The no response issue is terrible truly 2000 hours on the launcher and 1000hrs on the steam version. Trying to get back into and now I can't. It's like I have to reset my pc and only install Elsword just to play. This needs to be fixed the game wants to be great again.

Picked up the game again after a decade to see how it runs on the steam machine, delighted to find out it runs perfectly as I remember and my characters all still existed. I gotta relearn the controls and maybe make a new character to refresh on the lore but I still really enjoy this game, it's entirely progress able for free and you can get free cosmetic accessories during events. I do wish there were font size options beyond the chatbox because all of the other text is very tiny. It's a fun hack n slash side scroller with a variety of characters to choose from and various skill combos and classes to advance to thats very easy to break into.
