if u check some unofficial forums, people are going against ToS every single day. I dont participate in such behavior but it really damaging to see that the game is corrupted and the economy is bad.Part of that could likely be solved if Nexon started to crack down on it. Oh you're a level 250 Shade and you've spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on the game but are also selling ingame items for real money and/or selling character names? Ban!
Just saying, if you're gonna suggest Reboot, lay everything out for the dude before he gets into it and realizes he doesn't want to spend all of his time farming mesos or something. If he wants to do that, it's his choice, but it's best to let him know what he's going to be getting into beforehand, right?Let the newbie choose his/her playstyle.If you're going to tell someone to play on Reboot who's just downloading the game for the first time, then you ought to tell them as well that if they choose to do that then 95% of their time on the server will be spent farming mesos or trying to find a map in which to do so.Join an active Guild in any servers and you will get all the Guides and Tips.I managed to do this after getting 16 characters to lvl 120+ and my main to lvl 179... XD
Advice for Newbiekins: Get on Reboot. The other servers are flooded with extremely excessive demand for financial funding (you'll drop a couple thousand $$$ easy just to get up to speed). Just get on Reboot. Then make a Mercedes for her 10% XP link skill at lvl 120. Then plot out your next Link Skills and make each character as necessary. It's usually best to start your MapplStirry Ad Ventures during a "Knew PlayEr E-Vent!" so you can get some neat and extremely overpowered rewards (like I did during the Burning and Frozen events in June-August)
If you are here for grinding,just go on Reboot.
Otherwise,Scania for the most active community.
