The verdict
A free, old-school WoW-style MMO with a standout soul/class system and dynamic rifts, but a tiny population, heavy cash shop and account/login problems. Skip it if you want a busy modern MMO or live in Russia.
Great for
Solo questers and nostalgic old-school MMO fans who love build crafting and free-to-play
Main risk
Dead-feeling servers, pay-to-win shop and login/account problems (lost characters, Russian IP block)
What players love
Nostalgic old-school MMO feel, like WoW
