The game is pretty much dead. I just started playing it a while back from level 75 to 175. You won't encounter anyone in the maps. The only time I saw other players is when I was queuing for dungeons and in town.

Worse, at level 160+ something, there is a demon prison area that is completely infested by bots. A 15 minutes quest took me nearly 2 days to complete due to the mobs being instakilled the moment they spawned on the map. Lots of level 200+ bots camping there for money.

The commander error has gone away but there are some random disconnections sometimes but not often. If you're looking to play a game with other players, don't bother with this one.

On another note, I am not sure if they increased the exp gain. I managed to level up from level 75 to 170 just by farming mobs. I still have around 700+ exp cards in my inventory from level 4 to 8 exp cards that are unused. Weird.

You just highlighted the problem with this game. Getting to level 250 is no cakewalk. Its not something you can get within a week. For a casual player, it will probably take weeks if not months to hit level 250. Saying that it only starts to get fun at level 250 just doesn't justify suffering the boring game and near dead grind for 250 levels.

Also, just because there are bots, it doesn't justify skipping the map entirely and no, bots are not scarce. It is in fact, rampant in every town and almost every map I have visited. Each character I come across in the maps are all bots. I really doubt that they're people who just don't reply to anything. It just so happens the demon prison area has a very high mob density that every damn bot goes there.

It's a fun game, I get that. I gave it a chance by giving it another 100 levels. Those 100 levels were not rewarding at all. It was a boring slog through levels 75 to 175. I really wanted to like this game but at the rate it is going, there are better online games out there to put time in.

I can play it but its terrible laggy. Keep rubber banding every 5 seconds. Ping shows 0.03 to 0.08. servers must be pretty unstable after the update.
