It was an okay game back then but when they switched their payment system to a buy shop hoping to cash in on addicted players, that didn't go so well. Limited worlds to play on and often an area you need to use there is someone training or a bot farming there already. After a while the amount of grinding wasn't amusing though it wasn't as bad as Lineage I/II and EVE Online back in their day. Neither the pets, gliders or surf boards had any real use in the game. Just a neat token to claim you own. Unlike Lineage I and II, pets could be used and controlled separately to aid and assist.
