I've been playing it, but lemme warn you. This game isn't friendly to new players since the market is entirely player-controlled and there's been much inflation as of late. There's an auction house where people will sell items generally cheaper than any vendors do (save some items that people will try to rip you off for, best to look into vendors for cheap equipment and recipes in general) and then there's trading crystal energy. Crystal energy, or CE, has its own market/trading system and lately the price has been skyrocketing.
If you don't wanna worry about purchasing CE, that's fine, too, since you can just use your mist tank's energy for the day, but you do need CE for crafting high star items since the max energy in the mist tank is only 100.
But, about the game itself. It's fun, and I rather enjoy the gameplay. The only real problem I have with it is the energy trading system (which I had gotten used to, but now the prices are much higher now than they were when I started) which is just plain ridiculous. The only alternative is purchasing CE with real money, but I don't wanna have to spend my money on a "free" game. Yes, it's supporting the developers, but the CE trade's sudden inflation is just plain silly and probably won't get fixed nor balanced from what I can see, 'cause I'm sure the devs are profiting from all this since the only way you can get CE in the first place is through buying it.
