BEGINNER REVIEW(Long review incoming)

I have played quite a bit of MMO's out there and I won't say something like "Oh this takes the cake" or "Best game I have ever played" or even "This game sucks so bad." Instead, this will be my initial thoughts for my first 2 hours of playing. I won't lie, I love the classed and races. Cosmetically. I don't see any class or race to be more OP than another class or race. If you would rather be a distance fighter, go for it. You like to be up close dishing out damage, have at it. Classes have been reworked and they seem to be all pretty balanced. The game first was released in sometime in 2011 so they have had quite a bit of time to rework a few things let alone more additions to the game. Originally it was also owned by gPotato and is now owned by My.com and made it an international game. Enough with the boring stuff. My first class, was an Inventor, which is the Arisen race I believe. Also known as an Engineer classes. With this class I am ranged equipped with a gun. Send out bots to help aim you in battle. Looking through the skill tree I seen this class can be DPS or Healer. I'll admit, I'm having a bit of fun with this class and has it's advantages. My health is on the low side of the spectrum but having the ability to move and cast a skill at the same time makes it better for me to keep my distance from enemies.

Quests, quests, quests. That seems to be all I'm doing at the moment. Tons of sides and of course your main quests. In the beginning I see that there are quite a variety of enemies and you encounter all of them through quests. Whether you need the items they drop or just the kills. My suggestion, if you want to level faster as well as do your main quest line, accept all quests you see. You never know if your main quest will cross over with those side quests giving a bit more experience and money, with just a little extra time spent completing the objectives for the side quests. The quests, so far, are pretty easy. Now the quests for your crafting on the otherhand, not so much. Make sure you have the money to even start the first quest because you will need to buy the items to complete the quests from the quest giver. I noticed I need to complete a few sides just to get the money. That or sell old equipment but I even did that and didn't seem to be enough for even one item.

As of this date, November 5th, 2016, I had received a few complementary items in the Boutique tab in my inventory and it really helped to get started. I don't know if they are just doing this for the time being because of their New Order update, but if not, it is definitely a great way to get players to stay. You get a few items to help you level, as well as points in representing a faction. You get a couple of item chests that contain other beginner items, such as armor, to help you get started. So the game does give you a quick head start to enjoy the game. It may take a bit to get farther into the game if you are new but more experienced players know ways to get to the top fast.

All in all I would recommend this game to any MMORPG gamer. It can be pretty fun as well as a relaxing game. I have not got the full experience of this game yet but when I do I will release another review as well as my progress. I do enjoy the game features it has to show and feel that with more and more time spent, it can be a pretty good game. Give it a try, put your first 2 hours into and see what you think, I hope this review helps your decision and thanks for the read.
