The verdict
A 2006-era grindy MMORPG that mostly runs on nostalgia. Heavy pay-to-win, bots and Steam login problems; skip it unless you love old-school grinding.
Great for
Nostalgic veterans and patient old-school grinders who want a low-spec MMO to play with friends
Main risk
Heavy pay-to-win, bots and an outdated, emptying game that can't match your memories
What players love
Addictive grind and upgrade gambling
