What it is:
An eastern themepark MMO based on the Gu Jian Qi Tan world.
It's been out in China for several years so there is content coming.
A buy-2-play model with a strictly cosmetic cashshop.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What it is not:
No pay-2-win at all, not in chinese version either.
WoW, FFXIV, ESO, GW2... etc. It's a unique MMO with it's own identity for sure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros:
Beautiful, gorgeous world. Like really.
Amazing music.
Endgame system including dungeons on different modes.
Lots to do apart from dungeons, like treasurehunts, cardgames, fishing, gathering...
Best housing system I've seen in any MMO.
PvP is superfun and quite balanced if you know your class according to my guildies.
You have several ways to get better gear apart from strictly dungeons/PvP.
Lots of achivements and exploration.
Flying mounts and groundmounts that all look amazing and you get a few free.
Leveling and gearing is quite fast when you have done it once.
Friendly community (mostly)
Beautiful armor that's totally on par with many paid costumes.
Buying mounts, costumes and such unlocks for all your characters.
All classes have easy to switch dual specialization (dps/tank, dps/healer, melee/ranged and so on)
Much content coming soon, like raids, more zones, new classes and more.
Dungeons can be run in 5 or 10 with premade or matchmaking (which is fast and works great)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cons:
Laggy servers sometimes. FPS drops in big fights.
Leveling is tedious even if story is good it's 100% kill or fetch quests.
The localization is horrible. Worst I have ever come across. Please play in chinese with subs.
Dungeons gets boring once you've ran them daily for a while.
Cosmetics is expensive but also logical since it's no sub fee or pay-2-win elements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My score:
8/10

If Gameforge handles this IP well it has huge potential.
Needs some more marketing also.

This is the best feeling I've had in an MMO since I played vanilla WoW 16 years ago and I have played most of the big ones over the past years.
