    This game is very addictive, I've played it since I found it free2play on steam. Every day I have something to do, it's not boring at all. There is a lot of stuff you can do, and it's not easy to get to the highest level.

    Decent game, Graphics are nice the gameplay is smoothe. Very easy to figure out what your doing and master the quests and learning all the basics. I think this game should be recommended to alot of people. And i do believe its of decent taiste

    For a F2P its really nice. and Far better then P2P Overly rated WoW

    One hell of an MMO, despite the horrible cash shop based pay to win style. You find your way around that and the no so horrible looking graphics, then you have yourself really well balanced MMO with a unique PvP system, no stupid factions, makes open world PvP fun. PW did good, but messed up on parts that clearly blinds ignorant dumb asses

    Expect to be pulled in by the challenging, but not too difficult PVE environment. If there is anything worth complaining about regarding this game it is that the management has changed a few times, resulting in poorly executed maintenance issues. Highly recommended for anyone who is into flashy appearance combat MMO's (those character wings are just gorgeous!)    … Expand

    Forsaken World is an MMO experience. There is pleanty to do, lots of cool features such as titles and pets, and it is free. In my opinion Forsaken World can go toe to toe with WoW and win.

    A good game to play for free, with a lot of quests.
    Somethings could be better, but I'm analysing that this is a new game, and it will grow wit our critics and gameplay.

FW boasts a random team generating system for entering instances that allows you to quickly and easily acquire higher level equipment and complete higher level quests. There are numerous crafting jobs to engage in and everyone gets a pet, so if that's your thing I think you should enjoy this game as well. The music, graphics, and gameplay are all generally excellent and the game boasts open PvP servers. The biggest problem with this game is, as people have pointed out, a dearth of money/resources and the strange cash system the game employs. Lower level enemies are also ridiculously high on HP, which results in a series of drawn out and non-threatening (but resource draining) fights. I think FW could be at least a 9 if it would work on reducing the HP of its trash mobs a bit so that quests could be run a little faster ... especially on the PvP servers, where the open PvP makes long quests at one location a foolish waste of time unless you are in a group. I think I should also mention that this game boasts a ton of features that act a double edged sword ... on the one hand, the features are all unique and interesting to explore. On the other hand, if you fail to explore them all you may end up severely gimping yourself and spending long hours wandering about clueless and underpowered. One feature I think FW could definitely do without is Experience Aid. PWI ought to just drop this money sink and make experience slightly easier to come by while reducing the strength of their trash mobs to accommodate faster quest completion and experience gain. All in all, the game deserves an 8. It is solid and generally well designed, but it needs to overhaul its persistent world mobs, experience pace and loot tables to be a top tier game.… Expand

    My first impressions of this game are that it is similar to WoW, so that is what I will compare it to. My only experience of WoW was the up to lvl 20 trial version which I played a few months back, and I must say that I enjoyed that very much.

When I first started play Forsaken World, I found that I had the similar feeling as when playing the trial of WoW, except that when I reached level 20, I still had the full game at my fingertips. WoW trial ends and expects me to play £10 a month for a service which Forsaken World offers for free.
    While Forsaken world may lack some of the features that define WoW, it is still a hugely valid MMO that players do not give it enough credit for.
    It is a good looking game, and while the environments maybe slightly basic graphically, the aesthetic more than makes up for it (and that's all that matters at the end of the day really), and the characters models are extreamely good.
    While I only got to try out one race, there are plenty to choose from, as well as different classes, offering much needed variety and plenty of replay value once you get bored of a particular character.
    The world is open and varied, and there are plenty of places to explore and perform quests in.
    While I have heard complaints about the battle system, I found it standard for MMOs, and I have never heard any complaints about any MMO battle systems before, some of which are worse than Forsaken Worlds, so there are no issues there.
    Overall, I feel that this game is a very valid, free alternative to World of Warcraft, it has all the charm and gameplay, without the huge pricetag. And besides, the game is free, how can you complain. Go try it.    … Expand

    The game is very addictive, but doesn't really give a lot of help. In addition, while there is quite a bit that can be done for free, you really need to spend money to get the good stuff. Not many opportunities to earn rare things. Still, it is a lot of fun, if you pick the right character class.

Now, i've been playing this game for a longer than than usual, and even though it's still extremely slow I really did like its change. First of all, I liked the fact that at each level the game gives you some tickets in order to get some free stuff from a different shop, which sells small helpfull items and, hard to believe, money too, making the issues of training and the mount, for instance, extremely easy to pass. Also, first time i tried this game, the leveling was EXTREMELY slow (as any f2p, anyway), but now the game gives you more exp (I think triple more exp than before, but I might be wrong sometimes), and in other words it's much easier to level up now...at some points (it still takes a lot of time, just not like before, I guess). Basically, this game became a lot more accesible than before, at least by me, and as an old WoW player I must say I'm enjoying this game more than long ago, even though it's slow paced, flawed on the technical side, many bug issues (especially since Nightfall patch), and still lots of paid content to get. I suggest to try it if you're bored of others MMORPGs, or else you won't get much from it.… Expand

Now I already have issues with MMOs making me feel like my impact on the game world is non-existent, but this is really driven home the enemies literally respawn seconds after I've killed them.

    Very similar to Lineage II, but for a free game, not bad. Compared with Lineage II, it seems like many features of the newer MMORPGs have been included, and the races are somewhat different. Grinding and leveling seemed pretty slow, so maybe not too good for casual gamers.
