I have been a fan of this game for exactly 8 years as of today.
Started out this game on the first day of launch, but it wasn't really a game back then. Then, I picked this back up on its 3rd anniversary, which was probably the golden age of this game.
It got lot of QoL updates with lot of fun contents throughout the year until 9th anniversary, even though there were some very bad decisions from devs along the way. But then they f*cked up everything at 10th anniversary, and came back with very disappointing 11th anniversary.
Game could have been great if they just kept doing what they were great at, instead of trying to become like other games where they are just after your wallet with endless release of packages, tickets and meta defining characters.
I don't think many people will be interested in starting a 11 year old game with dot art turn based RPG nowadays, but if you are getting interested, just don't. Leave while you can.
5 star is just for the memories and friends it gave me for 8 years.
