“It's 2022. Why are you even here, reading this? The game has been oversimplified, the masters have left, the playerbase is gone, and vanguard is still ridiculous. Best leave while you can, traveler.”
“It used to be fun. First, all the user made swords were removed from the workshop and then the game was made free after everyone paid for it. It is no longer fun.”
