This game hasQuestionable decisions by the developers, such as deleting player guilds
I played for a year and something. the content is great, events are fun to do but have to be time for the those and progression is quite okay. How we the popularity of this game is low and need to be paid to win to catch up with others. In addition, a lot of migration between servers are happening which is good and all but it causes more problem as more people to delete instead.
