Despair!!!

Yup this game is actually quite fun go give it a whirl if you havent tryed it.

I'd rather hate you for everything you are
Than ever love you for something you are not
I'd rather you hate me for everything I am
Than have you love me for something that I can't.

I began to feel the repetitive factor around lv 20, so no.

Waiting for: Aion, DF

This must be the first F2P game I lasted longer than 5 minutes in (with the exception of Rohan which has been ruined, and will never get a second chance from me). There is hardly any grind, personally I say its so much easier after Lv.30. I have classes 4 times a week and work once a week, and I still managed to reach Lv.62 by the end of CB2. The game is very enjoyable and fun, if not to say by far the best F2P game I have played. Hands down.

One thing they should change is the fact that a level 35+5 weapon is stronger than a 50+3. That doesn't seem right at all.

just wait untill your level 50+, this game is a grinder, do not be fooled.  i believe the cap is 120 on the korean version, not sure how a free korean game can make getting to 120 difficult without making you grind forever.  yeah and theres that stamina thing, which im sure everyone will love once they get to a decently high level, not so bad below 40 though.

This game is not as easy as any F2P games out there. It also requires you to grind when you reach level 50 so you to work really hard

Pain is temporary. Glory is forever.

Quite frankly, the pics at the site don't do justice to how fun this game is. And quite strategic at that.

This game is typical of all asian grinders..

Extremely fast, almost superhuman levelling early on. No pots needed, no real gear.

Then after a month or so, you hit a wall (depending on your playtime) that cant be climbed without the help of the almighty Cash Shop. If you dont want to pay, youll eek out every bit of experience after a certain level. Youll have to buy health pots, mana pots, experience charms or tokens or something like that just to keep moving. If you dont, youll go at a snails pace.

Perfectworld was just like that. Fun to play early but at level 40.. screeeech! Brakes hard. If you dont spend real money, youll be grinding all day. Sometimes even after that, youll grind. The objective is to keep you spending real money so they do it one of two ways:

1. Raise the top level to some insanely obscene number.. like level 110 cap. You wont reach this.. ever. But most players aspire to reach a cap so...

2. Cash shop. Make you spend money to buy exp items to reach that goal. Youll move faster but not by much.

If the F2P game gets you to cap, you wont play anymore and they know this. So, keep holding the promise of "youre almost to cap! good job.. keep going" out like a carrot on a stick. Cause there is no endgame.

Of course, not everyone plays games to "cap"; very true. But the point is when you hit that wall, you wont be able to climb it.
