I searched on google for days for a historical or a fantasy sandbox mmorpg. And I mean this literally, I spent like 10 hours non-stop searching in total (on multiple days), before I discovered this game on some obscure blog on the later pages of google (yes, google has more than one page of results, I was desperate).
I then quickly bookmarked it, rejoiced, and came back half a year later to see it has nicely progressed.
