After a few false starts, I’m starting to get into this freemium game. I’m very much a casual player at the moment, and nowhere near the endgame. Nor have I explored the depths of the game - pets, runes, house servants etc. If memory serves, **Nava** plays off and on. Does anyone else? ---

I’d never heard of it. What sort of game is it? ---

It’s a freemium version of World of Warcraft. ---

I played for about 5 months a couple years ago, I putzed around beta testing it as well. Pleasant enough play, it was nice being able to own my own house.
