Been on the server since day 1, I was in the Beta but was rather preoccupied so had to skip that. If you're looking for a High Rate server that isn't much grindy, you're in the right place. Overworld bosses, or the ones in fields and dungeons have been given steroids and will need a party to bring down. Refining is made a lot more easier, eliminating the need of Enriched and up as the normal materials works the same. Donation is beyond balance as it's only aesthetics so absolutely NO PAY2WIN.

I've been on this server for about a month and a half. More of PvE, I would say it's kind of p2w as HDs/Enriched materials are rather scarce to come by even with the mining event. There are vouchers for Cash points and also you can vend with/for cash points as well as other varieties of items the population uses as currency which I think kills of any chance of zeny being the currency. I gave balance a 5, wouldn't really given it anything as kRO quite broke it anyway when renewal came out.

From the first day onward, connection has been terrible despite the booming population due to persisting "500Gbps DDoS attacks". Endgame gears are accessible via donation shop. They're fairy price if I might say, but I've never seen cosmetics sell for a whopping 150$ or 200$. Seemed too far-fetched for me, you can't even wear them during WoE or KoE. If you're easily frustrated, this is not the place for you. I'd wait until they've manage to deal with said DDoS attacks.
