The verdict
A free, dated D&D MMO with fun action combat and lots of content, but a heavy grind, pay-to-progress monetization, a shrinking population and launcher trouble. Skip it if you hate grinding or paywalls.
Great for
D&D and Forgotten Realms fans who want a free action-combat MMO to play solo or with friends
Main risk
Heavy time-gated grind and pay-to-progress monetization in a changed, shrinking game
What changed in the last 30 days
30 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews cite launcher and loading failures, trouble paying for currency, and dislike of the leveling changes and nerfs. Based on a few reviews, so moderate confidence.
