I'm now 4 weeks out of school and need some work for the 4 weeks (of course, besides all the other stuff I usually do)
(By the way, for the PS4)
What would interest me in the game are there many active German or English players? Is the game PaytoWin? So that you can buy there with real money items, I can already imagine, is almost in every MMORPG so only mine I get there also without weekly z.b. Spend 30 euro? It does not bother me to spend money, but it is out of the question to have to put money in there weekly / monthly to be able to keep up. I've already done that with Neverwinter and eventually it gets way too expensive (that's why I'm looking for a new one now). If it were like TESO, it would be optimal.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
I would recommend to you to watch some videos on Youtube for this game as this game is very very extensive. (even the character creation)
First of all, to get an accurate picture of the game, look at some of the videos, as the one already said.
Well, as well as on most MMOs, English is the world language, ie on the EU servers, of course, mainly only ENG is spoken!
However, you also see a lot of DE or even some of RU etc.
To answer it for your question, yes for my conditions run there a lot of German or English players around.
The game is somehow or not a p2w game at all. In the shop you can just simply buy things to shorten the time for it, apart from cosmetics etc.
So if you want to buy something there, then about 20 euro per month for my circumstances certainly enough. One should consider, the game is more of a "commercial" game, that is, you travel around a lot.
Conclusion:
Is still popular for an MMO this time, many DE or ENG run around there too.
It is not p2w game, the things you can buy there are more things to help or if you are too lazy to farm everything or just just cosmetics or companion, so pets, clothes (without advantageous stats) or even Mounts, carriages etc.
