Keep in mind, I'm not writing this to offend anyone, I'm doing it because I believe in second chances and that even OT's can change.
The server is nothing like I had hoped.
I thought it would be the RPG server of the year, I was 99% certain that I would enjoy this to the maximum.
I believed that finally, after this long period of waiting for a good custom OT to get online, we would all be overwhelmed by all the unique features and vocations.
Let me tell you.. I was wrong.
At first I didn't have much time to spend on the OT, so I didn't. And I didn't think twice about it because I had other things to do.
But then I had some spare time and decided to give it a shot, since I was one of the players on the alpha, which I enjoyed very much, btw.
The alpha was very cool, we were 4-5 people all the time. I was invited twice to join a group to try some dungeons. I played bard, and it was challenging and fun. All the new spells, the bosses etc.. We even wiped a few times.
But, when I logged in to the official release. It was no longer alpha, no longer beta. This was the real deal. This was supposed to be the server I had been following, the custom RPG server of the year.
I was hyped.. For 5 minutes.. Then I logged in.. I saw TPs.. Not only to monsters, but even to quests.. training knights.. I was like.. "Did I enter the wrong IP on my IP-changer?!".
But then I played anyways, because I had nothing to do. Later on I checked the donation shop, I was thinking if there were any vip doll or something that could give me an advantage in leveling.
Once I checked the donation shop, there were SO much more than "gold account doll". There were whole donation sets. These donation sets were apparently the best items ingame.
Anyways, stupid as I am, I bought a donation set to my character and the difference was huge. The damage, the survivability, everything had been increased by huge amounts.
I even started liking it, ofcourse. I was overpowered, compared to the non-donors.
It went a few days, I still liked it. I grinded poi from level 100-220 in a couple of hours. Then radiants were released and me and my team decided to go there instead, because the EXP was so much better.
We were there for a few hours and that was kinda everything we did that day. Fun huh? No.
Disappointments (Imo):
1. There are TP's to everything.
2. The vocations aren't balanced for shit.
3. The server is a moneygrab, there's no denying it. I mean, cmon? You can buy the best set available for 20€.
4. I'll write more as I think.
Remember, this is all in my opinion. You may have your opinion, so let me have mine.
