    Yo. This game dropped today on steam. For those who have played it, is it fun/worth playing and how p2w is it, in the sense that I will get absolutely ass blasted if I play this game F2P.
    If I do play it, I'm only gonna play like maybe 1 hr a week. How left behind would I be from the rest of the server?

    Man, I would try MMOs if I didn't have school.

    Elden Ring was great when I got to try its beta.

    As far as I'm aware (very little) it's just another Amazon Title they are going to drop once things turn bad like all the others. So I'd say dig into it and give it a few months and see how it's doing before picking it up. Just too many pitfalls from them for me to trust.


    I have friends who play New World for example and the west cost is being merged down to 8 servers. That is 16k players because they limit server pop to 2k each. They blame this or that and change systems that should have been changed during a beta or even alpha... It's bad management, bad design.

    Which does give it some hope. But Amazon games is one of the publishers. So I'm afraid for any say they get in it.

    Too bad they have stumbled right out of the gate. Deployment issues on launch day!

    Not uncommon a situation for those companies that underestimated their reception. Won't read too much into it unless more "accidents" occur. For a boo-boo, this one isn't that rare.

    problems on launch/patchdays are almost a common occurence

    and i heard that this western version should be far less p2w than the russian or asian one
