The verdict
A dated, buggy, pay-to-progress How to Train Your Dragon MMO whose official servers are shut down. Skip it unless you want nostalgia via fan servers.
Great for
Nostalgic HTTYD fans who played as kids and may try fan-run servers
Main risk
Official servers are shut down, so the game can't be played
What players love
Lots of quests, dragons and activities
