I thought from the reviews, that this game would be good. But It wasn't for me.

I would say it's a fun world, the combat is done well. There isn't much direction on what you should from the start.

But the game is ruined by adding survival aspects. Like having to stay fed, resting, party member permadeath.

Best launch of a MMORPG in I can't even remember how long. The game is cool starting off, time will tell how it really is.

So I've played over 100 hours of this game and loving it. I'd have to say it's a great game for a casual who can afk grind. And the person who doesn't need to compete to be at the top. I'm only level 40 with this much play time just because I've been enjoying taking my time so far. There's so much to do. You can literally grind everything in this game. Walking, carrying stuff, every type of crafting/gathering. It is overwhelming at first because you'll come into it like most mmos and think you need to level all those things up.

To me the whole lifeskilling and nodes compares to playing a civilization game. I feel like I'm conquering the world in a way. I feel like the way I'm playing the game will benefit me in the long run also once I'm so setup in lifeskills that I will have a great passive income and then just do other parts of the game without much worry.

It's not all crafting though. The combat is really fun. I guess grinding up to the top levels gets pretty tiresome, but I haven't really got there yet. Nor will I care about leveling up fast obviously.

The mount and travel system is the only thing that sucks to me. They don't have fast travel and your mount isnt accessed easily from your inventory like most mmos. This has actually kept me from traveling to far as of yet. Because it's annoying to get back and will waste time when you don't play a ton at once. Like who wants to log on for an hour or 2 and spend 30 mins of that travling to get yourself setup.

I played for a couple hours to give it a try.
Pros:
-Fun character creation and storyline
-Easy character advancement (not a big talent tree to follow like some games)
-Lot's of crafting.
-No pvp (this is a con for some people)

Cons:
-Graphics like everyone says. They are on the lines of WoW, but worse.
-Buggy (lots of times a lagged out or had to get in the right spot to click something)

Now I only played this game until I got all my crafting to level 10 and my warrior to level 8. So I didn't give it a big massive chance. My first impression was I was pretty happy with the game. It had everything I like. But I started running into the buggyness and even though I don't need AAA graphics, I would at least like modern.

The world is kind of barren also in the start. I don't know if it gets better, but the start area seems to have alot of just farms that have no real use. The gathering seems to be done in specific areas which is boring also. open world gathering is more interesting. I could have really stuck with this game, but it's lacking as a full MMO. It is perfect for a casual person or child though.
