FunFactor: 4/5 - I go though periods of really enjoying the time I spend in this game to neglecting playing for days or sometimes weeks. But I always come back... always. Also one of the best stories in any game I've played.
