...What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to put these "Ashes of Creation" on my weapon in Elden Ring and it turns my weapon into an MMO

But in seriousness, it's nice to meet everyone. I had heard about this game a while ago but didn't follow up until now due to lack of real life time. This seems really intriguing because I never had a chance to get into MMOs during the "classic" phase where things weren't overly streamlined, so I'm definitely curious what's going to happen here

.
I AM serious about having a question though: Does AoC plan to focus more on PvP elements, PvE, or a balance? I ask because I'm a PvE type of guy. I'm not putting PvP down, just clarifying what sort of player I am so I don't waste anyone's time with questions that might be irrelevant to the game.
