I wanted to put in an actual review worth reading because a lot of the reviews are just rambling about the same thing. I am an early alpha player, I have been on the game since the beginning of development. I have well over 1000 hours of playtime, I don't play on steam I play on the website fantasyonline2.com - I played the original game back in 2009 - 2013, this game is a clone of that game with some touch ups on quality on life. A lot of people are throwing out the phrase 'pay 2 win', it's all how you view it. The phrase pay 2 win is pretty harsh when you actually know everything about the game. Yes you can pay money to buy moneys off of steam market or buy gems in game and sell them, but everything can be grinded for and bought off of marketplace. There is an in-game marketplace not talking about steam marketplace, you can buy every crafting material or outfit that you want if you grind the coins. It's similiar to WoW in that fashion. A lot of people are saying the same thing calling the game pay 2 win, but there are plenty of free to play players that have "won" without paying. Yes the game costs $10 on steam, but you also get $40 worth of gems when you initially start out (4 character slots, 100 gems each character). You get a really nice one time deal on gems when you buy the game, and those gems alone can do alot for you progression wise. Another big thing, gems are the currency that you buy from the developer of the game for real money, but they also have daily quests where you can get 10 gems daily. You are not forced to spend real money on gems at all. You can buy them off marketplace or do your daily quests. There is no pay-wall. Here recently, they lowered down the craft times on the tiered gear to cater to newer players. They have gone out of their way a good bit to help the newer players, and alot of people see right past that because they haven't played and seen the ups and downs of the game. The game has been in development since early 2023, it has came a very long way since it's early days. Even if you paid the $10, you will 100% get your playtime worth out of the game, there is a ton of playtime with this game and it will keep you occupied if it's your type of game. If you're still reading and you want a good summary of what the game plays like, the game is like world of warcraft but pixelated and more simplified, they are working on adding instanced dungeons to the game and it's going to be a lot more like world of warcraft once those are added. If you see the game on sale, definitely worth the snatch because you still get the 400 gems for buying the game and if you catch it on sale for $5 can't beat that
