Latale, an old MMORPG comeback with papayaplay as it's new publisher for the north american server.
This game have seen ups and downs across the years and alot of the competition have leave it biting the dust, it's difficult to stay current when you are a 2D game in a world that is already in virtual reality ages and all games have graphics edging the reality, but many people just love the old school look and mechanics that makes a game focus more on the community and game play and less on flashy graphics.
What's is good about latale you might ask? The game have solid 2D graphics awesome soundtrack and the leveling experience is incredibly new player friendly while offering a deep story to follow (unless you just skip all dialog boxes ) it have a great variety of classes that feel unique so there is something for everyone, the game offer you a serie of pets that pick items for you (otherwise you expend more time picking loot than killing things).
The bad? The game hardly have a need for the traditional rpg party focus on tank and healer dynamic and instead it is more a damage dealers plus buffs team that can power through a dungeon like is nothing, many dungeons are never done by groups sometimes leaving people that need to do it either avoiding it or paying someone to do it from them while they sit back and collect experience and items; the PvP is both unbalance and unpopular and the level curve (the rate at which you level) is step, you find yourself leveling at the speed of light early only for the last 40 levels to take you several months of play (which isnt so bad since there's alot of dungeons and item update to do later on)
Why join now? The game is starting over which of course means new player events and returning veterans making the game feel alive and welcoming, as well the new company wanting to make the game popular at all cost means they will stay active on the issues unlike the old publisher which was ready to let the game die
