1. QQ these memories always take me on the Feels Train. Was interesting liked how it got tied to Ryude. Was a bit confused about the "Ark" and Tower of Oz relation. Some of the 200 quests were a bit iffy imo cause of bad map/low spawn.
2. Yes, I just enjoy lore in general, especially things that link different parts of MS together.
3. Hmm, maybe a bit more on Alicia?
4. Well, we've had a story about the Transcendent of Light and one semi-related to the Transcendent of Life......so what does that leave us? The Transcendent of Time! Also maybe memories from Grandis/Tynerum?

I got some V coin today but i can't find V shop in my server.
Anyone can help me?

To clarify a bit, you got the V coins from the Magic Stocking. The V event (and shop) happened last December. It's an old bug where the Stockings give coins from the last year's stocking. Nexon'll will probably patch it and then give us the option to convert V coins into Nova coins.

this is a currently known bug, please browse the forum before posting

This player is probably new and doesn't know about the V event or the annual Stocking bug, so s/he presumed there was a new store for the "new" coins, hence a new post. Though I guess s/he could have tried forum searching "V coins" and the other post you're mentioning might have come up.

Bonus coins, bonus honor, and I think the biggest ones are going to be bonus profession and bonus monster collection rates.

if your exp is mainly from grinding, merc is less effective then both of the others, though i think grinding for a rune buff and then rushing bosses is still the best way to go about getting exp efficiently until arcana

Okay, ya. I did the math and realized my mistake. Apologizes.
For reference to the other ppl reading this thread:
Let's say you kill 1k mobs in 10 mins (yes, circumstantial and etc etc). Each mob = 1k exp
With lvl 1 Merc, you'd get 100,000 more exp. ( 10% * 1k exp = 100 exp; 100 *1k = 100k)
With lvl 1 Aran, you'd get 280,000 more exp. (6 blue, 8 purple, and 6 red orbs, which = 6(2k) + 8(3.5k) + 6(5k) = 12k + 28k + 30k = 70k; Aran Link = 70k * 4 = 280k)
With lvl 1 Evan, you'd get 60,000. (10min = 1k mobs, 1min = 100mobs; 2min [rune x2 duration iirc] = 200mobs; Evan link = 2.6min; 2.6min = 260mobs; 60 more mobs
you kill with x2 = 60 * 1k = 60k)
[To clarify, most ppl probably can kill more than 1k mobs in 10mins, just did for simple math. If you kill more mobs during the extended rune x2, then ya, Evan > Merc, though not too sure about Aran from this scenario. And also this is assuming you don't get multi kills/can keep combo counter to 1k]

Personally don't think Nexon should have to extend (and yes, I'm not someone who did Breakthrough so hold my opinion against me if you want). An update preview was released and with all the new events that start today, it should have been expected that they'd have at least some maintenance. Planning to make do a "clutch" 200 on the last day just looks like poor planning/laziness to me.
