The gameplay of Pagos is really old school. Pre-dating WoW / FFXI
Back when leveling was only achievable from exp killing mobs.
Dying resulted in lost exp coupled with the complimentary corpse run, risking dying again (and again and again as rez points were in town and required you to run back through zones of aggro mobs with whatever spare gear). No fast travel.

You had to rely on others heavily - escorting you to your corpse, class with teleportation skills, borrowing spare gear, grouping up to grind using skill 1, 2, X and rinse and repeat.

Pagos is nostalgic for me but it's debatable whether it works in 2018 in an MMO ^ ^; I enjoy it in modest doses primarily due to having played games through that bygone era. It's like handling a Walkman.
