The graphics are generally seen as outdated and mediocre, which detracts from the overall appeal of the game despite its strong armor and skill designs. This visual shortcoming is a significant factor in its failure to attract a larger player base. Additionally, limited graphics options and poor implementation further frustrate users.
- “If you don't care about graphics and you care about quality, this is your game.”
- “Visually, this has some fairly mediocre/dated looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost.”
- “If the graphics were better, this would hands-down be the best MMORPG just because of their armor and skills.”
- “Can't open the game, can't play in fullscreen, and graphics can't be changed.”

The story aspect is minimal to nonexistent, with the game focusing more on grinding and player competition rather than a narrative or quest-driven experience. Players seeking a strong plot may find it lacking, as the gameplay centers around repetitive objectives rather than storytelling.
- “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc. to the game.”
- “With no plot besides 'kill x amount of y,' it really isn't a game that's any better than a WoW clone grindfest.”
- “This is a grinding game - not a quest game.”

Grinding is a core aspect of the game, with gameplay heavily focused on repetitive quests rather than varied single-player content. The grind level is comparable to games like RuneScape, which may not appeal to all players.
- “There's little to no single player content apart from grinding repetitive quests, and with the strong PvP focus and lack of players, this results in a toxic, dead pay-to-win experience.”
- “This is primarily a grinding game, not a quest-driven game.”
- “The grinding required is similar in amount to what you'd find in RuneScape.”
