Advantages: its pretty and theres lots of things to hunt

Disadvantages: game play can be awkward

I was so excited to try this product and i guess it has both good and bad points,i first got it a while back when it first came out then i think i payed £60pounds which included 3 months subscription i didntreally play it but recently i decided to give it another go and was pleased to find the monthly fee had been greatly reduced they where also offering discounts at regular intervals to sign more ppl up.Now before this i played wow so my first impresions where it wasnt as colourful or vibrant but the art work was pleasnt.Intially the game play is fun with different jobs and quests i found it more awkward to play ,the actual control of your charecter didnt seem as easy as it should of been and also my loading screens took ages,when i did finally get to a major town i couldnt move my charecter there was so much lag:(.I did however join a guild that where completeing raids and group runs it appears the game becomes alot more difficult to play solo as you progress through the game.to sum it up its ok im not sure its worth the monthly fee but they are working on more expasions and improvements for it, as with most of these i recomend taking a free trial which you should be able to get from there website before you payout for the game or the subscription on the whole its quaint and pretty but it doesnt blow you away if you havnt played a online game before there are probably easier ones to start with

Summary: average online rpg
