It's good (posted this at ~4.5k hrs)

Some years have passed, i reccomended it before, now it's a different story:
I don't reccomend it, the game is clearly on life support. Every new patch your old best-in-slot gear is rendered obsolete by the easiest-to-get catchup gear from the new patch. The grind to unlock things went on a path very different from the one from a few years ago. You now pretty much have to do the same thing on repeat for days because most items are behind *layered* RNG.
Also with every new patch they rework crucial systems such as the combat/companion/mount/enchanting system. Players used to call these reworks "nw 2.0, nw 3.0, etc", but now nobody keeps track anymore, there have been too many reworks.

The reason i say it's on life support is because there is no actual NEW content, just reskinned things with the same 4-6 repeatable quests. They added almost every single item in the premium store. You can actually buy a fully leveled character with gear (although by this point, very obsolete gear) with real money.

Tl;dr: this game just wants to get as much money as it can before it shuts it's doors forever
