👍 Strengths

97 reviews enjoy it immensely, the most upvoted calling it a nostalgic MMO. 46 praise its skill based, classless design and deep progression through any skill. 26 like the freedom of open ended systems and discovery driven play. Gameplay ranks 267th of 1396, Content Volume ranks 165th of 1351, and Multiplayer ranks 306th of 642. Some love odd options such as playing as a cow or a werewolf, and others praise a friendly, active community.

👎 Where it falls short

34 reviews criticize the developers, saying they ignore player concerns, and some describe heavy handed moderation. 29 find the graphics rough and dated, and Visuals & Sound ranks 1239th of 1249. 26 say it offers little guidance for new players, with no quest markers or dungeon finder, and some call the starting island crowded. Tech & Support ranks 983rd of 1399, and a few say it only opens up once you get past the tutorial island.
