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.
