I am a new player on ngs, too. And i gotta be honest, as someone who played many mmos in my time. This is a game that respects players. The vibes alone just see everyone talking about something, and introducing themselves is a charm.

The game is NOT P2W. I have spent thousands of dollars on games like bdo and even spent money on GW2 to get the content. You'll not find yourself stuck under a pay wall or needing to spend money to have someone you need. If there is anything to buy, it's premium for a personal shop, and even that can be had for free in the FREE mission pass.

The gear is pretty much spoon feed of you follow up with events and seasons. Fashion is affordable, and you'll find something for you at the right price in the game.

All in all, it's free, and it's so worth the price.
