Huh? Is there an important quest you had to do at Singapore (Just curious because I just hit level 70 and I hadn't seen a request related to it yet)? I would like to know as well. I totally agree with you that the information in the game is a little outdated for some areas.

The reason would be that it's useful for meso farming, plus it had a badge that goes up to 25 stars with the ability to have potential.
Much like the Sengoku Badge, it was an extremely nice piece of equipment.

Singapore was removed in a recent update, as it seems GMS has a focus on less exclusive content and more focus on bringing the game closer to a KMS feel.
Here's the news page that talks about it and the reasons why.

Thanks for the answers. Just one more question, how easy is it to find a guild as a "noob"? I remember randomly getting into a new-formed one with players of various levels when I last played, but that seemed to be more of a series of fortunate events than anything else, as I was like lv27. Just about any game is more enjoyable when there's some sort of company around, in my opinion at least, so the ease of finding any sort of guild might be the deciding factor here.

If you are 150+ it should be incredibly easy. People recruit for them all the time.
150 is easy to achieve now and can be done casually (a few hours each day) in less than a week.

I personally think the game is worth playing. I'm extremely involved in the story and love every time I get a quest which deals with the main plot.

However there are some glaring issues with the game that can't be denied.
The population is extremely low, or it seems that way, because not many players are social outside of their own guilds.
Many people complain about grind. Some claiming it is too hard, some saying that it is too easy. It seems like as far as grind goes it's either love hate or more hate.
Some of the classes don't mob as well as others, so that could be a major factor.
You most likely won't be able to find a party if you want one, since nobody really does that. (Bring your own friends into the game with you)
Characters haven't really changed much, there have been some content removals that a lot of Reboot players weren't too happy about.

The game is a major time sink and you'll never really "be finished" with the game. There is always room for your character to grow.
"End Game" is really just wherever you decide to stop after hitting 250. You can potentially hit 250 on 40 characters for max legion, for example.
The level cap is soon to increase to 275, as well.

In the end, I think it's a great game to play provided you bring your own friends, or get into a social guild.
If you're playing it solo, I hope you really like the story or the grind.

Monster Exploration, King's Castle (Von Leon area) dailies, Mu Lung Dojo (I think, not sure), Legion Coin Shop, a few other odd places.

But by far (imo) the easiest way is to kill elite bosses. (The boxes can drop them.)
Or go into bounty portals. (The bags drop them)
I usually end up with a few epots each day just from grinding.
