Gameplay

63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Long-term progression – AAs, epics, keys, achievements, tradeskills, weird old quests... there is always something to chase if you still have the energy.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphically, not the top of the line, but gameplay and story it's second to none.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's grindy to get anywhere, and not AS quest driven as modern MMOs, but it absolutely has a laid back feel and ability to play with as many friends as you want at a time (raids can be done over 100 players).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For a game so basic looking, it really has some depth to the combat system.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Players can choose from a wide array of classes and races, each with distinct abilities and playstyles.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of the original and best online multiplayer games with decades of content and a rich history, well worth a try for anyone interested in an online multiplayer game.
