Was Lost Ark 2023, or earlier? Good thing it was free to play.

The progression of PSO2NGS. I dropped it last summer, and the story has gone nowhere since. They introduced the "Starless," the new dark force in the universe (probably born of Profound Darkness), but most of them seem to be reskins of the DOLLS-type enemies (which we find out were basically artificial Darkers/Falspawn, created in order to reawaken Photonic potential in ARKS/produce a Supreme Defender that could take on the Starless). No new locations have been added whatsoever since the first chapter finally ended. They've teased an upcoming area and an exoskeletal combat unit, but that update won't be until this summer. But the more I keep seeing, the more disappointed I'm getting. Lame fashions, lame collabs, lame events (literally plotless point shop hunts). The characters are not noteworthy at all, and the actors (in english) sound absolutely dead inside (where I KNOW some of them have actual talent for emoting).
