I was spoiled with another game like this but better overall layout and better graphics.

Very enjoyable game. The community has been very helpful to me when i started out with this, the mentor system they use is a great idea for new players! Only one thing drags it down a little for me and that is the RU - EN translations. The translations for some of the things ingame like quest texts use very broken English almost as if machine translation has been used instead of people.

This is a very fun game, and the expansion changed alot for the better - you should try it out . Has the spirit of might and magic. Has a great story and has something thats missing in newer mmos - open world pvp. The game actually rewards time spent and equipment is usable at endgame even if playing solo to defend or PK. You can own an astral ship, an island, mounts, and a neat assortment of classes and races. It even has cinemas, underwater combat, a lot of maps and pvp is not forced. The population seems to be very stable. The bad? The f2p server does lean towards spending at least $10 a month in cash shop if you plan on staying on raids at end game however, I prefer this model of f2p vs archages or teras. The P2P server is amazing on its own since all items are lootable and no cash shop item gives advantage. The game reminds me of Ultima in a way. I play on the f2p since I can fool around when not playing hard core and simply drop a few dollars and have them ready for when I want to play hard (considering incense lasts 30 days and doesnt cost more than 3 dollars - it was a good investment). Its pay2win if you've never played a semi-free game like tibia or fff, other that this is one of the most impressive and cheap freemium game around

I played this for about 6 months, and while it lasted I enjoyed it. I quit since about a year though. Loved the more mature content, the Soviet Russian atmosphere (Empire) and the character models with animations that were all properly done in motion capture. I quit playing over a couple reasons, that can probably be applied to most MMOs: - Time consuming - Low population and toxic end-game community (much worse on EU server) - Must join guild or miss content - High monetary cost to stay competitive (especially in PvP) - Daily quests that compel one to keep playing - EU/EN version is several months behind the RU updates In conclusion, this is a nice polished free game to pass some time, so long one doesn't push to become competitive. Overall it looks like World of Warcraft (mostly the UI), but skill system, art design, story and atmosphere couldn't be more different. Recommended for casuals that don't mind dated cartoony graphics, and adult content.
