Read this review!!
Let me save you some time... The game is fun to play but dont bother playing. I am in the top 100 of my server and part of a top 2 guild. I understand the concept of a free to play game. This game though is dirty about it. The only way to keep up is to literally pay $100+ USD. Not in total but in per transaction! I have always been willing to put down a couple of dollars of two knowing that thats how the developers make money. On the other hand it is terrible to get repeatedly smashed (often consecutively) by people with items and gear that each have a $100 USD price tag.
But it gets worse... After a huge calibrated effort across the games 100+ dead and dying servers we made a came to the conclusion that the top guilds are run by the developers. While this should be fine and maybe even more fun. The top guilds are horrible! They hit you relentlessly till you have no resources. They dominate the servers as bullies. Harassing you with attacks and generally making the game frustrating. All this time presenting you with $100 USD options that are just drops in the bucket. Its one thing to run into heavy paying players who are jerks. Its another to find you are being pounded on like a call girl by the developers. In the hopes that those they dont chase off will spend thousands of dollars to fruitlessly keep up.
