The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and structure, with many players expressing frustration over the absence of quests and NPC interactions. While some enjoy the freedom to create their own narratives, the overwhelming sentiment is a desire for a more defined storyline, including quests and character development, to enhance engagement and provide direction. Overall, players feel that the game would greatly benefit from the addition of a quest system and a more cohesive narrative framework.
- “It's a great game but I'd like it more if it had some story elements added to it. For example, the new islands look really fascinating and mysterious, but there are just some bosses and new creatures and not much story in it. You should add some bigger quests.”
- “But if you follow the storyline, you'll be engaged for hours (without a blood-curdling action plot most RPGs have).”
- “This game is good, but it needs more quest lines to do, not just up to level 15 because after that it does get boring.”
- “There is no fixed quests after the initial tutorial.”
- “It's boring right now; it needs a storyline and quests to do.”
- “This game is great, but there is no story or a lead to the end of the game.”

Also, please solve the ping problem; we have good ping in other games, but in Utopia, our ping drops too much, which I don't like.”
- “Glitches occur when I start a new account, but when I connect to my old account, there are no glitches.”
