6. 🤔 Disappointing Aspects: User Density and PC Optimization
· Currently, users are concentrated in the Season 2 main map, Bahamar Highlands, so other regions may feel like single-player experiences due to fewer users.
· When playing the PC version, there are opinions that PC optimization is somewhat lacking compared to mobile, with long loading times or lag occurring intermittently.
· However, given the nature of the MMORPG genre, it's likely to become more active through updates and events, and optimization seems to require continuous improvement.
