The negative: The community can be unpleasant, but is generally forgiving and open to new players. There is a pretty steep learning curve, and the lack of a decent tutorial makes this worse. Balance and maps have improved, but I still find long, 3-4 hour stalemates fairly common in large matches. The positive: King Arthur's Gold is a truly unique experience. There's something for everyone in this game, whether you enjoy building massive fortresses, killing hordes of enemies, or role playing on a giant map with different races and factions. There is a decent competitive scene if you're into that sort of thing. Matches are usually full of people with mixed experience, so newer and more casual players can enjoy themselves as well. KAG is one of the most unique, addictive, and challenging games that I have ever played, and is definitely worth checking out. All things considered, King Arthur's Gold is probably the best ten dollars I've ever spent on Steam.

Fun. Various community maps, different servers and mods. Fairly tight controls, fun mechanics, nice multiplayer. Maybe a little complicated for beginners to get in since the game is generally pretty skill-based - if you're beginning, don't be afraid to say it. Ask for tips, why you are something wrong, etc. - a large part of the community expects you to play well.

This game is one of the best games I've ever played. Very fun and challenging, requires some skill thought. You should definitely try amazing world of King Arthur's Gold, if you haven't already. Tons of mods, tons of fun, try yourself in battle of knights and archers in TDM, use different tactics and strategy in CTF or if you don't like war, create lovely structures in Sandbox and blow stuff for fun. Not really interested in what was said above? try non-official mods for KAG, like Zombies, Assault corpses, Musical bucket, Role play and so on... I really recommend this game.
