How it feels

A slow, methodical, and cooperative old-school MMORPG where careful exploration and reliance on other players create a tense but rewarding journey through a dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the old-school MMO feel but consistently report a population so low that the game feels dead. There is a split on the armor weight system and inventory limits, with some calling them frustrating and others fine. Several mention the subscription as unnecessary or limiting for basic features like stacking items in storage.
