title.
I really want to Zero.
Is there like a predictable pattern to their release or like an estimate to how much longer we have until then?

    They seem to allow creation for every patch seasons. So we should see him come back for Nov/Dec.

    A quick google search shows some history.

    As you can see, creation is basically allowed every 6 months.

    actually I thought it was weird that it in't available on reboot. I have been playing for a week or so and it just seems weird that one character class is locked away from a server that is supposedly a new start (at some point) but without all the paid content (as I read somewhere)

    IIRC, Reboot locked out Zero because of its ability to progress to 180 via it's own story quest and the starting lvl 100 weapon (which in itself is not all that great BUT) that can level up on its own by completing the story line, thereby giving you an endgame level weapon for doing nothing. Since Reboot's progression also makes it so that partying up and playing together highly advantageous, having Zero reach endgame gear on its own (with it's own gear shop to boot) probably made it ineligible for creation.

    I could be wrong, and sure, some of these could be circumvented/not really matter to some people, but it doesn't look like Nexon Korea is gonna change anything anytime soon.

    The leveling is now a joke for all classes so I don't think it's the problem... It's more the weapon system or like you said, the gain of endgame gear. But, let's be honest, they Just don't wanna put the effort to change what 'could' be wrong to bring Zero in Reboot... And the fact that korea don't have Zero in Reboot means nothing because Reboot in Korea is dead so...

    Again, it's not the leveling to 180 that's the problem. It's doing it alone when Reboot was essentially supposed to be our "replacement" for pre-BB in terms of progression/party play. Second, it does matter that Korea doesn't have Zero in KMS Reboot because everyone forgets that Nexon America is a publisher NOT the developer. Nexon Korea (and subsequently Wizet, which was bought out by Nexon Korea) deveolps the game and those major updates are translated and pushed out in different regions. But, I'm sure if they really wanted to, they could redo Zero to make it compatible with Reboot.

    I think it'd be interesting to see a character like zero translated into a lesser more grounded version of itself. like, sure zero is strong, but we all like to see the comparison of a character in the beginning to a character later. You know .... Shonen jump lmao

    Then again, we have a lot of things that Kms doesn't have (Kanna, hayato, gollux etc) so why not zero in reboot?? Now that they said that they are going to be more transparent, and after 3 years that reboot is live, can we now know if zero will ever be on reboot someday??

    To the original topic of when it'll become available again, it seems KMS had it available during the Black Mage update. So perhaps GMS will too.

    For vvhen vve vvill be able to make a Zero character. I reeeeaally vvanted to make one, and my friend vvanted to too. she lost interest but im still hoping that maybe vve could get back into ms1 once zero is available. im vvondering if burning to level 100 on a nevv character vvill count for the "atleast 1 lvl 100 character" requirement.

    note: vv = w. too lazy to edit it all out
