I really like Horizons. I really did. But the game is not the same as it was in 2005 when I first played. Even after all the ownership swaps it still can't keep me.
My guild (Disciples) has vanished completely and I really feel alone. Also, the game engine is getting tired. The keyboard doesn't respond well, monsters appears on screen a minute after I arrive in the area, which causes me to get killed by invisble creatures. My DSL connection is 6MB so it can't be that.
I can't wait for Vitrium to get the money to fix this game. I hope that they do get enough money to bring the game into the realm of NextGen and be able to compete with the others. But while the crafting system is by far the most superior in any online game, that doesn't sell it.
Istaria is boring, and that hurts me to say it, because I really liked Horizons. But the empty world void of people gets to me. The game isn't fun with people. And it's mostly dragons... yeah I know no big deal.
I'll keep playing, and taking screencaps until my kast day this Saturday, but I'll only come back until I see that Virtrium has made real change to the game, the game engine, the world, stories, everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Because I really want to come back. But what exist now doesn't justify the 14.95$ In short, in feels like I'm playing a game that's still in BETA (phase 2) .
Goodbye Istaria.
