I don't want to oversell it, it may have a very generous free-to-play
model, but it's still a grindy Korean MMORPG, so you're not going to
get LOTRO but without the paywalls.  But for the price of free, I think
it worth trying out.  Even if all you do is run a character through the
main quest until you get bored of the game I don't think you find it a
complete waste of time.

My problem with it was that it was an MMO where you solo, and then you
can go to a boss fight where six other people are fighting the same boss,
in the same place, you can see all of them, and nobody can interact.

Did I miss the point, or is it still like that?
