Worst game ever. Really just make it free or just remove it from steam because why would i spend time in a game i have to pay for later on? its listed as free so make it free. come on do better.

They give returning players 30 days of credit if you bought it before it was shut down several years ago, plus a 7 day free trial, but i bought a sub anyway because they said you could access Arden if you purchase a sub. Nope. No access. There was suddenly a deadline for the Arden CBT, per Ivy from support, even though there is no documentation of that information anywhere else on the internet. Ok, whatever, got a refund. Now they have taken all of my remaining credit days for this version of the game, saying it was taken because I cancelled my subscription.

The map bugs out/freezes and stops responding entirely, so if you are new and out and about and trying to navigate back to your claim, good luck. You're gonna need to re-log a few times if you're too far away from your destination. The horse riding is clunky and horrible if you're traveling on any terrain that isn't 100% flat. Tracking animals is a nightmare, as 90% of the tracks I find lead straight up a mountain and disappear on slopes that are nearly untraversable. Found tracks of an animal you actually need? They will probably disappear and turn into tracks of something else after about 10 minutes of running around. The only thing that makes this game fun and worth while is finding a helpful community of players to play with, but that's hardly worth paying a subscription for.

Subscription REQUIRED. Not even optional like EVE Online is. I would recommend buy LIF:YO and open a private server as all good english servers are dead. Or just play literally any other survival games.
