The mechanics are okay, honestly the only reason to join the playerbase is the population. Otherwise, the admins and favored players bot all day and talk about it on the ooc channel.. My character was deleted for focus ki/meditate 'botting' though I was at my computer, without talking to me, having a discussion, issuing a warning or anything. Be warned! There's a HUGE CHANCE you'll spend a day, week, month, year on this game grinding your PL and having fun, and then log on one day to see your character deleted because an admin or favored character accused you of something without you being able to defend yourself.
