I had the exact opposite experience, quite enjoyable even with the bugs and lag. And yes there has been massive class balancing and content added with bug fixes since the last iCBT. I expect more bugs and lag during the early access, but I’m ready to deal with it and support the game producers, with fingers crossed that positive change will come. That being said, like anything in life, there is no guaranty that the game will go in the direction I want it to, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.
On a side note more in line with the topic, I find it interesting people call IMC dishonest and money hungry, but 90% off F2P games have a big amount of content behind a pay wall or are incredible P2W oriented and the rest are either B2P or P2P. I have personally gave up on the F2P format and don’t expect it from a game that has F2P as it’s main feature. Finally, I was ready to wait until June if my friends weren’t going to get the founder pack (the same way I forced myself not to play on the Korean server), but some are not that patient. However, I do understand the concern about the fragmented community and the less wealthy countries being left out, which to me seem like the only reasonable arguments.
