Yes, it's Eastern, yet there is NO forced PvP. After playing the first beta extensively and taking the booster to Max level. This game seriously reminds me of RIFT. It plays and feels very similar. The coolest aspect is that you can set up your skills to fire in any order by pressing the same key. Much like how you would set up macros in RIFT, Astellia allows you to sequence your skills to make button-mashing easier.
For those that enjoy PVP, there is a giant warzone which is a 3 faction PvP arena that supports up to 1000 players per map. After wandering around the map in the last test there was a lot of vertical space with multiple heights layered upon the map. There are NPC defended nodes to capture to earn points for your realm. The PvP areas are pretty massive and I was only able to wander around about a third of the map in the time I had available.
While many have overlooked this game rolling it into the "Oh it's another eastern game" category, I feel the need to proclaim that it may be easier, but a lot of those reasons you hate eastern games are not present. There is no griefing in this game which is a huge upside and the gameplay feels very familiar. If we had the following for this one it would meet our chapter compatibility matrix with flying colors. The only thing holding it back is people lumping it into the same box with Bless, Aion, Archeage, and Black Desert.
