Additionally, the presence of high-level players in quest areas further complicates the experience for newcomers.
- “The story unfolds through a linear quest line that guides players through the narrative.”
- “The quests are engaging and provide a rich backdrop to the gameplay experience.”
- “The narrative is immersive, drawing players into the world and its characters.”
- “The quests are not beginner-friendly.”
- “Level 30 and up is a pain; the quest experience points need to be increased for leveling up players. Other than that, there is nothing more to do than just grinding, and unfortunately, the spots are full of high-level players.”

- “Graphics from 1990 or thereabouts.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, particularly after level 30, where quest experience points are insufficient and competition from players using auto-leveling tools makes it feel like a waste of time. However, some appreciate the old-school grind and questing elements, indicating a mixed reception to this gameplay feature.
- “Level 30 and up is a pain; the quest experience points need to be increased to help players level up. Other than that, there's nothing more to do than just grinding, and unfortunately, the spots are full of players using KP.”
- “This game basically just wastes your time. Legit players grind for hours while others use KP (which is auto-leveling with third-party apps), and the developers allow this.”
- “The grinding in this game is excessive and feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.”
