it's been 6 months+ since i've played on this server and it's quite good experience, you can start by reading wiki's provided and do some research about how to earn money and get going. Also the server are having christmas limited event that even newbie can participate too! try it now. For my PvE experience it's quite good and stable, there's no OP class or broken instance. It's all good. but on the other side, PvP and WoE content need some reworks. Anyway you can be good without donation!!!!
