The game's story is hindered by a lack of English translations for quest descriptions, making it difficult for players to engage fully with the content.

Overall, the narrative potential is overshadowed by localization issues and outdated online mechanics.

Additionally, the lack of visual or gameplay improvements since 2008, and perceived downgrades, adds to the comedic critique of the game's development.
- “Some abilities for the marksman class, for instance, scale off of wisdom, which is hilarious... why would you select wisdom on a ranged marksman class?”
- “I remember what this game looked like in 2008, and the fact that the game not only didn't see any improvement since then, but in fact has been downgraded since 2008 is just hilarious.”
