The story in Royal Quest is noted for its depth and lore, with quests that offer more than just basic tasks, providing players with engaging narratives and character interactions. However, many players express frustration over the limited variety of quests, particularly after reaching higher levels, and the game's perceived pay-to-win mechanics detract from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the potential for future content and improvements, the current state of the game leaves much to be desired in terms of quest diversity and player support.
- “First, it has a lot of lore and story to it.”
- “It's not just quests like 'kill 10 rats because I stubbed my toe and need toe medicine' - the quests have more detail and story to them than that.”
- “You also find a lot of NPCs that aren't part of the quest line but that actually have story bits to add if you talk to them.”
- “So all in all how Royal Quest works is this: it lies to you in the beginning, and then once you've invested too much time and money into it to leave, it forces you to join a top guild to succeed.”
- “Conclusion: awesome game, but for the record, there isn't a huge amount of quests for people to do... it's basically the same quests for every character no matter who it is.”
- “They don't take the time to read and go through all the extra text and things in those videos; however, if you're a person who really likes story and lore in your games, you won't really see how cool it is until you're able to get in there yourself.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a core element of the MMORPG experience, emphasizing that it can be both rewarding and time-consuming. While some appreciate the fun and sense of achievement from farming and leveling up, others note that significant time investment or spending money is often necessary to remain competitive, especially in PvP. Overall, grinding is seen as an integral part of the gameplay, with many acknowledging its presence as a defining feature of the genre.
- “Cap without paying a single penny, if you plan to stick around and get serious about PvP you're going to be shelling out a good deal of money, or spending many, many hours end game grinding for the gold you need.”
- “Be prepared to do massive amounts of grinding daily quests as the normal quests gotten after level 30 will not even take you anywhere near leveling.”
- “I had the best gear I could get, I spent hours grinding levels and weapons and I even bought the welcome pack.”
