1. There are alot of players even tho the server status most of the time is light ( it was heavy one day ) but the newb towns areint as populated as when it first went up, which i think is a good thing, was impossible to lvl because there were no mobs to kill.
2. The market is still young, everything is very cheap and mat buy shops only buy for around 5 adena over vendor prices. There are 40+ players actually...but these people are thoes "exceptionaly skilled" people *wink*.
3. your going to have to fight for alot of the good lvling places at newb towns, these places everyone knows about and are usally crawling with people who kill steal. so find a good spot no one knows about if such a place exists. other than that id say its a pretty good server, just a bit laggy for us not in europe.
Bots, bots, bots, bots, bots, bots, bots and bots :)
I reported countless of them since server start. They're still here, having reached a level twice as much as me, and wearing top equipment. And still botting.
