I played this server at its release, in january of 2021. I was amazed by the helping community, papperdoll system, the reset system, enchanting. I played for 2 months but i had some personal issues and had to stop playing for some time.
After a few months, when I got back I was surprised by how many new things have been implemented, like new areas/quest content, new quality of life (auto loot), pet revamp, balancing between classes, new seasonal events, market system, quests, wiki and etc.
I don't consider it p2w, more like p2fast. Everything that i saw so far, that makes a difference in stats of your char, you have means to farm in game with events/hunts/bosses/quests. The admin of the server always listen to the community and is fast to resolve any issues. The server is always changing and it's been improoving in many ways.
Nowadays the games in general are too easy, too fast to deliver your reward. In We Are Dragons I really liked the curve of progression and effort that is needed to get stronger. It's not absurd, but it's not too easy either. It's really reawarding to achieve your objective, like get your ultimate promotion and crafting your set.
The community always helped me when needed. If you start and need some help with doubts and questions that I can answer, you can message me ingame (Luzis), that I'll try to help as best as I can. =)
I'm having a really good experience and recommend it for newplayers!
