    With good graphics, great gameplay and concept behind the game, and overall decent sounds this one might be right for many of the MMORPG fans who have been waiting for a good title.

    It seems like the beginning of a friendly, helpful community, and the world is so immense and full of life you'll want to see every inch of it.

    Skill-based character development is easy to grasp despite being amazingly complex in combination.

    Even tasks as trivial as harvesting can give hours and hours of joy as you tweak your actions to maximize your material take or your experience take. The community is welcoming and player progression gives you a constantly changing group of people around to play with.

    Has the potential to turn into a real contender, but not until they smooth out player introduction, get some more players on board (a Catch .22, granted), take care of network lag, and introduce quests to make gameplay more rewarding and better paced overall.

Even if it wasn´t the expected big success, still today this game has a passionate fanbase. The graphics look beautiful, the quests and the gameplay are interesting and the RPG elements work fine. Only the bugs spoil a bit of the fun. But I recommend it to MMORPG fans, who want to experience something new. The game is free on Steam, check it out!… Full Review »

Character animations are smooth and fluid. The world is living and breathing. The skill system is vast and character development options are boundless. This classic sandbox MMORPG boasts an enormous amount of PvE and PvP content. The game did not receive the publicity it needed to truly compete with the other big names of its generation. It is a hidden gem and certainly worth playing.… Full Review »
