This game is unique, you will either love or hate it.

I would recommend only if you are an hardcore fan of crafting with a mix of PVP/RP in a realistic medieval atmosphere. You have to join with a group of friends or an existing guild, this is not for solo gameplay.

The issues are mainly on the technical side, and some dev decisions that players feel wrong.

Pros:
- The only "survival" game that provide crafting and combat on this scale.
- No wipe, you also don't lose your base during the night when you can't defend it.
- Atmosphere of the game really feels medieval
- Enjoy politics, treasons and drama.

Cons:
- The servers can not sustain the originally planned numbers. Crashes happen often.
- Bugs and exploits are discovered, patched, and yet more come.
- Long to grind, especially if you don't understand the mechanics. If you haven't played Your Own version of the game previously, get some help from veterans.
- Pricey if you need a starter pack. If you have YO, you have a free ticket for one character.
- Combat is a bit clunky. It's far from being as good as mount & blade, but for an MMO it's quite good.

Notes
- Cash shop is not PayToWin as in some korean mmos, but certainly helps to some extent. You can have a x2 XP boost for one hour that you can activate only once every 24H. You also have death insurance which prevents loss of skill while dying.
It is not as P2W as it seems because XP really depends of the capacity of your group to get ressources (like good food which improves XP rate). The boost is nice but if you don't have those it will make you as good as someone who has good food for... one hour.
Alignment can prevent skill loss during death, which you can easily get high enough by playing and praying.
So it indeed helps, but in the long run it is not game breaking at all. Rest of the cash shop are skins and tickets for more characters.

The key to win is numbers, get a large group, get carefully involved in politics, get good at pvp, and you'll be fine.

Conclusion : If you are a medieval fan, have friends, and you don't mind to grind and suffer, go get it. If not, wait for final release.
- This game is unique and has incredible potential. But it has a lot of issues. So be prepared.
