As much as I want to like the game, I can't get into it. I've jumped in multiple times over the past year and a half, hoping patches would help, but everything just feels slow. From a 'new player experience' perspective, the GCD is fine, but the CD for basic attacks and early abilities is brutal and boring. Travel speed feels like walking through mud, and basic gathering time is needlessly too long. Factor that all into the low fantasy setting not being all too popular, and I'm not sure how long this game will survive. Especially considering Steam was their big push. Obviously, it sucks what happened with their payment processor, but sympathy alone isn't going to make me enjoy something long-term.
