quoi?

ADD ME :D

I have no max wizards, but I've been an on and off player since 2011.

Storm - 125 (x2)
Death - 80
Fire - 80
Balance - 90
Ice - 120
Life - 60 (hasn't started Krokotopia)

and a bunch of random wizards between 20-80 across multiple accounts

yes it’s fun but the final bosses can be so annoying especially when farming for badges

I've only spent little over $1000 across multiple accounts over the course of 15 years of on and off playing. As for the current state of the game, since I am only a PvE player, I can only tell you my experiences as one. In short, I believe this game is still awesome.

I think it is great as a PvE player and it seems to always have been. They made the story easier to solo a while ago (still kinda hard for certain classes, especially Balance and Ice). Nowadays, you aren't forced to one element of hits anymore since they are pushing dual-schooling (i.e Storm and Life) so it's pretty fun playing hybrid classes when questing.

There are also a ton of side activities like Beastmoon, PVP, raids, gardening, fishing, and pet training (all are thriving btw).

Pet training is, in my opinion, the best "loop" part of the game. It is where I believe most veterans hover around the most. While there is RNG to building the perfect pet, you can mitigate a lot of the RNG-systems to make it less RNG-based, if that makes sense as an outsider.

However, as for some negatives, as you create new wizards after having a decent amount of experience in the game, you kinda know how to optimize everything. PvE becomes stale because almost every battle outside of gimmick-based or main bosses is easily defeatable with blades and an AoE. You can also funnel gear from your main wizard, normally outgrown premium (Crowns) items to get a huge early game boost without farming on a nooby wizard.

I hear people say the game is P2W. Hell no, at least for PvE. You can, but you're not racing against anyone, it's pointless.
