This game will literally take over your life. Even with 4k hours at the time of writing this I have hardly done half of what the game has to offer. Let me just say if you want an MMO to really sit down and be a digusting neckbeard over, this is the one.

PROS:
- The combat is literally the best thing ever, combos and classes are very intuitive and responsive and i've never played anything like it.

- The world. This games areas are incredible, every zone feels different and I enjoy my time anywhere. (pls add a snow biome)

- Graphics. To go along with an amazing looking world, the graphics make it even nicer to look at. Just going around on my horse on remastered mode is very breathtaking. The ocean is even nicer.

- Character Customization. You can literally change the thiccness if your girl's thighs, who wouldn't want to do that? No but seriously this game has better customization then any mmo I have ever seen, even better then some single player games for that matter. You could spend hours making a character exactly how you want it.

- The complexity of the game. This is a pro because it can take you months to understand what is going on and I LOVE that about the game because it's overly complex in a good way to keep you hooked and always wanting to learn things.

- Life Skills. You can literally play the game without killing any mobs. The life skilling in this game is so complex it impresses me. You can make tons of farms, train horses, gather ♥♥♥♥, build boats, sail the ocean, hunt sea monsters, and more. This is definitely a strong point in the game.

CONS:
- Cash shop. The WORST thing in this game is the cash shop. Yes it's free to play in Korea so I GUESS it's justified over there but giving us insane amounts of pay to win in our cash cash AFTER buying the game is ridiculous. Buying pets is a MUST you cannot play this game optimally without them so that's another $50 minimum after buying the game.

- RNG. The RNG in this game is bad, sure every game has rng but literally everything in this game is RNG. Enhancing, buying stuff off the marketplace, boss drops, money making, life skilling, literally anything you can think of has RNG baked in somewhere.

- Lag. This game got a server upgrade earlier in 2018, it helped but there is still massive lag. I have fiber and i have insane lag spikes for seemingly no reason and it screws me over everytime. Large scale pvp is even worse with all the effects going off. FPS is another issue but it's ALOT better then it used to be so i'm not going to bash them for it because they are fixing that at least.

- The Grind. You could see this as a PRO if you love grinding, but in this game grinding means killing the same mobs over and over for hours at a time. And to make it worse they literally have 5iq and just sit there doing nothing in most grind spots. Higher level mobs like Hystria and Aakman, even Gyfin mobs have IQ but anything else is honestly a joke and you just throw abilities into them laughing. Grinding is fun don't get me wrong because who doesn't love getting gear upgrades, but the mobs are sooo stupid.

- AFKing. The afking in this game is not required but HEAVILY reccomended to make faster progress. You can AFK overnight and have your character gain xp, skill points, process stuff from storage, auto run to level stamina/strength, level horses, and more. If you hate keeping your PC on all night, keep this in mind.

Finally, should you buy the game? Honestly buy it and give it a shot. Level to 56 and if you like the combat and are willing to play a slightly p2w mmo go for it. There is a lot i mentioned as cons but thats because I love this game and I want it to improve. Most of the things I complain about are here because a new player would see them and think (well thats stupid). And you are right, but it's not enough for me to want to quit.
