The long and short of it is, it is more trouble than it's worth.

The game is very populated. You must be willing to PVP to go further in the game. Also, you are most likely going to be paying real money. If you are the type of person who wants to play for a very, very long time, you can get some advantages without money, like buying an island. But the grind to that point would be pretty heavy on your own.

Selling is a huge headache. There are no NPCs to sell to, it has to be on the "action house" equivalent. The market is flooded with high level players selling all tiers of items for less than is reasonable for you to sell them or more money that would be advantageous for you to purchase the item.

The "free game" aspect is short lived and you'll probably be struggling with another player or two for access to the resources in this game. Grinding mats should be more casual and relaxing than having a handful or more other players sprinting to a resource to be the first to click it and only getting a third of the resource because it was exhausted from, recent, over use.

They have an hour long maintenance every day, probably to backup servers. They only have two servers Washington DC and Singapore. People are, generally speaking, a little heavier on the sauciness than the helpfulness. There are masses of guilds, but they have only 1 person in them. The chat is constantly spammed with lonely people talking to themselves about nothing.

I will say the game, for all it's inadequacies, has done a lot better job than other games in this genre. But, to market a game as PTW, inevitably, causes issues.

Final Review:

This game is utter garbage. It is designed around only a couple builds. If you have that build you will be just like everyone else, if you do not, you will die almost instantly. If you do not have a large group, you are a booger being flicked through the air. The landscape is disastrous, everyone is always getting stuck on things and not knowing where to go. The game cannot even load properly because there are too many people in the zone at times, so all you see is blue blobs. Their packets are way too large for their servers to handle. The game is just a PTW piece of trash.

So they have this agreement with Twitch to give drops to people who watch content creators for FOUR long hours. I setup and account and the first day had some young annoying content creators on my screen for what felt like a lifetime. The whole while to find out that they didn't add the item that day like they were supposed to. So it was all a waste. And there is no way to get a hold of anyone to correct this error and the content creators said it was all out of their hands.

My question is: why would you give your money to a company that is unreachable?

The internet is destroying customer to company relationships, responsibility and expectations of excellence. Do not feed the problem by feeding money into companies that do not care about you.

I want to add that, I very much dislike travel in this game. I would be even more upset if I spent real money as it uses thousands of silver to fast travel and you can only do so under very strict conditions. It takes most of your game play to travel if you are a casual player. I am not over exaggerating.

If you go out to find a solo dungeon, there are rarely ever any above a level 1, and you could spend hours looking. And even in the rare chance you get on at 4am and find a dungeon, the quality of the drops are rarely noteworthy. Sometimes you can run a whole dungeon and get 3,000 worth of silver and some junk items that wont sell on the auction house because 10,000 other people are selling the exact same worthless junk. This is the whole model of the game. Run forever to get almost nothing out of it. Unless you have 50 friends who are all coordinated, or have some serious need to waste time, I really think this game is going to be at the bottom of your list of things to do.
