This game changed a lot since the review. After a community discussion, turnbased combat was turned into realtime. The tutorial has been revamped and a couple 3D Arenas have been added with a mini puzzle challenge (lockpicking) available. Crafting is really flexible here and the players are quite friendly to newbs. Some optional pay-to-obtain content has been introduced, but nothing pay-to-win. Largely things like extra bank slots or items you could buy with ingame gold. All in all, definitely worth a try.

There's nothing more gratifying than playing an MMO for free.
