One of the cool things about the server is Talon Coins. It allows new players to grow into the game, and not have a huge gap, not only in terms of zeny. But also in terms of gear. Talon Coins are obtained through donations, which suggests pay to win. But it isn't really, or at least it wasn't. There's ways to obtain them in-game. However the more fun ones have been systematically removed. Essentially making the game less fun overal. No more champion monsters for example. Real shame.
