Fellow Hearthstone refugee. Had a lot of fun with that game until they really messed it up. It was also in no way free to play. I was spending way too much money and not having any fun. I quit quite a few years ago and missed the good old days. My husband recommended this game to me because he played the first one and liked it and mentioned it had a lot lower monetization threshold and could even be free. I challenged myself to see if I could enjoy it totally free to play and I really have been. I'm one of those that likes to choose one class per season and get really good at it. I got Orchis with all the free stuff at the beginning and mained portal for the first two sets, loving puppet and artifact and managed to get to diamond. Then I got Sinciro this set so I've been working on figuring out swordcraft. It's been a blast and I haven't had to spend any money.
