The story aspect of the game is characterized by a mix of engaging quest lines and frustrating design choices, such as tedious and repetitive tasks that often require extensive grinding and waiting periods. While the questing system offers a variety of main, side, and title quests that can enhance character progression, new players may find the lack of tutorials and guidance overwhelming, leading to confusion. Overall, the game provides a nostalgic experience reminiscent of older MMOs, but its outdated mechanics and convoluted quest structure may deter some players.
- “If you're looking for a game that can reward you with endless hours of enjoyment and real character progression for your time commitment, Red Stone does that while building your own story among its community.”
- “Back before all this, we used to go from kobolds, do some quests there, then hope to get a spot in a party to grind on golems, entants (tree men) if you were less fortunate, then hope for another party at vampires (Holy Augusta) and have a blast trying not to die. Everything else after that is a blur to me till elves (donut, had really great times here), then mercs and eventually some desert with spiders which I had only dreamed to become strong enough to kill, also messing around with quests and hoarding every title.”
- “As a new player, I think Red Stone Online is a great game - with so many different classes, many places to fight, levels to gain, and quests to do. I don't think that I will get bored with it anytime soon.”
- “The main quest is long and tedious.”
- “From a lack of introduction, lack of new player help, lack of tutorial, and utter nonexistence of online guides to a nebulous plot and nonexistent quest help or quest direction, this game lacks any actual mechanics in my opinion.”
- “Lame quests that require you to go from point A to B, go back to A, and then ask you to go back to B to kill or get a quest item again.”

The graphics of the game are widely regarded as outdated and mediocre, reflecting its 2003 release date. Many players find the visuals lackluster compared to modern titles, with limited graphical options and noticeable animation lag, which detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the nostalgic charm of its 2.5D art style, the general consensus is that the graphics may deter new players seeking more visually appealing games.
- “Graphics are 2.5D, has that old school MMORPG feeling.”
- “After I do the tutorial, it's pretty decent for an old-time game; the movement and graphics are kinda rusty, but that's where the nostalgic feel comes from.”
- “It's true that the graphics are not that attractive compared to other 3D games that we could easily play these days.”
- “Visually, this has some fairly mediocre and 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 players despite having no up-front cost.”
- “I know that the gameplay isn't friendly and has problems; the graphics are outdated compared to current games. At the start of the game, it seems that there isn't a story. Maybe some years ago, it would have been a very popular game where you could spend your time with friends, but now, there are a lot of more attractive games than this.”
- “No real effort was put into the graphics, and the end result is bad.”
grinding

The game is heavily grind-focused, reminiscent of early 2000s Korean MMOs, with players spending significant time in repetitive grinding activities, both solo and in parties. While some enjoy the grind for its PvP elements, many find it tedious and time-consuming, often requiring a subscription for a smoother experience. Recent updates have introduced buffs to ease the grind, but the overall leveling process remains inefficient and convoluted, leading to frustration among players.
- “This game is grindy, pay to win, clunky, buggy, and reeks of 2000's Korean MMO game design.”
- “There are several daily/weekly/freely available PvE modes, but you will spend a majority of your game time grinding maps solo.”
- “Questing is not the most efficient way to level... in fact, it's not recommended (grinding is really the only way to level).”
