I already had that from maplestory. Seeing as you have to get to the level cap just to PvP 'competitvely' and the fastest way to get there is by speed grinding a select few dungeons, yes, it is VERY boring. Running the storyline and every quest you can find will not even come close to progressing you like that.

I know it has been a VERY VERY LONG TIME since anyone on TL has played this game, but I'd like to bump due to the fact that lvl 50 cap came out a few days ago. I've started up again to kill time, jw if anyone else is interested in playing again. Leveling has suddenly become WAY easier (one dungeon + 2 finished quests got me like 40% on my lvl 33 alt).
In other news, apparently all 4 servers (both east and both west) are all merged now.

anyone still play this game? xD

Good game, but Nexon turned it so in order to get geared endgame you have to sink hundreds into the game.
Probably the best MMO pvp system and solo PvE content out there though :/. Too bad in order to get the best out of PvE it costs so much

Lul. So even with my previous comment i just went what the hey and made a lvl 60 sniper.
Its a big time sink, found that later in the game the story started to kinda indulge me, tbh I cant wait till the next chapter. It is still a pay2win kinda style, but its not impossible to get high gear in this game without paying a cent, making gold is tedious, sure, but if you have a good guild/friends you can do lvl 60 nests and make quite a bit of money.
This is coming from the guy who played maplestory, that game is literally soooooo fucking fucked that you cant even do about 20% ~ 30% of the bosses without sinking in a few hundreds.

But the problem is when you want to do the end game nest. Either you have to wait for the next level cap to be released so you can overlevel everything and beat it, or you have to shell out hundreds for amazing gear, costumes in order to get into a good raid group to beat the nest.

is that really required i did the level 50 content without paying anything and that was after ~3 weeks of moderate playtime
though to be fair i left before GDN HC was released at 50 cap so that might've been hard?

Played this game on EU since NA servers suck dick. Played when this game first came out with lvl 24 cap, was fun, but updates were slow so there was nothing to do, and I quit. Made a new account on EU, since I tried to play on NA servers a little while back, but the server was down for like a week+. (No ping lag of any sort, I wonder why, even though I'm connecting from NA) I played this game for 2 weeks on EU, and from my experiences, this game is hella fking fun, but the downside is that endgame content is easy to reach, and that makes it stale. There used to be this 4x exp boost event and I managed to get 3 characters easily to lvl 60, which is the cap on EU. Like within 2 weeks, with smart money making skills/grinding, I got almost godlike gear on my PVE char, +11 epic weapons with +10 armor as a set, perfect jades, perfect heraldry, all skill heraldry, etc on three characters. (This lvl gear on EU is considered sufficient, since there are no unique or legendary lvl 60 gears out yet on EU) After that, there was nothing else to do except stack more gold for next update, but that's a month away, and I don't think they are going to update end game content then, so I got bored and quit. I also made a PVP char , but I found it gay that because of time zones, ladder was always empty, and finding even regular pvp games was hard as fk. Even though PVP was really fking fun. This meant that I was pvp grinding vs people in my guild over and over again. Secondly, The nests in this game are really unique and fun, but they have two downsides. The first is that they make it so that you can only do these nests a certain number of times a week. And with the low number of end game nests, and easy lower level nests, you can finish all the nests in one day. And if you want to have something else to do for like the next 6 days, you have to either make new characters to do these nests, or grind for gold. The second downside to the nests is that they are too easy in a sense. The nests are challenging and fun in the beginning when you are new at the game and your gear sucks, but because godlike gear is so easy to get in this game, you find yourself powering your way through nests easily within a week of playing, and then you have nothing else to do. Only thing you can really do is make more gold, or make new characters to go through the same process again, which gets stale after you do it three fking timesXD, and the same end game nests like 40 times a week. Oh wait, they had a nest reset halfway through this previous week, so 120 nest runs in like 3-4 days or something. (Skewl started, but first week was slow, so I played a lot)
So in conclusion, Sufficient endgame gear is really easy to get so you can easily be kewl within the game while still playing as a casual. (You know a game is ez when lvl 60 came out like 3 weeks ago on EU, and at least 70% of the player base has gear good enough to do PKN/TKN normals, and like 30% has gear to do TKN/PKN hell which came out a few days ago) Downside is that end game content is really dumbed down so it's going to be hard to have a real challenge in the game when you figure out boss/nest mechanics within your first 3 runs and your easy to grind uber gear which kills bosses really freaking fast. Even the new Hell mode for PKN/TKN which came out a week ago on EU. And lastly, the end game content release for this game is really slow so expect to go through the same end game nests multiple times, and new nest/raid releases also being really easy. Right now, if you play on EU, since the server is new, you can easily reach end game gear/content without being behind, and without paying a single cent, unlike NA.
Also, this game fun as fk for those new to the game, to the point of being addictive, and if you play slowly, you will always have something to strive towards in the game.
