    The game still has horrendous bugs. While NGD continues to develop minor content changes, they have yet to address existing incorrect content. Moreover, NGD appears to favor one of the realms over all the others (why this should be, I have yet to understand. Perhaps the developers have characters in that realm).

    As a result, I must again take a leave of absence from the game. It's a pity, though; the game has tremendous potential.

    Pros: dedicated user base, multiple platform clients

    Cons: mind-numbing grind, unclear rules, nothing being done about cheats and hacks, apparent developer favoritism, outdated graphics, misplaced collision boxes, continuing unfixed bugs    … Expand

    Firstly, the game is rather unpolished. The user interface is (extremely) rough and my character floats an inch or so off the ground.

The user interface is (extremely) rough and my character floats an inch or so off the ground. Combat and quests are completely uninteresting if you've played a fantasy MMO in the last 10 or so years; you'll be bored of Hub-based quests and combat that requires you to stay completely still (even changing the angle of the camera or your character's facing stops your current action and prevents you from attacking). Menus are sometimes confusing to navigate and the game seems as though it was translated from another language entirely (and poorly at that). Attention to detail is abysmally low (I read that a dummy dodged my blow in the combat log and I'll reckon that structures as well might do that as well.)
    The game has a stat system, but that only attempts to pidgeonhole the player into a certain race/faction in order to play a class they're interested in to its potential. There are hints of a crafting system but I couldn't get far enough in before the game disconnected me and I just don't have the heart to launch it again.
    The endgame PVP might be interesting, but its prospects are limited with fixed-camera standing combat pulled straight from the genre as it was 10 years ago. It's free to play, but definitely not worth the 1.7GB download.
    I have played a multitude of Free-To-Play MMOs and this comes off as half as polished and interesting as Perfect World Online, on just about every front sans the graphics, which it meets or exceeds; graphics alone get you nowhere though.    … Expand

    To be fair, I didn't give the game much of a chance. When loading it up I had expectations of somewhat of a spiritual successor to Dark Age of Camelot's glory days of RvR combat, but was sorely disappointed by the class system and user interface. Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but there's not even a keystroke to cycle between targeting the nearest enemies. I wish I could have stuck itTo be fair, I didn't give the game much of a chance.

    It's so appallingly bad. It's almost shocking. I mean, it's a brand new game. I assume people put time and money into it? No, yes?

The sole redeeming quality of this game is the 'Die' option in the menu, after a 90 second wait... your character dies. Feeling somewhat different, and a little hurt on the inside, I decided to post this as a warning to you not to play this game. Please, spare yourself the experience. I think I'll go take a few showers and try to get past this now.… Expand

    This game is so bad that I am actually writing a review on it. When I first had a look at it, it was promising. RvR was definitely interesting. However, when I started to play, it was horrid.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played this game since beta where it was extremely fun to play, however the company got greedy and started focusing more on making money and improving graphics than improving the game-play and balance.

    The time you have to spend in this game to get to the end level is enormous, specially for new players who don't know the game which will just make it even harder, besides that the game is extremely unbalanced at the moment because ngd rarely touches this part of the game, to them, money is more important then the player experience.

    The first thing you do in this game is grind until you are high enough level to enter the war zone which is an open area accessible through a wall that makes it impossible for the other realms to enter (unless they invade.) When you are high level the grinding doesn't stop though, you still have to grind for money so that you can pay for armor/weapon repairs (and arrows if you're an archer.)

    Even though NGD made a promise that paying players would not have an advantage over non paying players in pvp, this is untrue, paying players has an easier time because they can buy boxes which gives them the items you have to grind for and the chances of getting something good is high, if you can't use it you can sell it to another player for more gold than you can earn by grinding.

    The game focuses on rvr combat though where you have to capture all forts and castles of another faction to be able to invade another realm to steal their crystals, when all crystals have been stolen you can enter the door and talk to a dragon which will grant you a wish, all the people in the cave will vote on which wish they want and democracy will decide in the end.
    One would think that you'd have to use strategy, coordination and skill to invade, but the reality is that the faction with most players online gets to invade another realm.

    TL;DR
    the idea of fighting a big war is pretty fun but will get dull pretty quickly and is not worth the enormous amount of time you have to spend on getting a character to level 60 not to mention the balance is horrible and you have to pay if you don't want to grind once you get level 60.    … Expand

    In my life I have never experienced a game as unplayable as this game, it is literally impossible to enjoy this game since it does it's best effort to suck.

The first thing is just the controls and movement itself. The controls are completely broken and useless, just the act of moving is extremely difficult. Let me explain, you can move with WASD however, the camera will be fixed towards the angle where the character is looking unless he/she is standing still. To change the looking angle you have to right-click. The next issue is the fact that what to do and how is completely unclear. No real tutorial or even menus explaining, it's like someone threw you into this game you have no idea on how to play and said "go". I also have to complain about the graphics, they look horrible, The Lord of The Rings online, a 2007 game looks much better than this game, in fact, you should download that game instead of this worthless crap. Do not download it, it is a waste of disk space, therefore it gets a two out of ten.… Expand

    Champions of Regnum boasts some big and enticing features. With Realm vs Realm being its main source of player retention, it aims to bring a huge dynamic player-driven battlefield to the MMO market. With these big goals set in place Regnum strives to achieve a large player base. Unfortunately it doesn’t. Its overall lackluster gameplay, unbalanced systems and chore-like grind make for a mundane and slow-plodding experience. If you’re looking for a Realm vs Realm MMO to play there are plenty of others out there. You’d be much better off playing the older and yet less archaic Dark Age of Camelot.
