Ashes of Creation
The overwhelming consensus points toward a project perceived as abandoned, with 'scam' and 'refund' appearing as the dominant sentiment across the community. Only 6% of the 400 players sampled since launch find any merit in the experience, leaving a massive gulf between expectation and reality.
What it's about: Ashes of Creation is an old-school take on the modern MMORPG set in a living, reactive world where your choices shape civilization. In this PvX open world sandbox, players will build cities, forge empires, and lay siege to foes. Uncover the Ancients as you fight to reclaim the fallen world of Verra.
