3 of my friends who liked the concept of warband but did not play it due to the graphics, bought bannerlord before 3 days for Bannerlord Online. While they are a bit underwhelmed by the mod currently, none of them regretted the purchase and recognize the potential. They play a few hours every day and then log off, but they like it a lot and they cant wait for the future updates. This is the power of freedom in gameplay, not the bull**** classes/skirmish/unbalanced factions native has. TW better be learning a lesson from this, because at this point its ridiculing all their efforts.
