If you have the will and patiance, then yeah it's ok but I don't belive it's worth some real money.
I don't advise spending real cash on it since ther mechanics for Item Mall items is set like a real sink whole.
If you have a few friends who like the play style of Atlantica, then by all means join up and start playing, more ppl whit you more fun. Keep in mind it's still has a few updates to go, so who knows maybe it improves and gets a lot more fun parts in it.
After thet maybe it can join the big league but I woulden't bet on it.
Well to rap it up, I think it deserves at least 7.5 score since it's a fair enuf game, it does have a nice Nation's/Guild's system so some bonus points for thet. On other hand it lacks GM involvement in-game, just having some pvp fight's is not enuf for my taste.
Well I hope I diden't offend anybody and I do hope people can give it a go at least 1 time so everybody can judge by it self.
EDIT: After 6 months+ playing this game I can fairly sey, it looks more and more pay 2 play BUT whit a lot of less fun and content. My score for this game is 4, since game it self is OK but it's going downhill enjoy.
Thets all :)
