I've been here for, quite short though, 4 months now. Being a mid rate server, i guess it's pretty much a balance server. Donation is rather expensive though, considering the exchange rates to some countries, but you can also do well in game without donations. In fact, there are various places where donates don't work, as to balance the game. Aside from that, there are many supportive players and also GMs (wont say which fruit it is) that helps me to grow in-game.
