I played it. It seemed rather shallow, but it was a free game, so hey, who can complain? I didn't play it much so I can't really give you an in depth description. However, I can tell you it's on xfire's top 10 games being played, so that has to count for something.

To be honest, it's not that good. Unless you can get a high level player to power level you up, it's not that worth it.

The leveling system feels like it takes forever to do. The enemies are often tougher then you are (even when you're the same level as them), which makes things complicated. Also, the quests also seem impossible, or take an extremely long time to do.

And the higher level players just like to kill noobs. I only have a level 18 character, and I quit a while ago. I just play my other PC games now.

Yeah, that's exactly the reason why I was wondering about it.

I played for about 3 days and I thought it was really really booorrring.  You can download it and try it for yourself to see if you like it.

It's a very shallow game all you do is kill stuff to level up and get new items. That's it.

I’ve been playing the game for about 6 months now. It’s took me awhile to get into the game. The game revolves around player vs player and not some much long term quest, so your goal is just to level up and get some great skills* And the skills are one of the up’s to the game* and get some good weapons and just fight other players. The quests are kind of boring and really get repetitive after so long. Just your basic find XXX number of items and get a reward. I’ve liked the game because I’m kind of into the PVP type of game and it takes some strategy. Also getting into a server is really hard they are over populated! So there maybe time when you cant get in at some point in the day. Also there is a lag *For me anyway * in the game not to bad not but you can notice it. All in all it’s a free MMO and it does give you a lot for free. If you got some friends who want to try it go for it, or just test it out yourself.

While the game can be worth it for PvP, itll take you 10,000 hours of plattime at the most optimal builds to get about half way up the lvls, yeah I said 10,000 hours. Its not designed for the average western audience, its made for hardcore koreans.

It's horrible (yes I know it's free). Everything about it is shallow and mundane. I would try out something like Anarchy Online (if it still has players) or Dungeon Runners (ya thats kinda of shallow too but at least it's fun).
