I imagine that at one point in time ArcheBlade was brilliant and that it set a new bar in MMOs in terms of more dynamic gameplay that strayed away from the typical (and, personally, dull) "press 1, press 3, press 2, repeat" mechanic seen in most MMOs.

However, it seems like the developers have forgotten that sometimes to retain their player base and keep their game fresh and new for newbies, they have to update the game itself. That means gameplay, servers, graphics, etc. The gameplay feels rather awkward, the scenarios look bland and outdated and the game feels really repetitive. I'm not sure why but the game runs with a lag that puts all other lag in other games to shame - almost unplayable, and on the Tutorial level! Imagine the lag when I finally joined a match. The only point that redeems the game is the variety of playable characters and lack of P2W, which is great! But not when your character is lagging all over the stage like nobody's watching.

I now have a new record: 0.2 hours on record on ArcheBlade before I uninstalled it. Wow.
