minus-squareHeyJoe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoThanks! What makes it so bad? Doesn’t run well? I would absolutely like to try it if it means no monthly payment, and it’s basically the same game. I just wanted to see it and mess around for a few hours.
minus-squareetchinghillside@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·24 hours agoIt runs pretty well and everything and I think will scratch the itch. It’s just a very jarring throwback to the times. The game was more built around being ran with a controller, so mouse and keyboard is a little janky - I pretty much solely use a keyboard. Map/travel is very old school. Alt tabbing for maps/routes, boats, etc. Making a player level to 20, and then immediately starting over to level again for a sub job is an incredibly sadistic thing to ask from an MMO. I could go on. But it regularly sees 2k+ players online so there must be some subset of people that enjoy it.
