“Like Runescape, but I can actually live my real life while playing it. Doing absolutely nothing has never felt this productive. Perfect second-monitor game to scratch that MMORPG itch without the intense grinding. 10/10 would milk cows AFK again.”

“Decent game but why do i have to grind the game for 10h to unlock chatting with other players? I simply wanted to ask people and learn that way like in any other online game, this made it too frustrating for me since i hate reading long guides”
