Sometimes you get more than you paid for....

Pros: 1)A very, very large game world.

2)A good, balanced experience system.

3)A large variety of monsters in the game.

4)Plentiful NPCs with different quests or shops.

5)The ability to host your own shops with flate-rate prices (so no one is going to try to haggle with you.)

6)Numerous quick slots.

7)Some basic character customization in the begining.

8)A remarkable pet system with the ability to have multiple pets (depending on some levels and skils). You can ride them, fight them, and even a good bit more. I'm not sure if there are flight paths yet, but I know that there are flying pets.

Cons: 1) The controls are not really stream-lined. Its just not practical to guide your character around via mouse clicks and not be able to use your mini-map for the same purpose. Even Runescape (the most obnoxious of the mouse-walk games) would let you use the mini map.

2) The horrible lack of a written guide to reference to about your questions. I'm still trying to figure out a few things as far as guilds and parties go, and of course the websites are not helpful.

3) Lacks the people-working-together feel of WoW; most people won't acknowledge you unless they feel you're messing around.

4) The game has a few little programming 'flaws' if you will. For instance; you can stand underwater forever in some locations, you can walk into certain boulders, fire doesn't burn your character, ect. But despite some lazy programming, the game works fine.

5) The client here is HUGE!!! If you're not running something like T1, you may want to get a download enhancer, otherwise your download will time out around the four hour mark. I reccomend the Go!Zilla free trial works great, contains no spam.
