I'm going to backtrack to past games that I have played and try to review them when I can. Most of them will be F2P games. If you have any disagreements or want to voice your opinion about me then go for it. Heck flame me if you want, I don't really care since its my opinion and if you have disagreements thats your opinion. I'm all for it but just don't send me any threats or anything or I'll post them for the world to see.

I will do my best to remain neutral, but if there are certain features or bad handling that I cannot ignore, I will mention it in my reviews.

Story:
Unlike most MMOs, there is actually a story. More or less 3 sisters have summoned you to their world in an attempt to save it or something like that. The main story quest goes nowhere fast and just has you talking to NPCs to complete a long chain of quests that goes through nearly every dungeon in the game. I've done the quests up to the mid 80s, and it goes nowhere still. Its just "we need your help to kill ____ or stop ____ and ____ then talk to _____". Each quest chain is fairly long but it sometimes has you revisiting past NPCs on the other side of the world.

Graphics:
The graphics of the game are pretty good. There are some issues with slow down when in large 3 groups vs 3 groups battles since there is up to 54 things on the screen moving at once. The details and spell effects are nicely done and there is quite a large variety of enemies a
