The verdict
A 20-year-old PvP-focused MMORPG with praised faction wars and nostalgia, but newcomers face login queues, broken phone verification, heavy pay-to-win and cheaters. Skip it if you're new or won't spend.
Great for
Returning veterans and PvP fans who want old-school faction wars and clan play and will pay for premium
Main risk
You may not be able to log in at all (queues, phone verification, PC blocks), then face heavy pay-to-win.
What changed in the last 30 days
6 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews cite hours-long login queues on the single server, disconnects during character creation, and phone verification blocking new players. Based on only a few recent reviews, so moderately sure.
