Im a pioneer player when the game first released. Back then, there was only one server call "English", later on they change it to "Dragon" if i remember correctly. This game focus alot on pvp which required the skill of jumping and the timing of executing ur skills. U can only win by skills and experience, not by paying money. U can also choose to become a redname pker to pk players and its very fun when lots of ppl chasing after u. The weekly guildwar is what every players are waiting. Lots of players jumping around, skills flying everywhere, players hiding around to kill other players like an assasin, different time zone players take turns to protect the pole. Although it is very lag during the guildwar, players keep playing. It is the best game i had played.
Couple of years later they start to sell the rare drop item Dragonball by paying with real money and the nightmare started. Dragonball can improve the quality of gear and open sockets for weapon. For other type of socket gears, u can get them from mob drops or opening the sockets by spamming meteors, with luck, u can open the sockets. So such gears fetch a very high price in the market. It makes the economy very balance for f2p and p2w. F2p can grind for hrs to earn, p2w just buy the gold and buy socket items from other players in the market. But later on, they start to implement open sockets using Dragonball. Soon, lots of p2w players running around with full dual sockets gear owning everyone. Lots of players start to quit the game since then.
Fast forward, they start to implement lots of OP features in the game. The p2w players basically can pay for everything they need to overpower till the extend that a veteran player only hit them 1 dmg. I can even say this, if u create a new acc and dump lots of money in, u can become OP in just couple of days.
So ask urself, would u want to play such game? This game dun even worth 1 star from me.
