I am afraid that is not the reason why arus server die.
let me tell you the player habits of this game for years.

1st, buy rps spent on grabbit/GC/Rascal O' Poly
2nd, get XG accessory, (which the non XG version of it sometimes a very rare item)
3rd, the market is full of the XG accessory,
4th, refine the XG accessories to +9 like it was nothing so it can be sold in Black Market or to make it more like demanding item

there are tens of maps that wasn't touched by player for years. the habits above make the player only hunt in Ice Castle all the time from 90 - 251. the market only full of grabbit and GC ****. this system of game doesn't really appreciate player who is trying to explore the world of shiltz, i did explored a lots of maps when i was still playing this game, but it was still nothing to be compared with a cash spender player.
