Review:

It is very hard to create a proper review of this game, as your experience may be completely different from mine. It really depends of the server you'll settle in.

I have been :

• co-leader of a small village, part time soldier for the king
• second in command of an entire kingdom after my friend seized the throne by cunning and diplomacy
  And done :
• building, farming, crafting, terraforming, hunting...
• fighting PVP as archer in both field battles and sieges, and also militiaman against raiders
• organizing a guild, recruiting new members
• A lot of Roleplay involving weddings, meetings, diplomacy, wars and back-stabbing.

PROS

• A very nice medieval atmosphere. Realistic, yet fun.
• You'll meet awesome people
• Recommended for Roleplayers and adepts of politics/diplomacy : if you choose the right server it could be an amazing experience. It definitely felt like a Game of Thrones !
• Building your city is more than just it looks (posing blocks), you need some creativity to make it beautiful.
• Addictive.
• Gameplay combat is better than most survival games...

CONS

• ... but combat is mediocre compared to mount & blade.
• PVE aspect is non existent.
• PVP is sometimes unbalanced (poisons, some weapons...)
• Performances sometimes suck, and especially during massive battles.
• Devs focus on MMO and do not fix bugs of LFYO as fast as they should.
• Requires a lot of farming. bring your friends ! Definitely not a solo player game or someone with short gameplay time.
• Servers lifespan are on average one to three months : don't expect to have anykind of "persistant" cities, and be prepared to start over again a lot.

Conclusion : if you find a good server with a nice admin, then this game is amazing. If you don't, it sucks.

FOR :

• fans of middle-ages
• fans of RP and backstabbing diplomacy
• fans of... farming stuff and building stuff.
• fans of medieval warfare that do not mind some bad performance.

NOT FOR THOSE LOOKING :

• for a survival game. It is not.
• for a quick experience or a solo game : you need to spend a lot of time on the game
• for PVE : there is no real danger from beasts after a while and fighting them is not interesting. The true aspect of the game revolves in Building/PVP/RP

Have a nice day!
