Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A deep, free-to-start sandbox MMO with full-loot PvP and a player-driven economy. Skip it if you play solo, hate being ganked, or can't tolerate toxic chat and server problems.
Great for
Players who like freedom, grinding, crafting, trading and full-loot PvP with a guild or friends
Main risk
Getting ganked and losing gear, with solo content nerfed and Premium feeling necessary

Many recent negative reviews describe characters stuck on black screens or crashing when entering certain locations, plus lag and server downtime, especially for Russian-region players. Likely a recent technical issue; fairly confident.
