What players say

Players describe it as a free, keyboard-driven MMO that plays like a classic MUD or text-based game, with no cash shop and fast core loops. The graphics are dated and the controls are confusing at first, but those who push through find an addictive, grind-heavy experience. The biggest downside is the very low player count, which leaves the multiplayer aspects nearly dead.
