Pros:

  • Very deep endgame crafting/building options.
  • Unique feature: Boat construction, customization and combat.
  • Open world PVP is emphasized.
  • Targeted at casual players.


Cons:

  • Relatively high system requirements for certain markets.
  • Basic/standard combat system.
  • Currently tuned for subscription revenue.
  • Excessively quest-based until maximum level.
  • Game systems may encourage trolling/griefing behavior.
