Basically ill sum it up for you: Pre-Wipe: So easy to level up, ruined the fun out of grinding. White Scrolls and Chaos Scrolls were very easy to get. Since they were very easy to get, it ruined the economy. Then they thought of a way to save the eceonomy by adding this machine where you can get WS's, BWG' PAC etc. for certain coins , and if i can remember correctly each coin costed 5 mil each. LONG STORY SHORT: Tons Of 4th Job People, TONS of Godly 10% scrolled weapons, and a bad economy overall. Post-Wipe: OFMSNXJES WAAAY BETTER LIKE NO LIE. 4x exp - I love the nostalgic feeling of training so long to finally hear that ding! No Gacha Ticks, AP Resets and NX Cash drop from mobs anymore, helped economy. Harder chance to get White Scrolls, PAC's, BWG's etc. . LONG STORY SHORT: I love that the wipe happened; pre-wipe i was a loner Didn't know much people except some few Lubs members (Jake, Jordan and Dan <3) but now, i feel actually a part of this server! LONG LONG STORY SHORT: Wipe brought us together
That's awesome very excited to be here, dang if gacha tickets dropping can't imagine the chaos that's way too overboard.
Or the alternate take: Pre-wipe: was quick to get back to the level that took me YEARS to get to get to in GMS so I was able to relive the game as a bowmaster, going on zak runs and killing assorted bosses. (I never white scrolled anything or had super high level overpowered equips because I didn't care about that.) Post-wipe: omg if I spend another hour at voodoo I'm gonna scream. This is too much nostalgia. I agree it was a good decision overall for the server, but I can't commit that kind of time. The wipe happened just when the school year started and I got too busy to do much of anything.
Lol this. I actually had to quit for two months after the wipe because I had too much school work to do and on top of that my part-time job. I could have played for maybe an hour or two, but I didn't see the point in it if I was hardly going to make progress (at least pre-wipe I could have gotten something done in that hour or so like leveling, hunting, etc.). Now that this semester is practically over for me, I have ample time to play. What's done is done though and I moved on I guess.
I totally agree it's a bit over but it wouldn't be nostalgic a lot. Maybe if the rates increased like same EXP requirement you get me? Like for example Now level 10~11 is 20k exp lets say, after the rates rise the exp stays the same only the rates are higher so it would speed up things. I woudn't mind 8X what were the rates pre-wipe?
Just saying, this viewpoint is clearly HELLA biased. Not that I'm not, but you make it sound like the server was running into the ground before the wipe. I'm not going to go on a rant here because it's useless, but there was definitely plenty of fun to be had on the wasteland you described.
Of course. It's just that for a server with the tagline: FEEL THE NOSTALGIA, having an economy driven by custom drops (resets, NX cards, gacha) seems a bit silly.
