The World of Magic Reviews

I loved this game and have played on an off for years since middle school. I was excited the first time I earned money and was able to support the developers but… The game has likely been dying for a long time now. If it wasn’t full of gold farming bots to the point its unplayable the game could have had a chance. Its been in this condition for years nothings been done about it. I don’t know why they removed the bot reporting feature there used to be. Taking a stroll through a few servers I only saw bots and no players. The game is grindy to the extreme but it had a certain charm to it. As it is its unplayable.

Below is my original review:

I have nostalgic playing this game so it is fun to walk around in occasionally but the grinding gets monotonous and excessive around level 20. If you are okay with just enjoying a game and leaving it unfinished then this is a great game.

Actually very disappointed, I’ve been playing on and off since this game came out and never had my account banned out of nowhere for a mistake I didn’t do. My girlfriend and I started playing constantly for about two months now and I had bought platinum a couple of times (because I know how hard getting gold can be). Yet about 2 days ago my card was charged an unknown transaction from TWOM in which obviously I had refunded to my card in which resulted in my account being banned permanently and my girlfriend’s as well mind you all purchases were made with MY account, meaning her account has no reason to be banned at all, we tried contacting Com2us for support in hopes to get our accounts back because we were really enjoying playing especially together all for them to simply say that both accounts were at fault somehow? Would like for a proper investigation on both accounts knowing that my girlfriend’s account didn’t violate any rules, and as for mine well I know I didn’t do anything either but refund an unauthorized purchase but Com2us won’t properly do their jobs. Quite frustrated to be honest considering I had spend around $50 on the game to simply enjoy the game a little more.

So apparently this new update made some items sell for less than before when selling to NPCs. Example is armor scrolls, before it used to be sold at a price of 5000 gold but since the new update came out it is now sold at 1000 gold... really? reducing items like that to 20% of their original selling price? They already messed up the selling cost of leather and boar tail hair equipments already, now they make everything more tedious so you can buy a premium ticket. It is obvious they are making the new Darlene so that sheep players will spend money on this dying game just to progress. I only came back to see if this game has improved, but apparently it became even more disgusting than when this first came out. And dont get me started on their support, they dont even send an email a recovery for an old account they wont since if you lose it you’ll have to make another one which in terms most of the players right now will spend money on which is what they want. I’m done and not coming back here again. And I hope anyone reading this do so too. There are even better games to preoccupy with your time than this mess.

Where to start? I first played this game many moons ago when it was first released on TheWorldofMagic Store. Stopped playing after a year or so after I became more busy with school and to be fair the gameplay is very grindy. Being level 40 was a miraculous even. A few years ago I decided I wanted to try the game out again so I created a new account, verified it and everything. Played for a bit, spent some money. Well I got a new phone and had to log back in. Tried to log back it it told me my account doesn’t exist. Reached out to customer support and they WERE EXTREMELY UNHELPFUL. They told me generic stuff like “click reset password” like I wasn’t trying that 10 million times before reaching out to them. At the end of the day they couldn’t help me recover my account at all saying that account doesn’t exist even with a verified email and information so all in all I feel like I’ve been scammed out of my money and even my time I spent on this game which is a real shame…
My advise? Be careful when spending money in this game and creating an account because their support team is nothing short of trash.

So I really enjoyed this game and I have been playing on and off for the past 10 years. This me is nostalgic for me. However, I would rate it no stars for their recent actions. My friends and I have recently returned to the game because we heard of new servers opening. We’ve also spent money as well in order to keep up with these new servers’ competitive pace. However, we were “permanently blocked for illegal activity by using unusual payment to obtain platinum/golds.” When we try to inquire what “illegal activity” took place, customer service repeatedly sent the same generic email. The people we made friendship online who had their accounts unjustly banned as well received the same email without a proper explanation. Rather the email states that they have verified the activity and has received “proper evidence” before blocking multiple accounts. However, based on their generic responses, it appears that they fail to disclose why these accounts have been banned. I would have given 0 stars for their most recent behavior but sadly that’s not an option on reviews.

Dear Com2us,
With all the respect your new updates are unnecessary and making a chaos in the world of magic. This new update taking away the security from an account is so stupid. People and friends lost they accounts and all they equips and items just because you guys decided to take this off. You guys do not even ask us what would we like to be improved or what would we like you guys to take away. And the security was part of this that we needed in order to keep the accounts some people had bought from other players. Like you guys are so ignorants people actually use money to play this game and you guys just push people away and make them not want to play and quit. Do you know how easy is now days for hackers to hack a facebook and if its linked to the game they could have access to your account ? And we cant even do anything about it. I demand the people who lost their equips to get them back. That so unfair that they worked so hard and they just get scammed like like just because you guys decided without asking any of the player how this could affect them like really? Thats so not cool

I got the game after someone’s recommendation, it’s not bad not personally my type of game, but I kept it because I like the costumes and I personally love mages anyway.

