The verdict
A deep, faithful 3.5e D&D MMO with puzzle-filled dungeons and huge build variety, but it's dated, heavily monetized and often hard to install or register. Skip it if you want modern polish or hate paywalls.
Great for
Fans of 3.5e D&D who love theorycrafting builds and puzzle-filled dungeon crawls, solo or with friends
Main risk
Launcher or account-creation problems, plus paywalled content and a dated UI, can stop you before you enjoy it
