This was my favorite game of all time. I love the small scale PvP sandbox MMORPG genre and this game fit that perfectly.

Fast paced, high mobility combat with a dynamic 3-tree class system. PvP felt natural. I loved fighting over trade packs, flagging on my own faction, pirating fishing boats and abyssal packs, PvPing in Mistsong, Freedich, Auroria, Halcyona, etc, ganking merchant and fishing ships, fighting over world bosses, fighting over farming zones in Hasla, fighting during dynamic war time zones, war declarations on other guilds, queing 1v1, 3v3 arenas/ battlegrounds, etc... this game was just an absolute peak gaming experience.

Other things of note: gliders, sailing, naval combat, trade packs, free trade, physical housing, thunderstruck trees, illegal tree farms, battle pets, taming bosses, serpentis, dahuta, pirate faction, enemy faction mounts, harpooning clippers, lassoing players off of clippers, honor points, nodachi’s (weapons and their passives in general), underwater areas, unique mounts- like the thunder dash, stormdarter, and carrot dash… I could go on. Loved this game.

The labor system, family fishing, bots, conversion to daily quests, poor management, and predatory monetization practices are what ended up killing this MMO though sadly, otherwise 10/10. Played as a glass cannon nodachi darkrunner.
