I wanna read people's opinion about runes of magic because I'm planning to download this game. I think it would be wise to know the pros and cons of this game from other people's opinion; especially from people who actually played this game.

If you like it or not, please post why. Thanks

Obviously the biggest pro is that it's free to download and free to play.  So you have nothing to lose by trying it out to make up your own mind.  There's good and bad with any game, so people's opinions will vary from one extreme to the other on different points.  You're really not going to know whether it's something you'll like until you actual play it.

Some people love the graphics, some people hate them.

Some people love the cash shop, some people hate it.

Some people love Frogster, some hate them.

So yeah, I'd take the feedback you get with a grain of salt.

MMO games would be pretty cool if it weren't for the people.

 It's the only F2P game I've ever been able to stomach.

It's a blatant WoW ripoff.  Anyone who denies as much is...well...in denial.  But it's free.  If you want to use the cash shop (for example, to get a permanent mount) it's there.  But not required.  All you get from the cash shop are items that (essentialy) can help you level faster.  Its not like you can go in to the cash shop and buy a set of raid gear, or and Uber Sword of Death.

Quests are pretty simplistic.  Mostly gather/kill quests.  I don't see any underlying lore/story yet.  You're just tossed in to what seems to be a random land.

I like the dual class system with some shared abilities, or the ability to switch between classes at will.

Graphics = WoW, but the animations aren't as good, but they aren't too bad either.

Crafting looks INSANE.  In other words...insane to level, especially if you pick up all the crafting skills, which you can in this game.

It's easy to play, easy to pick up.  Though I haven't fully figured out the rune system...but I haven't looked at it too hard yet.

It's a mild diversion for me.  But it will never be my main mmo.  It's just not deep enough.