This problem pretty much started as soon as as got the game, I went through all the downloads as I first logged in, but now randomly at times I’ll log in, and instead of having the “Automatic” start on my screen, it gives the screen of a player who’s never played with the “Guest Account” option or “Hive Account” option (which gives a mini-heart Attack every time)
So I tap the Hive and it makes me go through 18 updates. Sometimes it’s 2 or 3 updates in a single day which isn’t helpful if I need to log in quickly. I just really don’t understand it-
Atop from that every time I crash, freeze or lag out I have to put in my password again and sometimes it won’t even accept saying I’ve timed out or I’m already logged in. I feel like those could be fixed, I’m not sure if anyone else has experience it.

I have so much fun playing, in a good guild and lots of friends. so I Love this game, and I would rate higher but since the last update that happen nearly almost two days ago. I still have not been able to log in. I don’t want to complain about this game, but disappointed at Apple for making game patches harder to deal with and also how long it’s taking to resolve this issue. Apparently their is an issue with google drop? But the amount of time to recognize this issue and also not even addressed to players is disappointing. The amount of time to even make a small notice about is also sad which doesn’t have much info or when iOS users will get to play again. It’s quite unfair that one device gets to play and other devices are still having issues logging in. Just would be nice to have issues fix for All players and devices.

This game is great and I’ve been on and off on it for years now. I love how it’s easy to make friends and just grow with your character. But the game seriously needs an update. It’s been almost the same for years now and they clearly don’t put enough effort into this game. It can have so much more potential and popularity if they would just add some new stuff. There were never this many bots before either. Step up your game Come2us. The game deserves more love and attention. The OG players deserve better too since their the ones keeping the game alive. not to mention how it’s become a cash grab and most people play to make money off of it. I wish the developers would add new things instead of just making useless events. Get rid of maintenances too seriously annoying.

Very fun mmorpg with friends. I've been playing on and off for years and it always comes back to me. Recently in Darlene, I've noticed a few characters standing still in an area(mushroom marshland specifically) that immediately attacks monsters in their range. I thought that these were just intense players but they didn't pick up their items. This was peculiar but to further examination, there was another player who would walk in a guided path picking up the dropped items. It looked like a factory with mechanical machines creating and packaging objects. The spots i've seen them were in the Swamp Boar spawns and I even captured a video of them. Please fix this issue because it makes farming/training difficult especially if you're a low level.

I love the idea of the game and the art direction, but my god does this game get boring quick. The main goal of the game is to level up your character, actually no it’s the only goal. There’s is not much to do besides elevate your level, and the process of actually gaining exp is obnoxiously repetitive and painstakingly slow. And all that grinding for what? So you can might be able to actually kill the veteran players who have been running around slaying you? I played this game for a while and then took a break for a year or so, and when I came back to the game, nothing was changed! How can a year past with no significant updates to a game? It’s clear that Com2us no longer cares about the WOM player base, if they ever did, and they simply update the game in minor ways such as adding more useless cosmetics to squeeze the lost drop of revenue out of the game before they abandon it. The game has infinite potential yet it’s on it’s death bed, I only wish it would get more attention from its developers.

I agree with a lot of the other reviews on here, in the sense that the game needs more. The process to level up is slow, and it’s the only purpose of the game.

If you’re really struggling with ideas, here’s some:
Player houses (maybe make a new village just for the houses)
Daily gifts (for logging in)
More quests (MOAR QUESTS)
New places to explore, plus new NPCs
Easier ways to level up (maybe by playing mini games, or getting supplies for NPCs)
Animations for the character (wave, laugh, cry, etc. This would be a good way to bring life to your avatar)
Jobs (as a way to earn some extra money, or even items)
New classes, or as others have stated, subclasses to make the game more interesting. As an idea, maybe have each character have a special skill, maybe related to the elements. (i.e. fire mage, Wind archer) this could add more variety.
Maybe add some NPCs that could help the player fight, as an idea, maybe rent the service of a knight to help you fight, or ensure your safety when on a difficult mission.
Have an option to play in “survival mode”, where you can build, hunt for food, fish, and explore. Or have players buy plots of land that they can build on, and everyone can work to build a neighborhood (of sorts).

Now, doesn’t a game with all these features sound appealing?

Training takes forever and getting loot unless your like a lvl 35+ war. This game is amazing but training and looting is the most important and hardest things in this game. I feel jobs or quest from a village npc like Today if u can collect 3 clovers I shall trade them for 10k or something or a job with a npc that follows u and pms u and says kill 3 bosses and I will reward you with 25k. Wars are the only ones who can really loot. Mages barely can get lvl 30 fast without a war. And rangers aren’t as strong as wars to loot as easy as they can. And training. You have to train for years to get lvl 40+ and is super annoying. After wars get sweep is easy to train but hp isn’t. I feel pots are a lot but kind of worth it since there’s no life steal or heal abilities besides sds rangers lv 30 and heal pop and shield for mages. I feel rangers equips should have a Life Steal 0.2 etc stat and for pets and dexterity and strength give life steal. And traditional skills like multi double shot slam sweep wild swing etc should have life steal. I enjoy this game so much but I feel exp and looting should be easier for all characters.

