    • I played this game when it was first launched it was fun but at the time I liked WoW alot better... so I canceled and whent back to wow then last year I tried istaria again and it was the same as when it launched nothing was rly upgraded had a poor community and CSR team. The game wouldn't allow me to cancel my account so I got billed for a extra 2 months before I had to just contact my bank and have them too stop the game from taking money out.

    • Having fun so far!

    • This is a Crafting game with a little bit of adventuring thrown in. 99% of all patches or added content will do with crafting so dont expect a grand adventure here..

    • I was hoping I'd find a new RP game but this isn't it. i'm too spoiled by the new graphics to get passed the beginning of this game. The graphics are old and clunky. The game is slow to load and the text is very small to read for quests etc. I don't know how the RP is as I never got far enough to find people. So I will not badmouth it other then to say if you are used to the new graphics in most games you'll be really disappointed with this game.

    • It's actually $9.95 a month vs. the $12.95 listed here on MMORPG.com. But, it's a really fun game and has gotten even better by leaps and bounds since Virtrium took over!

    • Well since the new owners took over a lot has happened and all to the plus of the gamers. Test server reinstated and a couple of big updates/fixes pushed out. Performance issues looked at, it has improved for some but others are still having the same problem they always have. Customer service has improved beyond all recognition. Billing system has been totally replaced (with a new pricing structure). Givien it's age the graphics are what you expect but this is a game to be played and enjoyed and not looked at. Just crafting and dragons is a fair criticism to level at this game, but there are encouraging signs that it is moving forward.

    • Right on entering my girlfriend got harassed asking if she "wanted 2 cyber" cause she was a girl toon. After that the game was just clunky and the help didn't help at all. At the last part the billing was horrible. Good roleplay though I guess...

    • was a great game with deep complex crafting, and multiclassed chars. the best in-game music, more adventure and crafting classes than you could shake a stick at, performance / lag issues were not nearly as bad as many have said. EII/PM have killed it off

    • I personally don't like finding a game so insanely difficult to *quit*. And then getting my credit card charged ( one notable time three times in a single month!! ) for six months despite contacting the company *four* times. I am one of the former players that has submitted a complaint to the State of Montana's AG and I would warnany potential player of the horrible situation regarding Horizon's chronic billing problems. I finally had to cancel my credit card to get their charges from showing up on my card......eight months after quiting. Think hard about trying this game unless you're willing to cancel whatever credit card you use.
