This game is just plain boring with very little content.

Ok first of all let me start out by saying that the only reason a lot of people (such as me) like this game and gave it a high score is because it was free...i see absolutely no other reason why people keep giving it 9.0+. This game has very little content and there is NOTHING to do in this game either then play the very boring campaign or PvP or craft items in a sucky crafting system. All the other little things such as trading with people and making you Guild cape or "buying your own guild island (which is a load of crap if you say thats a cool thing because you HAVE to buy the stupid 2000gold island to have guild battles which is the only use it has). PvP is random you go to a town and click a button and boom you are randomly put in a team against another random team. You can't choose who to fight so if you wanted to duel your friend you would both have to hope you would be put on the teams dueling. Also PvP matches usually end very quickly but they can be fun which is a thing i actually like about this game but then again if you don't like just dueling non stop (basically saying if you don't like PvP) this game is pretty much useless to you. The PvP however is riddled with tons of options such as capture the flag and whatever other types of matches there are which should keep it interesting for at least a little while. Also to PvP with other guilds as i said you must have a guild island and to purchase it it costs 2000g and to design yor own cape (not needed for anything just for looks) costs 1000g. The campaign is horrible. The missions are boring despite what other people say (like saying that thsi game has "unique" and "Special" quests that no other games have) and i just got bored of them almost instantly. I only got to Old Ascalon and i didn't even have the will to go on the game just got too boring wayyyyy too fast. Also the level cap is 20 which can be a good thing and a bad. Good because you can get to it fast and bad because well i am going to explain that in my next paragraph. The non PvP part of the game is a joke since this entire game is based around PvP. There really is no point to play the campaign unless you are trying to have fun doing something other then PvP (which is unlikely seeing how dull and boring it is). There really is no point in getting to lvl20 since you can't lvl past that and there is no point in even trying to play after 20 since you should PvP at lvl20 which is the whole point of even leveling you character to that in the first place. But now whats the point of doing that when you can just make a character at lvl20 without having to lvl him to 20 through that gruesome bore fest. This eliminates the need to lvl your character to 20 since you can just make one at lvl20 already. Then when you do make a character at 20 all you will do is PvP which will get boring pretty fast since thats all you will need to be doing. Now The sound is weird and it feels like its not even there which is stupid and there is not combat music either which feels dull. Plus the music just sucks and it keeps playing the same things over and over and over. The graphics are good i will give it that that the water is gorgeous and the scenery is amazing. Skill...this game does not require as much skill as everyone says. I played and got to lvl 8 and it was extremely easy and frankly i don't see a reason why it should get much harder later on. All you do is click an enemy and just use your buffs and attack moves how the heck does it require skill not even in PvP did i see a need for skill i won about 50% of the time its not that hard you don't need a lot of skill to play this game. Also for the grouping its not as easy to find a group as people say. You won't see a lot of "looking for group lvl7 ranger//warrior" or things like that too much. Infact 80% of the time your screen will be flooded with "WTS wood or BUYING IRON FOR XG!!". Now let me clear that whole "is this game MMORPG or not". It sort of is and then again it isn't. Yes you do group with people and you kill monsters and you have a job to do (like keeping the casters safe, or if you are a healer to heal the party) and you do PvP against others or with teams but then again it isn't. The reason its not like a normal MMORPG is because the lack of exploring and the fact that the only place you see people are in towns and outposts. The second you step outside if you are not in a party you will not find a single person ANYWHERE. Also you can't jump, swim, step over the smallest rocks, jump down the SMALLEST cliffs, and there are an insane number of invisible walls. Overall this game isn't all too bad its just plain with not much content and things to do. However it does offer free online gameplay and pretty fun PvP. There are much better online games other then it right now but they are all PTP (pay to play if you did not know). This game would suit you well if cannot pay monthly and want a MMORPG like experience.
