The value story
The value story
Against its own genre its score lands in the top 7 percent. It is better reviewed than 92 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, RIFT (free, scores 37) and The Lord of the Rings Online™ (free, scores 52), are both worse buys on this math.
It is still busy. 3.3K players were online when we last checked, on Nov 6, 22:45 UTC, across 35 days of weekly checks. Free to start. PCGamingWiki lists loot boxes in it, the aggressive kind of in-app purchase.
