Grinding in the game is a mixed experience, with many players frustrated by constant bot farming, overcrowded grinding spots, and slow leveling that feels like a time sink. However, some appreciate the classic, grind-heavy MMO style despite its challenges. Overall, grinding can feel tedious and unbalanced, especially for new players competing against automated accounts.
- “Auto hunt is really annoying, every secondary account of high-level players with good equipment acts as a bot farming every map. As a new player, there's no way to compete with that.”
- “Level 30 and up is a pain. The quest experience should be increased to help players level up, otherwise there's nothing to do other than grinding. Unfortunately, spots are full of KP players.”
- “This basically just wastes time playing the game. Legit players grind for hours while some use KP (auto-leveling with third-party apps), and the developers allow this.”

The story features traditional quests, epic boss battles, and challenging dungeons, but its linear design and lack of beginner-friendly quests make progression difficult, especially around level 30 where grinding becomes necessary due to limited quest experience rewards and crowded areas.
- “Players can engage in traditional quest lines, epic boss hunts, and challenging dungeons.”
- “Quests are not beginner friendly.”
- “Level 30 and up is a pain; the quest experience should be enough to level up players. Other than that, there is nothing to do except grinding, but unfortunately spots are full of kill-stealing players.”
- “There is a linear quest line.”

The graphics are generally viewed as outdated and reminiscent of early 90s MMORPGs, evoking nostalgia for many players. However, some users have experienced technical issues related to graphic settings and GPU configurations. Overall, the visual style appeals primarily to those who appreciate a retro aesthetic.
- “Fixed an issue where some laptops with hybrid GPUs defaulted to integrated graphics instead of the dedicated GPU.”
- “Restarted game because changed graphic settings and game said you had to do this for that to take effect; was unable to log back into game.”
- “Graphics from 1990 or thereabouts.”
- “While the graphics might be considered old-school by today's standards, many players appreciate the nostalgic feel and the strong community interaction that was a hallmark of earlier MMORPGs.”

The monetization system is criticized for having overpriced in-game purchases, and despite official claims that real-money trading (RMT) is not supported, advertisements for RMT are openly visible in the chat, indicating a lack of effective enforcement by the game management.
- “Charging way overpriced in-game purchases.”
- “Public RMT advertisements are visible in chat, and the GM has stated that RMT is 'not supported' but players are free to do it at their own risk.”
