I played this in its early years and my impression of the game was a grindier, poor man's version of Monster Hunter. Still, I got some enjoyment out of it.For a free MMO, the production values are pretty good and somehow it runs pretty well (at least for me it did). The combat feels solid and fast paced without the boring, prodding mechanics that often plague other MMO's while also having legitimately cool boss fights. Supposedly the game has gotten worse recently, but for a time I enjoyed it.
