great server! economy is great, players are helpful and nice, you don't have to donate to receive the best equipment because everything can be obtained by playing (daily login bonus, automated events, gm events and cash points can be "bought" with zeny using gold coins) starting on the server as a new player is easy, like i mentioned, most equipment can be bought relatively cheap from players which is a plus! if you still are on the fence, you can atleast give it a shot! its worth it!
