  Dunno much about it; it's a free-to-play MMORPG (which is
  never a good starting point) with a lot of ad copy focused
  on cooking and crafting, and mixed reviews to boot. Apparently
  the game is very pay-to-win and there's a lot of grind that
  can only be alleviated by buying DLC and MTX. I think
  I'll pass.

Tried it. Crap. *Pretty* crap, but crap. And now those beautiful graphics
are outdated for sure.

In brief: Very typical, unremarkable MMO. They're whale hunting to make
it profitable I'm sure. Giving it away is *more* reason to avoid it.
