"RotMG is an ego checker" —BB_smooth[remaster.realmofthemadgod.com]
This game might be the most I've had with a dungeon dungeon crawler, and now that the game is under more competent ownership (DECA Games bought the rights to this circa June 2016), the game just keeps getting better. By contrast, the most notable thing Kabam (the previous owners) ever did was add "real money only" packs so utterly overpriced that they prompt community jokes like this[www.realmeye.com]
pros:
  • This game is a rogue-like, including the Permadeath aspect. You have to play smart, or you die, and you will not get resurrected under any circumstance (well, unless you somehow hack one of those old amulets[www.realmeye.com] in, but that's not the kind of resurrection you want!).
  • Although it's a freemium game, it's not really that "pay to win" IMO. the only progression you can DIRECTLY pay for, as far as I'm aware, is growing your pets, and everything else requires at least some amount of skill to do without dying. Most of the game's income is from cosmetics, which I always felt is the best way for games to go. They're easy to add (as long as you've got a good artist on staff), don't affect the gameplay beyond customization, and people love buying them most of the time.
  • Even a lot of the stuff you can buy with money can be obtained with "fame" (derived from your XP after your a character dies) or traded for. The main exception on trading is "Special Themed" (ST) Sets, but again that's at least partly because they provide a new "look" if you collect all of them.
Cons:
  • support is kind of hit or miss. A lot of the times, unless you have a particular important question that requires special attention, you'll get template responses. They've explained that, as you might expect, this is to "make sure they can get everyone", but i can't help but feel they are trying to cut costs on support technicians.
  • If you started playing on the browser, there may not be a way to migrate or merge your account with steam so that you can use all the steam integration stuff like using your wallet to pay and earning steam achievements. This, incidentally, is why I have 2 accounts, not just one... I started working on a steam account

Just wanna say, your review rocks! It's so full of insights and cool stuff. You really nailed it

(basically, the game got a lot better after they stopped having to invest so much in rewriting the game from scratch. It's actually good now! Who would have thought a popular game engine like Unity would be such a good investment? Certainly not me [/s])

almost completely rewrote my review (significantly enough that my previous comment may seem like a non sequitur), and changed my recommendation from "not recommended" to "recommended" (one person found my previous recommendation helpful, but that rating has been cleared by this change)

my opinion has been amended slightly: apparently the game plays okay in Adobe's standalone flash projector, so my other account isn't completely impractical to play. Besides that, unlocking things all over again and getting some steam achievements in the process is not what I would necessarily call "unrewarding".
I'm still salty about my support case and I can't recommend spending money on the game (my basis for whether I recommend a game or not) until they improve support for steam players, but it's still a fun game.

TL;DR fun game, terrible support. Consider waiting for the Remastered (Unity-based) version
