Alright, lets be real honest about this game.

This game is absolutely P2W if you want to be one of the better competitive player out there (no skill needed). Be mindful that you are expected to spend over $100 USD per month just to maintain just 1 character and keep up with other classes. I.e., as a DS (Dragon Sage) I would need the following items within a month to "barely" maintain my class to not even be comparable to VIT DK (Dragon Knight):

*These items are from IM*
ASES 399 * 17 = $67.83
Trian pattern int 199 * 2 = $3.98
Kish's pattern HP 149 * 2 = $2.98
Natu pattern MA 205 * 2 = $2.50
Ash MA stone 550 = $5.50
Pet Lion 850 * 2 = $17.00

Total costs = $99.79 USD

Now, if we include the cost of maintaining a monkey while farming as there is no f**king way to have a permanent monkey or fusing option to obtain pet fairy (ash boss drop sh*t), trying to "+" Ferken weapon and accessories. The cost will be well beyond your car insurance payment or your monthly cell phone bill. Yes, it is obvious there is the usage of IP tickets to get stone option but mind you, those cost 3k IP Ticket per stones and only last 3 days. There's no need to go in depth about the IP tickets because the cost to effectiveness ratio is huge of a difference.

Oh yeah, in order to get more IP Ticket, you will have to do ED (Elemental Dung) and in order to do more ED, you will have to spend $1 per ED reset from the IM or 180k+ crones from other players. Back to P2W point again.

First class who reach 115 received "Enteral Vengeance" title more than likely boosted via ED. So it is likely they spend $ just for a title. It is possible that those people who boosted to 115 received compensation RPS from previous sever closure but ****, it is still a player disadvantage as there is no other way to obtain that title.

This game is not "new" player friendly. There is obviously disadvantage of new players as they will not receive Ferken weapon and "New Adventure Talisman". It is practically hard to try to level from 50+ going on forward because you will not receive talisman/pattern boost like how players who played when the server opened in 11/2020. And on top of this, you will not have the physical defense to solo in lower due to lack of armor/weap dmg/accessory.

Upon the release of Rev Rohan, there was no skill release tree prior to release. Players were not notified the rework done and no player based guide. So a whole bunch of players went in blindly choosing a class without knowing about the skill tree rework. I personally started with Int DS but then realized that Vit DK has a huge advantage after reading the conversion rate of vit to melee ratio. This is unbalanced as the factors weigh in differs from int to melee conversion ratio. When I realized this, my character was already beyond the point of no return (100+) unless I spend $$$$ to change class.

I was here the first day when sever opened in 11/2020. On the very first day, this sever got hacked and there was GM message posting everywhere cursing this game lol. So much for firewall protection and so much for an official sever, right? Oh we can't also forget that people were wall hacking to upper/rone/mirror dung (upper & rone was not available at this time).

The expected leech of this game to dry the server out will cost you well over $100 per month. If you're going to play for fun then be my guest. Just know that you will not even come near the top 25% if you don't spend money.

If ya'll are smart enough, putting your money elsewhere that will be better suited for your money's worth will be a whole a lot better than putting in to this game.
