The best thing about this game was that it reminded me that better mmorpgs exists, as this game did not seem to have almost anything worthwhile going for it.
--The COMBAT feels clunky and starting level one with 10 skills and 7 different possible weapons did not do it any favors. From level one the when I stopped playing pretty much every battle devolved to just pressing all numbers 1-8, waiting a few seconds and then repeating (parry exists, but did not seem to actually be needed in the early game).
--The STORY is meh. It was slightly interesting in the beginning, but it didn't take too long until I started skipping every piece of dialogue.
--LEVELING did not seem particularly fun, and there were many max level characters at about 10-12 hours into the server.
--The CRAFTING and armor/weapon trait system seemed like it might turn out to be interesting, but with that we hit the biggest issue with this game: GAMBLING for EVERYTHING.

Gambling seemed to be pretty much the only way to progress in this game.
Aside from unlocking (not upgrading) new skills and a single ability point every level (or every 2 levels) everything else is gambling.
Want to upgrade the skill you just got? Roll a dice to see what percentage of a level you get with your upgrade materials.
Want to upgrade your weapons? Armor? Passives? Same thing.
If you are unlucky enough, then it can take you literally 3 times more materials to level up your skills that it did someone with decent luck. And with this game giving you over 15 skills to max per weapon and with all of your armor/weapons/accessories....
Do yourself a favor and just play something else.
