After all this time i have to say this game isnt worth playing anymore especially for new players.
New servers get started all the time and the old ones keep dying out because of this practice. Instead of focusing on content and keep players interested, they start new servers and grab cash from whales willing to spend hundreds of dollars to be on top of the leaderboard for a short while. Then servers get merged togheter because lacking new players and that cycle starts over. Start new server - cash in on whales - servers losing players - merge servers - start new server... and so on.
Also events are created with no effort what so ever. Always the same events just painted with another theme. In my opinion the devs are not willing to make a fun game to enjoy. Instead they focus on mechanics to grab quick money and you get little to nothing in return. Dont get me wrong i understand f2p games need to have some way to make money, nobody wants to work for free, but this practice of milking the game keeps killing it on the long run.
Sadly i cant recommend this game anymore.

Tl;dr: only start playing if your wallet can support it
