The verdict
A dated, free WoW-style MMORPG with a distinctive dual-class system and lots of quests, held back by crashes, heavy pay-to-win and a thin population. Skip it if you hate cash shops.
Great for
Nostalgic old-school MMO fans who enjoy relaxed questing, class combos and crafting without a subscription
Main risk
Frequent memory-leak crashes and an endgame that effectively requires cash shop spending
What players love
Old-school nostalgic charm and relaxed questing
