Fucking awful. I loved DKO and haven't found a replacement for it yet. It had such good potential but they fucked up initially marketing it (the whole pay to access a f2p beta with the ability to get it free outright from giveaways) and then refusing to be transparent about updates and future dev for over a year just letting it slowly die.

refusing to be transparent about updates and future dev for over a year just letting it slowly die.

That's par for the course for Hi-Rez... Realm Royale was a smash hit when it was in alpha, and they ignored the fanbase and kept messing it up more each update until it faded into obscurity.

Yeah I'm never going to play any of their games now in case I enjoy them.
