Renewed my subscription to this game yesterday hoping to find something rewarding to do in this game. Well, that wasn't the case. The networking part of this game is very poorly done. I only played for 2 hours and I died 2 times because of the huge influence even the smallest amount of lag has on this game. And there's the fact that lag can cancel what you are doing like gliding if you press the assigned buttons too fast at the right moments. Which was my case. The second time I died was because I couldn't cast any spells on the monster because even the slightest lag causes the game to become extremly unresponsive and pretty much watched my character slowly killed by a mob, 4 levels lower than me. I tried other mmo's that I had installed, and I didn't have this kind of trouble in them at that time. So that rules out my internet connection.

And then came the feeling that I wasn't moving anywhere because this game is a grind. I don't mind having to earn a lot of experience to level up if you have interesting stuff to do in the meanwhile. Which wasn't the case. I will probably play this game from time to time desperately hoping to find something nice about this game.

Finally, I can't understand why so many people applaud this game's mechanics. The only thing that I've seen with this game is a generic mmorpg skeleton from 6-7 years ago, wrapped up in nice graphics.

Bottom line, I've played much more better games than this and still have plenty of other games to play. This game sits at the deep bottom in my preferences list. As much as NCsoft tries to advertise this game as a "western style mmorpg", at it's heart it's still a mindless korean mmorpg. My recommendation is to look at other mmo's like warhammer,wow,guildwars and avoid this game. It's not bad,but neither that good.
