Eat faster!!!

It's a good game solo or with friends, but sometimes RNG will get you. You can go 10 days and reroll and never get an upgrade table.

In short: This game is fun and you should try it. It satisfies a lot of action itches, and it's always improving. It's not hyperbole to say that either; the devs are constantly updating core systems to work and feel a lot better.

Not as short: You can read a summary of the game from this page or other reviews, but the concerns most folks will have are about it being F2P, and if the game is fun enough to sustain interest. WF's F2P model is summed up as a well-modeled wait-gated, mild resource farming game. Don't be scared off just yet. You can play as much as you want for free. The game doesn't limit you with tokens to play, or waiting to heal yourself. What you wait for are things like crafting times. Resource requirements for most things are pretty mild (3-5 runs of a map should get you most stuff). You can even trade other players for platinum, the game's premium currency.

Game play is a lot of fun, and if you played before and got tired of it, it might be time to try again. The melee system was revamped, missions are much more engaging now rather than mostly fetch quests, story and lore are told much better than it used to be, and the game even has a few end-game elements such as warring factions (not PvP, but rather setting up defenses for invasions). The game focuses well on PvE, even though there are some options for dueling and 2v2 sparring.

If you never played, the game has more than enough to keep you busy (and more importantly, interested). If you left a while ago, you can return now. The game has changed so much that most every system that you thought was lacking is now quite robust. The game isn't done improving yet though, and it's technically labeled a "beta" still, but the reality is that WF will keep changing and improving, and it looks like it's all going down a good path.

This game didn't look amazing from videos, but it's a really fun exploration RPG. Lots of gear to craft and find, and all sorts of magic! Multiplayer is more than 4 players, and has PvP. The huge 1.1 update just came out (Dec 1, 2011)!
