So, I played this game years ago when it first came out (it was subscription based) and absolutely LOVED it. Played it for over a year before it became unplayable. They merged a LOT of servers together into 4 big ones, and the opposing sides were WAY out of balance. You had either WAY too many of one race, or way too many of the other. And if you were on a server and were in the minority, you literally COULD NOT play the game because the opposing faction would always gank you and make it where you couldn't even do your normal quests without them constantly killing you.

So, I quit playing. Apparently, this issue was rectified (who knows how much later) and the game is now more balanced, with almost a 50/50 ratio! Yay!

And... it's FREE! Well, turns out it became 100% free back in February 2012... if I had known that, I would have picked it back up years ago. It's so addicting!

Anyway, if anyone is interested in playing, I'm on the Israphel server, Elyos side!
