When was the last time YOU played Elsword?

[warlocke]

It WAS fun until its was littered with bloat, grind, damage sponges, spam skill strat, old mmorpg designs, still bad monetization, etc.

I love the early game, the learning of new classes is so fun that I have like 20 different characters.But I can't seem to fit into the endgame as well... tho I'm glad that it's still alive until now.

[marky]

why are you showing gameplay from like 6 years ago?

[KeiGGR]

We need elsword 2 or another game that follows the same principles and enhances it. It works and IDK why I haven't seen a similar MMORPG after this one

[suzuya]

Elsword genuinely had some of the best mmo pvp like 5 or 6 years ago. used to love this game idk how it's not EoS in america yet

[ThirstySkeleton]

The answer is no, you have sweaty gatekeepers who will prevent you from joining endgame activities unless you have already well built dps or play as a support for a very specific team comp that they want.

Elsword in 2024... is EXACTLY what you would expect.

I loved playing Elsword for 8-10 years but nothing could make me go back. There were too many pay walls that lock you out of content later in the game. Then they occasionally mass nerf old characters to encourage you pick up their new OP character, to scrap your progress.
And in the end game content which is raids you are literally just playing supports and watching people that spent thousands on the game carry you to defeat bosses that you have no hope of completing without a whale.

Who remembers "we did the thing?" elsword team combo showcase?

Man, this game was my liveblood between 2014-2018, alongside Maplestory. The Combat is really fun and sadly nothing others games were able to really replicate properly. However right now the game is absolutely not worth playing. KOG Games are really money hungry sharks and had to monetize literally all of the important progression parts of this game. There also used to be a goated private server named voidEls, which vastly improved the overall progression of the game and really felt like a definitive edition. However it got sadly shut down some years ago.

I would advise any new player to really avoid this game (same with Maplestory, but thats another story for itself). Elsword did however inspired me to sort of start developing a roguelite game, with similar combat and feel to it. Its just a hobby project tho, so idk if i ever want to bring it out.

I’ve been playing elsworld since 2011 all up to 2022. It was a wonderful experience. It sucks that it’s not getting the recognition it deserves anymore. I hope they could revive it but it was great memories anyway.

[StayInMyMemorie]

The game died 10 years ago when they choose money corruption and powerabuse over caring for the game. Defending famous scammers over actually listen to reports just cause they are friends with the scammers.

[Samko]

This is the perfect game for new players. For veterans there's just end game end. For new players they have SO MUCH characters to make and have fun with while veterans basically have almost the entire characters at 99

[jaredjosephsongheng]

To answer the pinned comment's question.
About 3-4 years ago.

[ShadowCrescent]

Been playing since its release. Ever since Grand Chase closed down and this game came up, still enjoy it from time to time.

Elsword always had something that no other game was able to have.
Sadly it's managed by a company (KOG) that is absurdly greedy and cares only about korean players opinion (despite the game being published in all the world).
It's so badly managed that if you play a normal amount of time and don't spend real money basically only 70% of the game is playable (the content from lv1 to lv99 and then Elrianode, Varnimyr and Rigomor). In the regions after that and in PvP, the game becomes so toxic and pay2win it's absurd. Very sad

Three words define it:

Paywall
Grindwall
Raidwall

Last time I played Elsword was in the early 2010s, I’m still surprised the game is still around i remember having fun with it.

Elsword will always have a special place in my heart, its the first time I took PvP (a little too) seriously, learning combos and stuff. Managed SS at that point playing Raven Sword Master (horribly underplayed at that point), still the highlight of my days playing Elsword, Was fantastic. I usually go back at least once a year, but turning 30 has slowed a lot of things down for me.
