You have to decide how you want to play, plain and simple. If you are F2P, do not hold yourself to the standards of those who pay. If you pay, play well, and spend well. In the end, SF is all about dedication. I have 4 accounts, 2 paid and 2 F2P. On my free characters, I am well past those who spent hundreds in the early days of the server and stopped playing, on my paid characters IYou have to decide how you want to play, plain and simple.

On my free characters, I am well past those who spent hundreds in the early days of the server and stopped playing, on my paid characters I have spent far less than those on top and I am not far behind. If you log in daily and know the ins and outs of SF you can succeed and surpass those who spend money but are not dedicated. No, this game is not WOW or another comparable MMO. But it isn't trying to be. SF is every mobile game on the market, half-assed and thrown together to create a weirdly fun and addictive experience. I like to have it open in a tab while I do homework or watch youtube or even while playing other games and I I check it in between matches. I recommend that anyone who sees this review, make a character or two(on different servers, multi-accounting on a server is not allowed) and stick with it. Play for a week, see if you still like it. Find a guild to join and read about strategy. As a tip, pick the quests that give you the most experience and save your mushrooms. Do not spend them on gear or quests unless it is a weekend event and try to keep the 50% mount as often as you can since it basically doubles your questing for 2 weeks. Anyway, this is a review, not a beginner's guide. I hope that this gets someone to play since I love this game and I hope you do too. 8/10 because it is a browser game and it is not perfect. It is not very inviting to new players -1 and another -1 because it can be very frustrating at times to be F2P… Expand
