Yea I've tried real life off and on myself. 

Its got pretty amazing graphics. 

But the quests suck.  I never got my characters melee skills very high, so PVP sucks.  Plus if you even try it blue suited "guards" chase you, and will either give you a temporary ban, or if you've really over done it a perma ban.  This happens often.

The economy is absolute trash.  What a joke.  

The mods are all bat **** insane.  

Permadeath is definitely a factor.  Haven't had this happen to me yet.  Some people say when it happens you have to start completely over from the beginning.  Others are saying you get the free expansion.  Others say that's it, and you can never play again.  When this finally happens to me, I'll come back and post about it. 

But mmos are better.  Just sayin.

There were many BGs in the past, but nowadays the server is very idle.

I hit spacebar and nothing happened! Other people could jump. Just cuz my race is Chalky means I can't jump? What a jip. I'm sueing.

PS The F2P version is a P2W cash shop scam.

The PVP system is as follows:

- Permadeath.

- 100% open world.

- Full Loot

- Very harsh consequences to pk (has some variations between zones).

- Is gear-dependent, but the gear isn't so hard to acquire and the difference between the players is small or none.

- There are few and weak buffs.

- The HP recovery is very slow. There is not instant heal.

- Is very meaningful.

The PVE system:

- Painfully grindish.

- Is obrigatory PVE to avoid status damage or even permadeath.

- You cant craft anything.

- The economy is very strong, dinamic, complex and 100% player driven.

-  To group is more obrigatory than optional.

-  Politics, diplomacy and social behavior/skills are of extreme importance for the character progression.

Tell me about it.  It starts out as free2play but you end up having to get a subscription.  Mounts and player housing is way too expensive but the game practially forces you to get them.  If you don't do your daily quests you can't pay for anything and then the GMs tax the crap out you.

In my opinion, the game is doomed to fail.

But we are doomed to play it anyway.

So it's a losing game then.

well thats reality though, it shows if your skilled or not

and its free, you dont need to pay to feel better for your skilled successes

because you cant feel good from it like from fake video games(that you pay to say how awesome you are when you win a line of predetermined commands. That was intentionally planned by a developer that wants money) doesnt mean its bad for everyone

aka

because you cant succed there and need to pay games to feel successful doesnt mean everyone hates it and isnt capable of success

only bad thing is that it lacks immortality for the few :p

The longer you  play the weaker you get...should be the opposite.  Permadeath sucks.  Too many diseases, too much downtime.  Why do some players get more skill points and bonuses when they start their character...totally unfair.

I'm gender locked.  Not enough customization options. Body slider?

They made so you have to eat and drink or you can die in a permadeath setting, and you have to check their quality because some can cause you a lot of unwanted illnesses short term and long term, and then you're stuck having to buy pills, which sucks if you don't have enough gold.

They also allow smoking and drinking alcohol, though unlike the other MMOs, you can really taste their feels, and smoking smells, they should change it to a strawberry smell.
