To be honest, the one thing that surprises me is that they were willing to completely shut down character creation for the entire game for a month. That was the one thing that made me think the merge would never happen.
But here we are.
I'm neutral about the merge itself. What worries me is closing the game to all new players for a month. While I don't think the game is "dying", I feel like that's kind of dangerous to a "small" game like this.
Then again, it seems to be more active than a lot of other games I used to play. I suppose we will see.
(Also, Ouch....my main's name (Polychrome) was taken by a pet of all things.)
Well, all joking aside, Mabi's power creep has hit enormous levels in the past few years. Forget getting hit, you can out-dps everything else before it hits you.
Julie has literally spent years trying to convince the rest of us that the game is utterly unplayable because it's "unfair", and here we have it more approachable than ever.
There's just so much gear that can help out these days, so many ways to up your base stats, and some skillsets that don't even need "gearing up" all that much. Not that it *hurts* or anything. It's just that you can get some good numbers before you even bother with special upgrades, reforges, etc. (I'm thinking chain in particular, which has always felt OP to me with the least amount of required work.) And after the Blaanid update, there are simply no more excuses.
Don't even get me started on archery... the stuff they're testing out in Korea is huge, IMO.
