the resurrection of ELOA has come, branded under a new publisher and brandished with a new name, Warlords: Awakening has risen from the digital grave to christen a host of new western players with a Korean MMOARPG that woefully underperformed not but two years prior. Has it improved since our original review?

    At least its 0.2 higher than it was last time when it was under a different name 2-3 years ago: https://www.mmorpg.com/mobile/reviews.cfm/read/419/game/1332/ismb/1/elite-in-name-only.html

    I gave it a shot out of sheer boredom upon it's [umpteenth] release. It was alright. Boring leveling, grinding, and whatever. Everything was a face roll until the first boss that took currency to fight. Just wasn't special and certainly not worth a price tag. I do always appreciate pet collecting though.

    They have less than 100 active players all time. Its just a copy+paste article from the past right? I seen that if I remember well. Good job.

    At the rate at which it is improving, only 24 more relaunches to go before it's a perfect 10.0.

    The game doesn't use Unreal Engine 3. It uses Gamebryo. The client also isn't coded well and displays stuff based on the scaling so if you have it set to 125% in Windows, it will display that way where stuff gets cut off (it has to be set to 100%).

    The Steam Early Access Reviews should have been enough (well the ones that actually had effort put into them) to outline what a poorly handled cash grab attempt this was. The red flag before that were reports about Playwith shutting down the Korean server just a week or two before they launched the early access. https://massivelyop.com/2018/07/19/warlords-awakening-just-sunset-in-korea-and-now-its-coming-to-steam-early-access-here/

    The company laughingly cited the mess that happened with Bless Online and performed far worse in the communication department. Veteran ELOA players said that Playwith screwed up the class skills with changes that didn't make sense (and ruined the PvP side in the process) and despite Playwith claims they would listen to player feedback to make the game better before official launch, they never really did.
