Read the "ONGOING" writeup first and take it as a warning! Istaria is... old, and maybe a touch on the janky side. I'm having an absolute blast reconnecting with some serious memories here, but if you haven't played Horizons and don't have those memories or the nostalgia boost, it's possible your impression might be a bit more negative.

But like, if you read that and were like "aww yeah I am all about the 2003 MMO aesthetic and this looks fun?" It is. I enjoy it and I would very much love to play with you. :) I mean, if this were a bad game then I'd have taken advantage of their free promo period to get some screenshots and scratch an old itch before leaving again, but instead I caved and subscribed and am giving them money so I can keep playing because it's good.

I just... maybe feel like people used to more modern MMOs might need to make sure they know what they're getting themselves into here. XP
