Not really sure if my personal experience is worth much to anyone here but I will share it just in case anyone is viewing the forums and debating on purchasing the game or if developers or staff happen to be browsing around and are curious what the experience feels like to a player like myself.
I log into the game usually roughly around 9 or 10AM PST, during this time period the game is smooth, fun and enjoyable. This is on the Klap server which is my server of choice. At roughly around 3-4 PST until 9-10 PST the game then begins to get a little rocky as far as playability is concerned. Lag becomes unbearable, several npc’s refuse to interact with my character, and sometimes I even get stuck in a battle screen. Other weird bugs begin to happen such as the elevators leaving without me leaving me stranded in midair.
As shown below.
I have also experienced other issues such as my premium token which I put onto the market mysteriosly dissapearing, and reappearing. It did eventually get sold at least. Which brings me to ticket response times. Which is unthinkable. It’s been two days from when I submitted that ticket and still received no response from the staff. TWO DAYS. That is not a acceptable wait period. A few hours is acceptable.
Gameplay itself however I have found very enjoyable, I love how diverse you can make your character as far as class choice goes. While many builds of course wouldn’t be viable the freedom of choice is a breath of fresh air in a generation where the MMoRPG genre is going more and more simple with talent/skill choices. The only real place as far as gameplay is lacking is character appearance customization, and a real crafting system. Currently there is very few things you can craft. I can live without a crafting system though because where it lacks in crafting the game makes up in a classic rpg feel. Playing the game makes me remissness over secret of mana. The way combat feels, the cartoony graphics, and the lovable music is all very well done and brings back those very fond memories of quality rpg’s you just don’t find anymore.
Only things I’d change are mostly QoL things.
Reduce prices on companion food/potions.
Increase spawn rates on enemies/quest objectives.
Change dungeons to 3 per day each dungeon.
Reduce the pricing of the Premium token.
With the premium token being 190TP If TP is to be 100 per $10 thats roughly $19 a month for premium service. $4 more then a subscription for any of the top tier MMo’s. Which face it, this game has no right to even attempt to charge the same amount as. It’s simply over priced.
Thats pretty much my thoughts on the game as a whole.