Honestly, this game was an amazing experience and so underrated. I've made tons of long-lasting relationships where we've been through so many things, and it’s the best feeling ever. The community of this game may be a little toxic, but the pros outweigh the cons. I'm glad I found this game. It gets really addictive when you meet the right people. I also hope the game fixes the training exp rate. It's super hard to level up once you reach a certain point, so you will be doing constant farming, killing, and partying for little experience in return. A waste of time for people who don’t always have time for this game. Other than that, amazing games and concepts. Events are really interesting but can get a little repetitive at times. Please give it a try!

I believe the game is great, I’ve played on and off for about 3 years and it still has his effect on me which makes me come back to it every now and then. The choice of making it easier for Lv 1-20 to level up is great! Makes the game less boring(playing with reluctance), along with the gifts we get. I’m very glad about this change. The only thing that seems a little useless is the costume equipment vs the normal equipment. I feel as though we should be able to equip as much items as we want. Aka being able to wear two hats or something like that. To be able to use more of our inventory/purchases would be amazing!

OG player here, JrGong, I played back when it was only Devilang, Bigmama, and Wadangka for the servers and it was very different from what it is today. I’ve met some cool people in this game and even some really trustworthy ones that would do my dirty work for me, while my corporate job got hectic. There are some legitimately trusted players, but most of the people in the game are scammers and wannabe hackers, just buy the platinum. On a side note, GMs can probably spawn items and gold at will and sell to the community at a much faster rate than platinum is sold due to instant gratification. Also, with a dwindling player base they have a need to create new servers as to entice players to start the new grind all over again. This game was fun, but needs a huge overhaul on drop rates, maps, and spawns. It has so much potential to introduce kind-hearted children to JRPGs, but I feel like corruption has overtaken it - like the city of Gotham. Just remember to keep flapping those chicken wings. I give 5 stars for effort Com2Us, but just make me the CEO and I’ll fix this trash game.

This game is fun, that’s no lie, but the sheer amount of maintenance is kinda ridiculous. The latest update even made it so that iOS users will not have access to the game for over 24 hours, like seriously what the heck. IMO only stands to lose money by doing all this since by playing the game, players buy more in-game currency. Also this is my opinion but the game should consider adding in new classes or sub classes at least to make the game a bit more interesting. I understand why they wouldn’t add quests for gold or equipment and whatnot but at least make a new class to interest more players. Sure it’ll be abused a bit but that’s pretty much every MMORPG. I think they could make a ton of money by doing so. In conclusion, fix the game, make it swift, and don’t leave one device out while giving another access to the game; it’s quite unfair.

I believe this to be one of the simplest hardest mmorpg games out there for smartphones. It is also an amazing game, it is the kind of game that yes using real cash will help but you can also grind it out and some people love the grind.

I believe this to be a must try, believe me though the grind is real with this one, but that’s what makes it worth it, when you reach higher levels. If it was an easy grind everyone would be max level and let’s face it that would be boring.

I do believe that the creators/owners of the game should focus more on finishing the mini story instead of the awesome costumes. I also believe they should have a nicer incentive for new players, such as Xp for the mini missions and perhaps a free pet and costume and a few xp boat for new players.

I have been playing this game for a while and I must say I enjoy it and always come back to it.
There is drama and somewhat of police involved.

If you do decide to try it out, join the bigmama server and look for PKYI and I will gladly help you level and Perhaps help you with a few minor items to make your journey smother. :)

Please make it so everyone can lvl up faster please it takes at least a good 5 years to get from lv 1-45 and it’s tiring I made it to 40 before but it’s so tiring when you make another account love you guys so much for making this game thank you for listening also the pets are amazing too y’all should make money drops higher because the consistency of money to play the game is very low we need gold to be able to make new armor make it easier just these thing I’m asking y’all been playing from since 2012 so I wanted to thank y’all for still having this game also can you improve the drop rates and respawn times of the monsters the games awesome just need a little tweaks love the game again and thank you also please listen and try to implement these things your players love y’all try to make it more fun for us
- TRUE PEACE

Such an amazing game of your a fan of 2D mmorpg. Reminds me of a game I used to play “Nexus kingdom of the wind” ages ago. The only downside that I have would be how long it takes to level. It is quite long, now I could understand the length from 10 levels from the highest but just to reach end game for pvp and such it’s quite a task. I’m only lvl 17 and barely scratch the surface. Other than that if you are in need of a 2d mmo look no further. Also it doesn’t seem so much like a pay to win at all. I’ve maybe spent $10 and I am completely satisfied. Also have my kids playing with me which is a plus when you have not so much to do!
