Been playing for a while now, I'm not the highest in game but the gap isn't unreasonable even for someone starting now. My observations;
- Medium rate but with plenty of access to kits (feels like high rate stats with a med rate level speed - importantly it works)
- Admin very active and welcoming
- GS reasonable (items can be gained via other means too)
- Spells are available not just via boss drops but with quest grinding so brings some balance
- Plenty of Caves and areas, haven't been too crowded except at the beginning when everyone was level 1 (which rates were adjusted to balance)
- 30 users the other day which was nice
- 3 guilds i think currently active
- no major bugs so far and only 1 crash with quick turn around to live again
- seen constant updates and tweaks since its been running all positive and fair adjustments
- Plenty of quests to do (when you complete a line of quests there is a kill 1000 of mob version that gives a nice reward which is good for the grind)
- Server community seems fine as a whole
Only negative(not really) is there isn't really an economy at the moment as everyone is in the early boat but that will come with time, gold isn't super easy so it will just come as the drops do.
Worth a go
