About the best MMO I've played, and I've played nearly all of them. For me, having the free-form character building, the dynamic events, great graphics...this game hits all the marks. It's timing for when it came out didn't work out, but it was better than the competition then and it is now.

I enjoyed this on release. It's said that Trion Worlds ended up having to give this up but after revisiting I had fun with the free content

its a good game in a sad state. i played it at launch and it was one of the best gaming experiences of my life. if you have some spare time i would give it a shot just to play around with the class system for a bit. you can mix and match 3 different souls to unlock all sorts of different combo's.

For people who are looking for and old school mmorpg like World of warcraft that isn't World of warcraft, this is the right game. I refuse to believe that this game is dying. Curious to see if this is true? Then come join and play with the last survivors of Telara!

Can't believe we picked this game back up. Wife and I bought the game at RELEASE, played to level 25 or so, and got bored. A few years later, tried again, same. Now, 13 years after release, we randomly re-installed it. The population is absolutely dead, at least in the 'vanilla' original content. But we're playing it like a 2-player game, and it's a very chill, nostalgia ride though a more 'classic' MMORPG experience of leveling, exploring zones, and doing quests. The story exists, its OK. Honestly the graphics & art hold up fairly well too. We're just about done with 'vanilla' and headed to the first expansion, and we're 80 hours in. For a "Rift and chill" after the kids go to bed, it's been working well and I think we plan to keep going! edit 1: 85 hours in and we finally moved to the first "expansion" of new continents. Not bad for a single/two-player game just enjoying questlines and such.
