I'm a big fan of Stephen King, but this series I just couldn't get into. Got as far as Wastelands and had to quit. The dialogue just seemed so phony I couldn't take it. Plus I never cared for the…

I played when it came out, took a huge break, then played briefly after it went F2P. I wouldn't mind going back, but if it's too hard to find groups for the early…
