The only way to make money by merching is if you have a solid playerbase that generates items, crone etc. This is simply not the case for ISEN. This results for ISEN in ''everyone on their own'' meaning if you want to be pro, the only option left is to spend $ to buy items from the IM and forge, refine etc. all gear yourself. In JAINUS however you could farm your way up throughout time, making nice deals in the process and become pro.

The big mistake everyone makes is that they think upgrades are expensive (30k rps or 300$), this is however a one time buy, permanent item which you can then use to farm and make money. If you'd compare this with the amount of money spent to get max tier items in ISEN in the past years (+12 chimera to +12 tali to +12 opaniels) for every weapon/ armour etc. I'm pretty sure you spent a whole lot more, this is the exact reason you're (D4rius) quitting atm because you relied on this single system with only 2 participants, you and PWI. As soon as PWI changes the game, you're ****ed. On Jainus however, you still have ways out.

You two can disagree with me but fact is, I'm doing fine in Jainus throughout all the past patches. because I've kept this (what I just mentioned) in mind, I've spread my money out over different items and classes and I played ISEN only when it was hot and the economy was flourishing to make ecash (people like Sunnyangel did the same thing, she understands how the in-game economy works).

And about this game being a waste of time, sure, but so are so many other hobbys, as long as you can relax and enjoy yourself, there's no harm done (that's how I see it)
Told this guy that but nahhhhh im the crazy one right?

This guy is a dreamer he only like new server because everybody starts out "even" going in. And yeah good trading and ecash is enough to sustain yourself in this game (with a few droughts throughout time where there is nothing to farm). I did go to isen and cash out just like I did on tempest and on divinity and on rohan la vangaza. A few months ago I had a bunch of hks running around got over 200 chars at this point but I have stopped that and I have not played since April.




To the guy trying to return to the game: You gotta ask yourself is this really worth it? What do you want to get out of the game?

You have a lot of lvling to do, you have a lot of gear you have to update and thats going to require work but its not impossible. Dont worry so much about upgrades I would more focus on the Skill Defense armor set so you can do minor/Inter instance dungeon. Hunterkit where you can and grind hunting bonus for the enhancement tickets and hold onto those until you get your hands on some rings.

If its pvp you want to get out of the game then im sorry its hard to find. Certainly not enough to justify IMing up.
