the player who comes back to the game when it is completely polished will spread advertisement through word of mouth, but not yet. they really need to focus on new player experience and basic UI / combat bugs and mechanics.

I have 3 friends i word of mouthed this game to and they quit within a week due to horrible ui (lag) and combat system being clunky as balls. this was during 1.18, or right before it came out.
word of mouth is bad if that is the ONLY thing they used to advertise, but if they don't make their current playerbase happy, it definitely wont end well either when people decided to rageangry at gamesites that does reviews, this isnt something they should be taking a risk with.

Most people will read reviews before trying this game out because next advertisement will be re-release/second launch.
