I've started playing many years ago and I keep coming back. Despite being a difficult game to play for completely free, Elsword provides a unique 2.5d side scroller experience that you can't find anywhere else. KoG has been involved in multiple scandals before, but if you are just a casual player, it shouldn't affect you and your gameplay at all. Story is interesting if you're into that, and like any other Korean mmorpg, it is very grind heavy if you really want to get far. They also have a lot of costumes you can buy, most of which are released every other month or so and purchase is limited to several months (so you could even play the game as a fashion show if you really wanted to lol)
