What I Liked

One of the best looking MMO's out there. Combat isn't bad, with some decent ideas on weapon combinations, but that's been done before.

What I Did Not Like

The game wasn't designed to pull folks in to play a fun game, and then spend money on that fun game, it's designed for people to spend money on the game to have fun.

Want to have a killer look? That costs money.

Want to change a name, appearance, or something else? Costs money.

Want to place 1st in a world event? Pay for the best gear.

Want the best guild? Everyone better pay money for it.

Want the cool looking ground travel look? Gotta pay.

As gamers, this is our fault. It's my fault. I bought early access. Sure, I got a few things out of it, but not enough to justify the cost. But I was so starved for a new MMO, I was weak. They knew that. They prey on that.

Everything in the game is designed to take your money, either through subtle means or just flat out directly. It's not a game meant to have fun, it's meant to force you to pay to have fun. To place first. To have the cool new look.

It's not the first game to do it and it won't be the last. I hope it will be the last for me.

As gamers, we need to do better.

Why I Stopped Playing

Still am, probably through the day this review is posted, but I doubt much longer.

Disclaimer

I have been a gamer for over 30 years. I tend to play mostly PC games. I also bounce around between games A LOT. I may purchase a $60 game and play it for 2 hours or spend $10 on a game and spend 50 hours on it. Even if I played a game a short time, it does not mean it is bad. It just means another game caught my attention. I also complain about flaws in games a lot, even about the littlest of things. Keep that in mind when reading my reviews. If I do not have a complaint, then the game must be special!
