I've seen it in other Asian games and if is always bad, but Bitdefender laughs at it so I've never had a problem

I have nod32. Never had issues. I did sell my early access right before the game came out to the masses.

I recently downloaded the game and played for a bit. I am currently level ten and have to say I kind of like this game. Quests were cool and leveling doesn't seem like a chore so far. I have to ask why all the hate?

Because the goons here have nothing better to do with there lives than to mercilessly poo poo on a game that was over hyped (like all mmo games) and didn't live up to there expectations. Also some whales paid upwards of 200 dollars on the beta of this game and are taking out there frustrations with there poor life decisions on it.

Edit: also goons, like most humans (in including me at times), are completely retarded.

There's no doubt that the game was poorly managed, but the hate for this game is definitely out of proportion/control, and really just kind of weird. If you take the game for what it is, it should give you several months of fun, maybe more, which is more than I can say for 95% of MMOs out there.

bullshit,

Other anti-cheats that do work dont need anywhere close to the permissions hackshield does. Its garbage and its unnecessarily invasive. This is the anti-cheat that forces a crash if you open notepad while running the game.

But doesn't stop you from planting trees on the bottom of the world. GotY!

Yeah, I agree. I'm still playing and having fun. I've spent a total of $25 on it, and don't feel bad about that money at all. It isn't as good as the hype led me to hope, but parts of the game are fun. I'm never ever going to get the cool end game gear, and I'm not sure anyone does without spending crazy amounts of money, but I'm fine with that. I can lol at occasionally getting ganked by people who spent hundreds of dollars to out-gear me.

It is too bad that boneheaded management decisions and korean quirks turned hype into bitterness in record time. It's really not a terrible game.

Hit points and which of any buffs in the game are applied is handled client side. No amount of invasive anticheat can get past that kind of bullshit-retarded failure of security 101 level concepts.

The thing is the Trion version is actually considerably worse than any other version out there. While the original Korean version isn't exactly that great to begin with and hackshield does suck the big one I could probably actually stand playing the Russian or Korean versions but luckily I don't have to since there are plenty of completely free games that are vastly better out there.

The ability to own your own persistent land in the world was one of the fairly uncommon gimmicks heavily advertised for AA. Other versions had a hard limit on how many pieces of property you could have, while Trion allowed each player to grab as much land as they can but tried to discourage land hoarding with a graduated tax rate. So if you didn't get in during the founders early access you could be waiting months to get any land. If you didn't have awesome ping or use a hack program, you might find your only way to get land was to buy it from a land baron.

Their website is the worst game website I've seen in a long time. Slow loads, tons of error pages, their front page is like some clickbait fever dream, I still couldn't find where to enter the beta code after 10 minutes of looking (could enter a real game code though, but the beta codes don't work on that page). Screw it, another dead-in-1-month-MMO isn't worth that hassle.
