Cozy MMO to chill in. Love the game play a lot and build variety but a disclaimer to anyone who wants to buy this, please do give the free game a try and Note that if you do want to get into the story and the world you'll NEED Living world and it is not available if you buy the expansions separately. Buying it in the bundle is the most affordable way to get it but even then it is very pricey for in between expansion content. Personally regret buying the expansions separately because Now I have to buy it in game since I cant get them all on steam now, and they are a lot pricier in game when they aren't on sale.

What sets this one apart is the fact that it goes for horizontal progression which is very different from what I've experienced in comparison to many other games of its type where once you hit level 80, get a good set of gear you can use it for the REST OF THE GAME even after new expansions drop since the level cap is 80 and gear stays relevant, you just need to unlock new things through 'masteries', a progression system which I really enjoy.

The game is definetely a good inbetween what a Tab target and an action game is like. Just be prepared because the extra items you buy with cash are numerous such as bag slots and bank expansions but the best thing this game has to offer is an in game cash to premium currency conversion where the value of gold will fluctuate, but this is a good way to keep things viable for players who dont spend too much money to get more items without spending a cent.

Do I recommend this over FF14 or WoW? Probably not. Its story isnt as well done as FF14 with Noticeable Cutscene and game Jank that made me remember this is an Older game but it still has its charm. It isnt a replacement for WoW either but it comes in as a great inbetween and one of the best mmos for a reason with some of the most engaging gameplay out there, a world which hooks me in just as good as the other two games all while being free of a subscription model. Its buy once, own forever.
Should you give it a try? Its free, why the hell not. Not every MMO will click for MMO playersbut this sure as hell is enjoyable as hell. I'm ready to sink in another few thousands of hours
