Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
-New classes always eclipse previous ones and are overpowered in one way or another in order to promote new characters and purchases of costumes and other things for these new characters (A trend common in F2P titles).

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
While it's combat is great and it sure did have a lot of potential as a game and is even actually enjoyable when things are fresh, it's not something I'd recommend playing in the long run if you're looking for something to invest a decent amount of time into.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The added classes are honestly incredible and really diversifies gameplay.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I am begging, and I mean BEGGING for Dragon Nest to be shut down in favor of a Dragon Nest 2 with updated graphics, balances, a sensible level cap between 40-93, and less pay-to-win schemes.
