It's a really good game, it has some flaws, mainly the lack of an auction house or an in-game system to help with trades, but it's still really fun.

After playing on the founder server I decided to edit this, first of all: I did hit the recommend button for lack of a better option, but read it more as a "maybe" than a "yes".

Graphics and OST reminiscent of RO but everything else is different, gameplay is more action-based, job system is more complex and the game felt way more like a theme-park mmo with quest lines, instanced dungeons and such (it does seem to get a bit more open as you progress in the game, but don't go expecting anything like the openess of RO). Servers are under heavy load right now and lag is rampant, like every online-only game at launch.

The downside (or why I'm not sure on giving it a "yes") is seeing how IMC is treating the F2P aspect of the game. Right now the free user limitations are ridiculous and seen to do more harm than good for the game; Here are some of the things that non-premium users can't do for example: they can't use trade, can't do dungeons more than 2 times a day, can't share items between their own characters nor put more than one item on the game market besides paying 30% of their selling price as taxes while premium users pay 10%. Seems pretty bad, right? So in order to make it more "fair" to non-premiums, IMC made premium tokens tradeable and put a "free tp" system where you can earn tp (cash shop currency) by staying logged for a certain time, but the limit for this free tp is so small that it only helps gold sellers buy megaphones and spam everyone's chat, while the premium tokens can only be bought with in-game currency after tons of grinding, leaving new players without basic mmo functions such as being able to trade.

I really hope IMC sees how much being greedy can hurt this MMO and stop before it's too late, because it's a fun game with a lot of potential and I'd hate to see it ruined because of greed.
